Silent Hill 4: The Room

"As a spin-off, standalone game it's not a bad one, but to judge it alongside the other Silent Hill games it pales by comparison. Fans of the series won't be devastated by The Room, but they'll definitely wonder what went wrong."

"It almost seems as if Konami wanted to get another Silent Hill game out as fast as they could. They tried new ideas that weren’t fully polished and still haven’t tweaked the control and camera to a decent level."

"The Room retains the dark, disturbing soul that is the unsettling center of the Silent Hill experience."

"...as a survival-horror game, it's a solid fight-fest that newbies and diehard fans will enjoy. Or at least some will. Those on the fence won't be attracted, and those hoping for something new are due to experience a decent, but not great, addition to the series."
