Silent Hill?? No No this game became junk horror game specially "Silent Hill:Downpour", maybe the horror atmosphere is good comparing to RE 4,5 and 6 but Silent Hill Still bad in fighting and monsters design.

If you want a perfect game to compare with RE you have DEAD SPACE, this game is the first Contender between all horror games and the only game combines the good shooting, the scary atmosphere and interesting story all together with a perfect form

So if you want to compare RESIDENT EVIL with other strong game Compare it with DEAD SPACE ... that will bean exciting comparing
