Silent Hill 4 a turn for the worse
User Rating: 6.8 | Silent Hill 4: The Room PS2
Now let's get this out front first, I've been a huge fan of the silent hill series, But this new one they changed alittle too much for me to recommend. I mean don't get me wrong the game has a great creepy plot, and atmosphere, but they ( Konami ) changed the gameplay too much to the annoying side of things. Example, the inventory system is lame come on only 10 items can be held at one time, Konami that's resident evils inventory system, it was lame then, and it's lame now. Futhermore the combat is extremely SLUGGISH with an emphasis on sluggish, this is a game that is heavy on combat, so the controls should have been much tighter, and also have more ammo and better weapons. However the game itself story, and atmosphere are excellent, but a lot of points are taken off for sluggish controls, and really no true replay value. Just getting 4 different cut-scene endings isn't enough for this gamer. How about 4 totally different story lines like Konami's old game for the playstation called Broken Helix that game had replay value. Well anyway the game is fair but not great , I would rent it first if I was you.
