Silent Hill is probably the creepiest game series available, and SH4 is probably the finest.
Graphics:
The graphics are nice, real clean textures, nice shadows, and great looking models. Everything in the game is clean, but it requires Pixel Shader 2.0, which I realy dont see why - we could have lived without shiny pictures in Henry Townshend apartment. The models are awesome, nicely done, and pretty creepy. The textures are crisp, but some pretty blurry, the apartment for example. Overall, it deserves an 8.
Gameplay:
The gameplay is near perfection. Apparently, you wake up one day stuck in your apartment. You have to go through a hole in your washroom, over and over (the repetive part), and solve puzzles. The puzzles are fairly easy, and the fighting isn't very hard. The most annoying part are those damn ghosts! You can never kill them, and they're incredibly annoying! Overall, it deserves a 9.
Sound:
The sound is extremely well done. The ambient sounds are pretty creepy, and there is very little music. The sound is well done for most of the game, but the yelling of those annoying dog-things on the ground will really anger some people. Overall, I give it a 9.
Value:
Amazing, amazing, amazing! This game is awesome! Creepy, fun, and very fun! Silent Hill beats the Resident Evil series hands down! You have to play this yourself to truly enjoy it. Overall, I give it a 10.
