silent hill was always about its atmoshpere and to help that it had graphics which were great for its time. I mean part of the silent hill frachise as its graphics along with its messed up plot.
I dont usually judge games on graphics and agree graphics isnt everything. But with silent hill you need the graphics to create the atmosphere, oh and the sounds too :P
i'll still end up getting it if its not total w@nk since ive been following it from the beginning
