I have not played it to know, though I certainly have not gone out of my way to play the game in spite of it being out for almost four years.
I did play Silent Hill: Origins, however, and did not finish. The gameplay is rotten, and far too dark in interior locations. Darkness can make for very effective atmosphere. It can also simply make even basic navigation a huge pain in the ass. Also, I understand that it's realistic for a character to tire after being forced to run for extended stretches, but it's one of those touches of realism that I always prefer to be sacrificed for the sake of playability.
