As a nascent example of videogames becoming more filmic in presentation and design Silent Hill is at least interesting. If the goal here was horror, then I think it hits the mark. The direction is probably its strongest point, but just aesthetically and maybe even narratively it's great. So, if you're looking for a horror experience, it should satisfy, but as a game, it's quite compromised—gameplay is often shallow or simply not fun.
