"In Silent Hill 4, the horror hits home - right in your own room," said Wilson Cheng, product manager at Konami Digital Entertainment - America. "By transforming a would-be sanctuary into an unpredictable and inescapable nightmare, players will find themselves in uncharted territory as they explore a nightmarish alternate reality to unravel a truly unnerving mystery."Assuming the role of Henry, you set off on a fast-paced and highly captivating journey into the depths of darkness, filled with a cast of disturbing characters and monsters. With Henry's apartment functioning as a home base, you will transition between a 1st person real world perspective and a horrifying alternate reality in a 3rd person view. Further enhancing the action, you can build up your arsenal of weapons in order to battle a number of horrifying enemies who will attack from around any corner or even through any wall. For the first time in the Silent Hillseries, you can execute more powerful blows when fighting with hand-to-hand combat weapons by activating a new power gauge. You will also meet numerous people throughout the game, including Eileen Galvin, Henry's next-door neighbor, who will help Henry through this morbid adventure. You will be able to equip Eileen with special weapons to help fend off deadly creatures.
