Silent Hill 4 - PS2 Game (Retro Fam)

Solid game, good and fun gameplay with some unfortunate tedious aspects foreign to its series predecessors. Remarkably through all the changes still holds the unique Silent Hill quality. Worth purchasing. However, I should note that this game is most likely in a "hate it or love it" scenario. If you are a fan of the genre or series, chances are you'll love it.Cons:- Quest items go into your inventory with the rest of the other items, taking up the very limited space you already have and in some instances forcing the player to return back to the storage box to leave survival supplies in order to carry a quest item for a relatively short duration.- The Megaman effect: In this game, the player will have to repeat situations multiple times with different objectives with little change to the environment.- At times, unclear objectives or lack of explanation on certain key elements/quests.- Simple, uninventive boss sequence.- Some enemies seem out of place for the Silent Hill series and enemy encounters are sometimes crafted in an unoriginal fashion. Example: Increased quantity of enemies rather than increased quality.- Ambience is not used as effectively as it was in the predecessors of the series. Sometimes ambient noises seem misplaced or irrelevant, creating a more sort of Resident Evil "jump out and scare you for the heck of it" theme park ride feel.Pros:+ The new feature of the room the player returns to to fulfill quest objective, heal, and resupply or store ite.
