Is it just me or do you also think the first Silent Hill is the best in the series?

Why? Simply because it invented a new kind of fear. The sequels didnt offer anything new despite graphic updates. I hope that Konami goes back to the roots and trys to generate some new athmosphere for Silent Hill 5.

I thought the first Silent Hill was the best as well, because it paved the way for other psychological horror games. Plus, I thought it had the best story and characters.

Silent Hill 4 was my least favorable one because of all the backtracking and non-sense involved. Couple that with the fact that it wasn't originally intended to be part of the series.

Never played silent hill before whats it like

i think the original Silent Hill was the best. It set the tone for the whole series and the whole genre as well.

Buy it Silent Hill offers a completley different kind of fear than the Resident Evil games. While most RE games focused on shock effects (in the past at least), Silent Hill always had that creepy atmosphere throughout the whole game. Psychological fear, the fog, the radio, darkness, torch etc.

You should try it, I suggest you play SH2 first, since you might get a shock when you play the original Silent Hill (released 1999 on PS1) now. But if you dont mind old graphics go for the original.

Original Silent Hill is one of the best survival horror games ever made .

I don´t know why but every time I watch The Birds I must think of Silent Hill ...

thanks for that dama. Im gunna go rent the original silent hill out from my local video centre because of u guys.

Ah, finally people that can appreciate a nicely aged videogame. :P But seriously, it's nice to know people out there really appreciate the first of the SH series. Most of my friends are dead set against even playing SH1 due to the major advances in Graphics and general gameplay that have been made to the other iterations. I will admit SH1 is pretty hard to look at sometimes, but it's still the best SH yet.

i dont think graphics are what make a game good. it's a nice added touch nonetheless but graphics aren't everything. if the game just looks good then whats the point of the graphics being good. i thought SH1 had an amazing atmosphere and storyline. i'd play it over the other three just because of that.
