The large number of cut scenes seems a little distracting at first, but once you get used to them, they add a lot of depth to the game.
-
The bizarre levels and challenging puzzles remain engrossing even when you start asking the never-answered question, “What’s the point?”
-
For real, genuine scares, this does not disappoint.

A damned scary game, and it's one of the better survival horror titles out there because of that. It's good to see its designers taking risks and experimenting with the formula. This time, however, it's kind of a misfire. It's by no means a failure, but it's not a success, either.
-
But, if you are looking to partake in a definitive step forward for the survival horror genre…I’m afraid that Silent Hill 4 does not take it.

Edge MagazineLook at it one way, and it's a choking journey with unprecedented attention to unease and psychological horror, a game framed with unparalleled sophistication. From another angle, it's just a clunky PSone throwback, with all the design wit of a dodo. [Aug 2004, p.92]
-
Fans of the series will have plenty to be happy about, but you can’t help feeling you’ve been here and done that in the previous games. That’s the real horror here.
