I got it for my birthday and just started playing it today and I'm liking it so far. I was talking to my friend Jeremy about it and he was saying it doesn't QUITE feel like Silent Hill, and I know what he means. The ambiance is just a bit off. But I still am enjoying it.
Now this could come from the fact that I'm a die hard Silent Hill fan. I've played all of the games multiple times (with the exception of The Room. For some reason I could only barely get through it once) and I saw the movie many times in the theater. I'm not about to go off saying it was the best movie ever made, but darn it, it had the music and the nurses and freaking Pyramid Head. I was in love.
Apparently PH is in this game as well and I'm torn. One part of me thinks "But no, Pyramid Head is James' villain because he comes from his violent and disturbing subconscious." And the other part of me is just so excited to see PH again that I don't really care!
So yeah, anyone else played it yet? I'll ask for no huge spoilers because I'm really just at the beginning and like to be surprised by the twists and turns.
I also have some theories about Alex and why his family seems so disconnected from him. I'ma wait and see if those pan out to be true.
And while it's stepping out of the norm to have a main character that actually has combat training and knows better how to defend himself (all the other characters are just normal Joes and running away is usually the best defense on many occasions), it's nice to feel like you have a little more power and control of the situation. Not that I'm going to assume I'd even leave the slightest dent in PH when I go up against him, but you know.
Okay, enough of that.
