The Silent Hill series has been outstanding - the scariest games on the PS2 and then they come out with Silent Hill 4.
What a load of codswallop! Great graphics in general (although the main character is not very realistic), great sound effects, good voice acting, etc, etc, blah, blah, blah BUT no atmosiphere, bad story line, very bad game planning (rated as 'innovative') that repeats itself because they ran out of ideas - aaaarggghhhh! What are they like?! Almost a bad a follow up as Devil May Cry 2 (I nearly went to sleep just trying to play that game after Devil May Cry, one of the best action arcade games of it's type IMHO).
Rant, rant, mumble, mumble. At least Onimusha hasn't failed me yet with it's excellent games 1, 2 and 3!
