Which is the best silent hill?

I agree with you there I've played all 4, and SH3 is the scariest so far.
SH4 wasn't scary, only the creepy stuff that happened in the apartment could be scary every once in awhile.
SH2, on the other hand, had the best atmosphere, and a teeny-weeny bit scary every once in awhile. There was a think melancholy hanging over the whole SH2-game, which gives it the best atmosphere.
As a big Silent Hill-fan, I'll just have to say that the monsters have always been the weak part of the game, whereas the enviromental designs and the looks of the game were always the strong part. I want monsters that are intimidating and have a hostile feeling over them. Like Pyramid Head; now THERE was a monster that made me run!
The Silent Hill-series definately have to work on their monster-designs.

I agree 100% with you, Aegrimonis, by the time I'd escaped the appartments I was used to the monsters and barely acknowledged them from then on. But it's just the sounds that get you, the slamming of doors in the Society, the long staircase with the sound getting louder.. all those things make Silent Hill 2 scary. I'm not afraid of the monsters anymore, only if they creep up behind me or something, but Pyramid Head is still one scary dude.
Is it weird that the Labyrinth was the least scariest part for me? Even though I bumped into Pyramid Head but that was just hilarious for me, because he turned around reallyy slowly and it was like 'Umm, bye' and I started to back away and then ran. Also, the Labyrinth was the most interesting part in SH2.
I'm not keen on playing SH4 cause I've heard you don't even go to Silent Hill, but I will probably play SH3 sometime because the story interests me, though I've seen the mirror sequence and was scared just watching that on youtube. Sooooo.. -

If you're a Silent Hill-fan, then you
have
to play Silent Hill 4. It still has a nice Silent Hill-feel to it, and instead of fear and darkness being the dominant work-forces behind the veil, there is insanity and inhumanity, also doing a number on the player. Some of the monsters can be a little bland (watch out for the ghosts!) but Silent Hill were never strong on the monster-parts. But you should still check it out.

For scares, I thought 1 and 3 were the best. For sheer emotional resonance, 2 wins hands-down. 4 was easily my least favorite (more action-oriented and not really for fans of the series, IMO), though it probably had the best story; some of the twists were really clever. All things considered, overall I'd say 2 was the best, followed by 1, then 3, with 4 bringing up the rear. But, to its credit, 4 had those creepy-ass two-headed monsters with the baby faces, and they're damn near worth the price of admission; the first time I saw one it lurched toward me so quickly that I screamed and threw my controller up in the air. My girl didn't let me forget that for months.

Well I've played SH3 now and I can safely say it is the scariest of the entire series. SH2 is like Resident Evil next to SH3. However, in order..
SH2
SH1
SH3
This one is my least favourite so far. That doesn't mean it wasn't a great game though. Also, it scared me a little too much. I'm all for being scared but this game took being scared to a whole new level. -

Of the 1-4 in the series, it goes, for me..
SH2
SH1
SH3
SH4
Silent Hill 2 will always be the best Silent Hill, the music, the story, the intro to pyramid headit was just a fantastic game.
Silent Hill is still great, even with the out-dated graphics. Going place to place, the puzzles, the creatures, the games seemed pretty long too and I also loved the 5 endings, Ilove when a game has multiple endings which is why I like SH.
SH3 was great, my only issues was lack of endings, basically only 2 with the bonus UFO ending. It is still a fantastic game.
SH4 was def the weakest of the 4. Which, isnt even bad as SH4 was still a good game, but I hated how Harry rarely spoke, the endings kind of felt way too simular. It basically felt like 3 endings, the main good one and the one where you (slight spoilers) save Eileen but dont candle the apartment are just near the same minus one different line from Eileen and the apartment being haunted. Eileens death on the radio seemed cheap and the sad thing was the main bad ending, 21 sacraments almost seemed like the most interesting ending. It was the worst ending, even though a lot of people always felt (before SH3 was released) thatHarry dying in the car was the legit ending, In Water of the legit ending of 2, and 3 either or I suppose. Still, I liked SH4 but the other 3 were more of gold to me. -

Its not a rumor. There are several that were recently released and more coming very soon. SH2 remake was…ok, I'd say good but its very different from the PS2 original. Short message was terrible. Ascension I couldn't be bothered to experience but heard it was awful. I'm pretty excited for SH f though, and remaining optimistic about townfall.
Cast In The Name Of God…Ye Not Guilty
