Okay, I got to the last boss last night. And I was right the first time. The game is too short. For some reason, the review I read said that it takes about 8 hours to beat the game .... but this is not true at all. It took me a total of 4 hours 17 minutes. Sure, it's fun .... and I actually saw the creepiest thing I have ever seen in a video game thanks to SH 4, but the puzzles are too easy, the monsters (except for the ghosts) are a breeze to beat up once you've mastered the dodge maneuver, and the overall game simply lacks the scares and tensions I felt while playing the earlier titles in the series. But, the story is more straightforward and compact, which really makes you feel like you're playing an original, interactive horror movie rather than a video game. This is the best thing about the game.

I'm not sorry I bought it ... I just expected too much, I suppose. And this is the last Silent Hill title until PS3 and X-Box 2 come out! Whaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!
