Excuse me if this is an overdone topic, (I'm new) but I've been wanting to discuss this for a while.
And it's going to be long.
Alright, so.
I've noticed that a lot of people hate on Silent Hill 4. I, for one, love it. It's my favorite, tied with the second game.
Usually, people just tell me that it sucked without giving a reason.
So, I'd like you to give me a reason about why you do or don't like it.
There are many downfalls about the game, but there are upsides too.
Downfalls:
It wasn't a very scary game, because (in my opinion) they took away the flashlight and the radio. You could see all around you very easily. That took away part of the scare factor for me. And with the radio, it would tell you when monsters were near. Static is a scary/disturbing sound to me.
There weren't really any puzzles or riddles. I actually don't like puzzles, because I'm too much of a dumb blonde to do them, but most of the Silent Hill games had them.
It wasn't exactly set in the town of Silent Hill. So...that just kinda sucks. xD
Those are all of the bad sides I can think of, if you have more, say them and give a reason behind why you think it was a bad part of the game.
Upsides:
The characters! I LOVED the characters. Henry, Eileen, Walter (DEFINITELY WALTER). The story for Walter was awesome. He was just an amazing character. And I love serial killers. The characters were very attractive too... Oh, and Jasper. WHO DOESN'T LOVE CHOCOLATE MILK, AMIRITE? XD
The new monsters. Even if a Silent Hill game was bad, there's always one good thing about the game: The monsters. I thought they were pretty awesome. Especially the Twin Victims. Scary, but pure awesomeness.
It was kind of a long game. It keeps you going and into it. It did for me, at least.
With the first four games, they were tied to each other. 1 and 3 were, and 2 and 4 were (a tiny bit). I thought it was very interesting that they continued the story of Walter Sullivan into another game, when you learn about him in an alley on Silent Hill 2.
The Order! You learned A LOT more about The Order. And The Order is a big part of the Silent Hill story.
Now, it's time for you guys to give me YOUR opinions on Silent Hill 4. But you MUST have a reason for your opinion, state why you feel that way, please. I don't want "The game sucked." as your post. "The game sucked because..." followed by a reason, is acceptable.

I liked the game I thought the 'hauntings' were origional and kind of creepy. nobody likes walking into their room and seeing babies attached to the wall crying. Ghosts were a good addition too since there was only a few of those Swords.

ok then, here I go...
I dont hate the game, I just dont like it. Personally I think it's not that tied to other SH's. The "Fear Factor" is definietly there, the creepyness and the music is well done and goes along smoothly. But, the first thing I disliked was the main character. He just seems to be ... out of it, he seems to take the creepy/scary stuff that's happening to him pretty fine. In some points I even tought he was high or something. Apart from that, the gameplay isnt bad, it actually feels ok, but some of the puzzles and "ridiculous" things you have to do in order to advance are just downright unfair. I mean come on, who the hell atually thinks that in order to beat the boss you have to "touch" it with the umbilical cord. Thats like saying that in order to kill a zombie you have to pee on its grave. It just doesnt make any sense. And thats not the only part that makes no sense. Another complain, its not that big of a complain but I think they could have done better, is Eileen, she gets in the way, she thinks she is Rambo and runs to attack an enemy when you can just evade it. I think they shouldve made her movements command base, so you can tell her when to run, when to attack or when to hide etc. I dont have complains about the story, I atually got in to the story,I think it was the only factor that made me want to finish it. Compared to other SH games the story is ok, not good but not bad either. Overall I have more complains than good points about it, in fact the only reason I even bought the game and still have it is because it's a SH game. Oh and the voice acting was good.

 {PKMN Trainer Yakumo wants to battle!}-------------------------------------------- I like the game because of the whole 21 Sacraments thing. I love the concept of killing people to create paradise. Where else would you get that?
Also Walter. He's one of the best characters I've ever seen in this series. I love his background and the belief that room 302 is really his mom.--------------------------------------------  My Pokefarm

Personally, I loved The Room.
Being trapped in a confined space has always scared me, and SH4 only made that fear all the more present. Not to mention the hole...the first time I had to crawl through that thing, I was freaked out. And when the hauntings started, I was uneasy about leaving the "otherworld" to go to my "safe house". Team Silent really outdid the creepy factor, making this game one of the scariest for me. For instance, finding out Walter's corpse was in your room all along was really creepy and a GREAT twist.
The creatures are all amazing (except walter's victim's ghosts...those are annoying) especially the one designed after the twin's that Walter had slain.
A few of the environments were a bit weak, too small for my taste...and the replay of each level is a bit cheap to me.
The inventory maxout was the lowest point, I'd say. Next to the loss of the radio and flashlight.
Really tho, the characters are strongest in this game to me. Henry is so lovable, and I actually FELT bad for him a lot of the time. Eileen is alright, and her AI isn't too bad during companion missions. A lot of people complain that she keeps hitting Walter and Ghosts when their trying to run...but that is easily fixed by UNEQUIPPING EILEEN'S WEAPON.
The plot was good, my only complaint there was that in SH2, it said that Walter murdered 2 people, the twins, and then killed himself in prison. And now in SH4 they say it wasn't him and that the real Walter Sullivan had never died at the prison and that it may have been someone else who committed suicide, or the person who the police arrested was not the real Walter Sullivan. But I guess they had to come up with something to go forward.
I loved the SH2 tie in with James Sunderland's dad, Frank,that was neat.
Honestly, I could go on and on about how this is a great addition to the SH series. xp
