My review is about my favorite horror game...Silent Hill 4:The Room (for PS2)!!!!

Another masterwork of horror art!

The Silent Hill series has rarely been about gameplay. With its twisted brand psychological terror,grotesque imagery and mysterious cast of characters,every single chapter in the threestrong series has gone to inspire more than its share of plot analyses. But gameplay has always remained fairly pedestrian-shoot this,run here,solve this puzzle. Aside from the series'amazingly scare factore,it's always been more adventure,less action. Until now,at leastilent Hill 4:The Room seeks to change up this balance with the series'most action-focused challenge yet.

You are Henry Townsend,a regular guy with a regular life-until the nightmares start. From this point on,you're trapped inside your small apartement with no exit,except for a strange portal that suddenly opens in the bathroom wall. Soon,you're tossed headfirst into a series of grisly encounters with your real-world neighbors in a set of alternate world scenarios,each with their own logic and purpose.

And the feeling of claustrophobia and helplessness works wonderfully. In trus SH fashion,you'll become immersed in piercing together clues,peeping in at your neighbors,and wondering what that strange stain is on your living room wall. And the fact that the apartement segments take place in first person mode(jouneys through the portal are still third person,though)makes the paranoid vulnerability almost palpable.

Physically,you're stronger and more combat-ready than the previous SH protagonists,which enables you to juke an enemy's attack and power-up your weapon swing for heavy damage. Good thing,too;Silent Hill 4:The Room is definitely more action and combat-oriented than previous entries in the spooky series.

Does it work? Yes,but this focus on combat isn't always helped by the game's dodgy targeting and suspect collision detection. If you're used to rationing out the game's spare health drinks and ammo,you're golden-but after awhile,SH4 throws in another twist in the form of a traveling compagnion,who adds to the plot but often serves to make gameplay cumbersome and frustrating.

For every time SH4 falters,it redeems itself by trowing series fans a bone with countless references to the Silent Hill mythos("Was that...? Could it be?"). Plus,graphics and sountrack remain among the PS2's finest. And for a series that remains so near and dear to so many fans' hearts,that's more than enough reason to relish SH4's hits,as well as endure its misses.

FINAL JUDGEMENT:

GRAPHICS:5/5
SOUND:5/5
CONTROLS:4/5
GAMEPLAY:4.5/5

OVERALL:92.5%

A TRUE HORROR MASTERPIECE!!!!

P.S: If anyone wants to talk about Silent Hill or anything else PLEASE private message me.

Thanks!!!
