Ok so, I was originally going to give this a 4.5 because of some minor issues I had with the game, but I just... couldn't. This game is just too monumental and important to justify giving anything but a 5. Just thinking about the fact that this released before the 2000s blows my mind. I know it was a bit of a later release on the PS1, but still this is an early example of a more atmospheric, cinematic gaming experience.

Also just the fact that I haven't played anything else like this. The tank controls take some getting used to, but they add so much to the feeling of uneasiness. The game is fuckin freaky as hell too, plenty of incredibly memorable scares are here. It's just such an effective experience that really blew my mind in a lot of ways. Apparently Silent Hill 2 is even more groundbreaking, so hell yea I'm looking forward to that.
