Is Silent Hill 4 worth it?

There needed to be more Swords of Obidience.

^I would have wanted to be able to stick the Sword of Obedience on Walter!

Just to see what happens.

Because I riddled him with Silver Bullets and nothing special happened

That is a shame. What are the silver bullets actually good for? Besides warewolves of course.

One-shotting the Victim ghosts from the second half.

And two...?

No no, "one-shotting" as in downing with one shot.

I see. I read about them on the Silent Hill Wiki and was shocked to find that there are only two in the game. Which explains why I only found one.

I just use the silver bullets for beat the 4 main ghosts (Cynthia, Jasper, Andrew and Richard) and pin them with the swords, in this way they won't bug me in the other worlds... This can be tricky with Andrew and Richard but it's worthy...
The silver bullets just work with the ghost victims so don't waste them with the monsters or Walter...

There are enough for the main ghosts. In fact, you actually end up with one sword left over. Unfortunatly by then there aren't anymore to pin down. =( Unless you mean for ALL the ghosts. If so I totally agree.

Yes there are. Are you forgetting about Garland? Dammit, this guy was the first one that I used the Sword on (happened on my 1st playtrough)

^ The dude I mentioned earlier? I never get to pin his ass down. I always make sure that I get the main ones down first. By the time I get Richard, Steve is around, but I don't have a sword with me until I get to the apartment world then he's gone. =/

I wish that I could play through again knowing where every ghosts is now but my copy no longer works.

It's worth at least a single play through. Not everything works for everyone though.

You say that it's short but then I kinda feel abit rubbish now because it too me nearly 12 hours to complete... ha!

Silent Hill 3 was very quick for me though

Post by **DirtyNorris** » 23 Oct 2009

I've almost completed it, and I have to say this is my favourite Silent Hill yet. The environments are genuinely beautiful, the story is the video-game equivalent of unputdownable, and the atmosphere is more claustrophobic than ever. The gameplay isn't as bad as I was expecting it to be, and I have only died once so far. In short, I love this game.

UPDATE-Have just completed, and still hold my view. It can be a little tedious occasionally, and the beauty of the levels starts to wear thin a little when you visit them for the second time, and the ghosts can f**k the f**k off, but it hasn't caused me more trouble than any other Silent Hill game.

I think this game is cool because it kinda slid under the radar compared to the first few and in time I think will become more of a cult classic

I think I like the story of this one the most... I also like the story of the second game too.

Honestly I've found this game to be absolutely and relentlessly annoying. It's like they've taken the formula for a great Silent Hill game, then just added a whole bunch of annoying shit in. Three things would make this game up to at least SH3's standard:

1. Much less ghosts
2. NO wallmen (fuck those fuckers. I do LOVE the sound they make though)
3. bigger/better inventory system. Yeah I absolutely love going back to my apartment because I can't drop this health drink I accidentally picked up.

Definitely worth playing through if you're a Silent Hill fan, but it's no SH2.

Those three things are really terrible yes (although the inventory stuff never bothered me). I'd put "not visiting the worlds twice" on 3. That was kinda lame. And the wallmen made me mad and agressive.
Still, the game is very artistic and has a good story.

I'd replace that for "Visit each world 2times,but the 2nd time MUST be the Alternate version"

That, I would probably find tolerable.
