Developer WayForward has taken the Silent Hill series in a new direction. Instead of developing a third-person puzzle game that replicates the previous games released on Sony’s console systems, they have created a isometric action-RPG that retains the puzzle elements that we’re all familiar with.
The game immediately begins with a cinema setting the tone for the entire story. After answering the doorbell of your apartment, you are delivered a package from Silent Hill by an eccentric-looking individual dressed as a mailman. Before leaving, the strange mailman, despite being a stranger, wishes you a ,’Happy Birthday’.
The sirens are sounding again, beckoning you back to the foggy ghost town as we rank all the Silent Hill games, from the chilling classics to the misguided missteps.
I mostly disagree with Downpour's position. Yeah, the game is not amazing by any stretch of the imagination but is much better than the HD Collection and Homecoming. The main issue is the performance, but that was mitigated by the patches, especially on the PS3. Personally, I put it a little behind Origins and The Room.
Having Restless Dreams as a different entry from Silent Hill 2 is also a choice.
Normally, we would not consider it a different game (Restless Dreams), but since it had a very different critical reception and had new content, it was allowed. As for Downpour, I would agree, but since that one is subjective, we let him make his case for the placement.
silent hill 2 is definitely the best one out of those.
for me personally, the whole ritual/cult stuff was always so weird to me in all the other games.
No disrespect but I put SH2 over 1. 1 is fantastic, but 2 took it all up a level.

The Silent Hill series has been around for a long time, and there have been nine main releases since its inception. It's time to rank all of them from worst to best.
The announcement of Metal Gear Survive is just another step on Konami's long, long path in screwing up their own videogames.
Honestly, I'd add Lords of Shadow 2 to the list. That was a huge disappointment.
wow a perfect score.
I would rate it 7/10. Is not a bad game at all, but it is a "strange" silent hill game.
Great game, I hope more people gets into it.
Wow, perfect score! I downloaded the demo and was very impressed. Will buy it sometime, but too many games to play right now
