Whilst I love this game I don't think it quite recaptures the feeling of the original, but also doesn't do enough to stand itself up on it's own merits. Nevertheless, the best way of describing this game is 'Silent Hill 2 does Silent Hill 1'. The story of this game meshes very well with the original and heather is an interesting new kind of protaganist with plenty of personality. This, like Origins, gives you a lot of reasons to replay it, but this game feels like it's about half the length that it is, mostly because a lot of the game is kinda forgettable. This game does improve on combat with more weapon variety and contains some of the best writing and characters in the series.
