I eventually bought the game in 2006 from a DVD rack at a gas station for around four dollars, and I initially hated it. I still had my PlayStation 2, but I barely had time to play it, let alone the money to buy new games. Silent Hill 4 released during a time in my life where I was dirt poor, working at a CVS in New Jersey for six dollars an hour.

Aside from the obvious fact that Team Silent concluded their series after four games and not three, Silent Hill 4 is the series' strangest and most interesting game, even if it's the least fun to play. But ignoring Silent Hill 4 entirely would be a mistake. Silent Hill 3 concluded with the series seemingly wrapped up, though it remained ambiguous as to whether or not the town itself would remain cursed after its ending. Series fans that dislike the fourth entry often refer to Team Silent's games as a trilogy. Every element of the previous three titles was overhauled, and although it retains the series' signature oppressive atmosphere, Silent Hill 4 otherwise plays like a standalone entry, complete with a story that calls back to previous games, but doesn't rely on them to move its plot forward. Silent Hill 4 marks the series' biggest deviation, even among the American games (we don't talk about Book of Memories here), and only a small portion of its setting takes place in the town of Silent Hill.

It isn't hard to see where all of this speculation came from, though.
