This feels like one of those Wii games where the other console ports are better, but this time that isn't the case. Going into this game I did not know much about it besides that it had to do with the original first Silent Hill. I feel like its minimalistic gameplay approach and lack of Silent Hill style environments make this a very forgettable and boring experience. I really liked the Psychology stuff they threw in there before you started each new section, and the end sequence was pretty cool how it all came together at the end.

I don't like what they did with Dahlia, Cybil, or Lisa. They tried to make them have some of their original qualities, but I feel like they missed the mark that made these characters as memorable (Lisa still had one of the biggest impacts when I played the original). The main locations of the original game like the hospital you see for like 5 minutes then on to the next area. Lack of any enemy variety and seems like they just didn't care much.

I do agree with Harry though, when I see Street fighter 6 I also can't help but say "ooooo Cammiee".

-To clarify, I know some of these environments are staples in the Silent Hill series (Hospital, Toluca Mall, Apartments), but I feel they lack the depth, feel, and horror aspects of the original locations and places.
