CheatCC says - Silent Hill: Downpour has the potential to be one of two things. It could either be a grand return to the old school horror of Silent Hill's past, or a phenomenal disappointment that could very well be the final nail in the series' coffin. Silent Hill has been one of the most iconic horror franchises ever since it kicked off back in 1998. However, these thirteen years have made gamers harder and harder to scare, and the Silent Hill franchise has meanwhile been slowly dropping in quality. Ever since Silent Hill 2, we haven't really been getting terrified by this shady mountain town like we used to. While there were rare and innovative exceptions to the rule, like Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, most of the Silent Hill games to date have paled in comparison to the ones released back when textures were blurry and character models were blocky. Now, the Silent Hill formula is so far removed from that of the original games that development has been put in the hands of Vatra Games in the Czech Republic. Can this fresh new outlook on the franchise be just what it needs to get back on its horrifying skin-flayed feet?

A breakdown of the best Silent Hill Characters that inspired and frightened gamers.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.
Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.
Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.
silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.
for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.
If the door things is true then huge win for Vatra Games.You don't know how much I was cursing Konami for having stupid doors that you couldn't do anything with.Looks good and going.
