Actually this is one of the few titles coming out this year that I'm excited to play. I can see why it may not seem interesting to some but as a longtime Silent Hill fan it has my attention. I agree with Blue_Vortex that it will more than likely get a 3/5 but so far I find it more to my tastes than part 4 ever was. I'm not so sure on the entire "cold hell" concept but it definately feels more like 2 and 3 did. However I wish they would've made this its own unique chapter instead of developing it as a retelling of the original story.

As for the creatures, they start out being plain fleshy beings but according to Konami they will evolve through the course of the game to better suit the players personality and play style. Sounds like a good idea to me, besides I'm sure the bosses will prove to be more spectacular. Pluss don't forget that you will have very little in the way of defending yourself and in most cases will be forced to outrun these creatures.

The one caveat I see that this title may dissapoint is that the puzzle elements seem to focus too heavily on physical interaction and not enough on actually being puzzling. Yes I know it's a Wii title and I love being able to virtually interact with onscreen object, but would it hurt you to cause me to pause and think a moment? "I need a key" well good thing it's given to you right around the corner, just be sure you can figure out how to open a wallet.... Come on guys a little difficulty and a lot of innovation is a good combo if you try it.
