The story and concept is great, transcending that of normal games. However, similar to the first Silent Hill, it is extremely repetitive and every new location does not add anything new to the table or experience, save for more interesting enemies and a different view. The gameplay and everything else remain the same, almost to the point of stagnation. Needless to say, the "Born From a Wish" sub-scenario is one of the most redundant extra gameplays ever created. I think this whole thing would have worked much better as a film or series rather than a game.
