"If you're desperate for a horror game, pick up Silent Hill. Otherwise, wait for Capcom's N64 version of Resident Evil 2, as well as PlayStation titles Resident Evil Nemesis and Dino Crisis." Review by Tom Allen with score.

Consumer reviews.

"Silent Hill is definitely the scariest monster in town until we see what Resident Evil 3 for the Dreamcast looks like... Add to that a more intelligent, more disturbing plot than its B-movie predecessors, and this is definitely not a game for little kids." Review by Baldric.

Rated 8.2/10 by Joe Fielder. "Konami's first entry in the horror genre - while not quite up to the mark of Capcom's Resident Evil 2 - is a great beginning." [Subscription required.] Reader reviews and 43 screen shots.

"Opting for a much more cerebral approach to the horror genre, Silent Hill prefers to patiently build up tension and suspense by teasing the gamer's imagination with grotesque images and genuinely creepy effects." Review by Francesca Reyes. Includes movies and images.

"Silent Hill builds a town (and another town) that I absolutely did not want to be in, but was unable to leave -- except by finishing the game. Take that as you will. I recommend it."
