Do not waste your money buying this game. The game ends up being very boring and dull. All you do is run around in circles half the time and getting nowhere but fustrated. And I know there were a couple of times when a creepy critter would come out of the ceiling and make me jump a little, but that's certainly not worth what this game costs.
A bad forgery of Resident evil

Iv'e had Silent Hill for about a year and beaten the game and obtained all of the endings,but this game just plain sucks! The controlls are horribal and you have to use a flash light for most of the game! Even when youre not in total darkness you can only see about 6 feet in front you! Now I'm a huge Resident evil series fan and I would definitly choose resident evil over this game. One of the most disturbing thing about this bad excuse for a game is that they have nude zombie children that stab you with kitchen nives what the hell is up with that? If you want a good horror game get ant of the residnent evil series EXCEPT THE FIRST ONE.
What is this?

I wish that I could ask Konami, "Why did you waste so much time to make a game that is not scary at all?" The graphics in this game don't even look scary and make the game look terrible. I think that Konami was just trying to beat Capcom's magnificent Resident Evil series, but did a terrible job of it.
Ultra lame!

I love video games, especially when they're creepy...but this game just bites. The game play is lame, the characterization is less than interesting and all you do is run around for ever and nothing interesting happens. I say if you want a good game...don't buy this one.

Konami is just tring to make money by making a Resident Evil-style game, and they failed miseribly. The Controls really need work and you can only see like5 feet in front of you. The worst part is it is more confusing than scary.
Trying to steal the spotlight.

I own both resident evil one and two and love them both. I tried this game due to its resemblence and realized it was nothing more. I was a cheap rip off, boring and repetitive. No surprises, no challenges. Possiply one of the worst games I have played
A weak version of Resident Evil

I was rather excited to purchase this game, even though everyone I spoke to warned me against it. I should have listened. This is a poorly executed version of Resident Evil with none of the careful prep or imagination. I would rather dig out my eyes with a dull spoon than have to watch any of the video in this one again. Some of it was interesting. Most of it was confusing at best--all of it was inane. I loved all of the rooms without any possibility of ever entering them. You don't find that in Resident Evil. If they have a room in Res Evil, there is a reason for it. I wouldn't wish this game on my worst enemy. What a waste of my time.
Better than RE series......PLEASE!

I am a huge fan of the RE series, Tomb Raider, etc. Many people compared this game to those other games, but there is no comparison. What is all the talk about this game being SO scary? There were a couple of scenes that made me flinch ever so slightly but nothing that made me jump and gasp like RE does. Putting something in fog and darkness DOES NOT automatically make it scary! Some of the puzzles were somewhat interesting to solve but did not require a lot of time and effort to do so. I can only say that this game is MEDIOCRE at best. For those of you who found this game SO scary I suggest you play Spyro or the Crash series.
It's not Resident Evil that's for sure!

I read all the reviews and it is a cheap take off of Resident Evil. I did like the settings however in the fog and snow and using the flashlight, I think that added to the suspense but resident evil 2 and the nememsis does scare the hell out of you at times where silent hill never did. Once you play resident evil its hard to surpass that quality in graphics and gameplay.
the ending sucks!
