I still have yet to play it, but there is a definitely a split amongst my friends about how they feel about the game. I've only played 1, 2, most of 3, and Shattered Memories. I'm sure I'll like 4 as its own thing, but I won't see it as Silent Hill probably.

Also, people complain about Shattered Memories? I thought it was pretty great personally. I mean, it's different, but it has to be the best thing to come out of when the Americans took over developing Silent Hill. Well, that and the joke ending in Downpour. That ending was magnificent.
