By Chris Hudak

The road to Paradise is closed for repairs.

Due to pesky regional release schedules, our European friends played Silent

Hill 3 weeks before we did. Europeans like to vent about things and,

  • A seriously creepy mind job
  • Excellent production values
  • Bonus soundtrack disk
  • Improved combat
  • In-engine cinematics keep it immersive
  • Very familiar game mechanics
  • No new gameplay dynamics
  • Time keeps running during some puzzles
  • Some camera/alignment issues
