About This Game
Silent Hill is Konami's 1999 survival-horror game for the PlayStation. A father searches a fog-shrouded ghost town for his missing daughter, solving puzzles and surviving demonic creatures with scarce ammunition. Its atmosphere and reactive soundtrack set it apart from its peers.

Good
Review Verdict
Silent Hill
Konami's horror nails mood and smart, ammo-starved combat, but stiff Resident Evil-style control keeps it from greatness.
