Ranking the Silent Hill games is always an invitation to a storm of nerd rage. That said, I think that the first Silent Hill was probably one of the best in terms of gameplay. This is just my opinion mind you, but I feel that that 2 was too easy, and that later games just got a bit too extreme. I mean, up until near the end of the game, Silent Hill 2's non-boss monsters all died to about 3 or 4 handgun bullets, with plenty of ammo pickups to resupply you. Also, nearly all of the monsters in Silent Hill 2 were zombie-like creatures of some kind. While Silent Hill 2 had the best story in my opinion, it had some of the worst gameplay, as you can't really be scared of the monsters when they're just so easy to kill. Silent Hill 1 actually had a decent variety of monsters, some of whom took a bit of effort to kill. Meanwhile, Silent Hills 3 and later just got a bit over the top in my opinion, with submachine guns and such, that totally defeated the purpose of being a lone average joe stuck in a terrible situation, which is what the earlier games were all about.
