Silent Hill 4: The Room

Silent Hill 4: The Room is the fourth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series. The game is similar to the past entries in terms of atmosphere, never letting the player know what's behind the next corner or down the street. Aside from the traditional third-person-view, there is now a first-person mode which is used to control the main character when he is in his apartment. Objects that can be interacted with are highlighted by eyeball icons. The previous games in the series have mostly been about exploring the town and solving puzzles, but this installment has much more combat involved. There are more enemies in a given area, spread in cramped spaces. The main character mostly uses a standard Silent Hill arsenal of weapons, such as the steel pipe, pistol and a golf club.

synopsis

Graphic violence includes a scene in which a man is set on fire, crying out in pain as his skin chars, and another scene in which a man is bound to a chair and electrocuted, smoking and convulsing as he bleeds from his eyes and nose. Less graphic violence includes the player's character fighting against attacking creatures and supernatural enemies. There is sight of blood.
