2 STARS: I LIKED A COUPLE THINGS
Playing it alongside Resident Evil, both for the first time, this was definitely more to my tastes.
Pretty cool how they made a fully 3D town, but as a spooky setting for the player to explore, it doesn't compare to the RE mansion. Even though I got lost in there way more, you can't deny the design and intended pacing of the mansion.
Soundtrack is incredible, obviously unique for a game even today. I didn't care for the opening movie track but everything in the "other world" was kickass.
Sounds like the good Silent Hill games are pretty distinct, so I would recommend this first game if you intend to look into the series. You might have more fun without one, but keep a guide nearby just in case.
