Trivia
When Alex has a brief conversation with Dr. Fitch in "Hell's Descent", the weird sounds in the background are from a scene in Stephen King's film It (1990), directed by Tommy Lee Wallace.

Goofs
Many of the human enemies Alex faces are able to take more than one gun shot to the face.

Quotes
Deputy Wheeler: [Siam jumps in and attacks Alex and Wheeler]
[Wheeler looks at Alex]
Deputy Wheeler: Alright, You cuff him, I'll read him his rights.

Alternate versions
Both German and Australian versions are similarly censored for violence in order to secure USK-18 and MA15+ ratings respectively. The changes are: Finishing moves towards human opponents are no longer possible and some cutscenes are edited to be less bloody/gory.

Silent Hill? ..... Not quite

As an avid fan of the Silent Hill series, I understandably, had this pre-ordered way back 2 months ago. I received it last week and completed it 2 days ago. That's a miserly 12 hours in all! So, how do I rate this in comparison to the others?? Quite frankly, I don't. It does not come anywhere near S.H 2, 3 and yes, even 4 (which I really enjoyed). All fans of Silent Hill know the formula -it's that oppressive, dark, dense, anxious build up. Claustrophobic and psychological right the way to the end. These elements are synonymous to Silent Hill and were severely lacking in this game. It borrows so heavily from the film and has a Resident Evil feel about it, that doesn't work. The plot, length, atmosphere, quality and overall feel of this game was quite frankly nothing more than an American travesty of something that was unique and brilliant. It is a passable RPG at best. A Silent Hill game? I think not.
