   If you like survival horror games and you have a Wii, buy this immediately. Buy a second copy in case the first one wears out. If you don't have a Wii, hire one to play this. It's that good. Just don't play it alone - it's that good. Read more

   Immersive, scary and completely enjoyable experience. This is an excellent title and I heartily encourage anyone who has played previous Silent Hill games to give this a go.
