Even more terrible sales figures for Nintendo

The 3rd shows potential for great immersion, but I doubt it or any sequel could freak me out as much as the first game. An experience that good can only be experienced once. Playing a new game expecting that would only ruin the element of surprise and disturbance.

This is assuming they take it in the same general direction, which it looks like they are.

I actually think Silent Hill 2 is superior to Silent Hill 1. Not because it's scarier (it's not, really), but the storyline is FAR superior (it freaks you out in completely different ways than the first, and what happens in room 312 of the Lakeview hotel is probably one of the most powerful and unexpected things I've ever seen in a videogame ever!), and the endings are factored on more than just two events. Practically everything you do factors into what ending you'll get. The only problem is that the fear level is lowered because the monsters really don't go out of their way to kill you... unless you play Hard Mode. You WILL fear everything in Hard Mode (I suggest doing Hard Mode on your first try, the experience is definitely better).
