* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: There is still a tremendous back-and-forth argument on the correct way to interpret James. Many see him as a heartbreaking sympathetic man put into a terrible situation and [[spoiler:ended his wife's suffering]] as a result, while others see him as a selfish misogynist who [[spoiler:murdered his wife to move on with his life]]. However, the fans aren't the only ones, as James himself is unsure of which is really true.

* ThatOneBoss: [[spoiler:Eddie]] can be really annoying compared to the other bosses. Mostly due to using a gun.

Added DiffLines:

* HellIsThatNoise: Silent Hill isn't totally silent: various ambient sounds throughout the game- scraping, moaning, footsteps, whispers- add to the paranoid ambiance of the game. The sound of Eddie vomiting into a toilet might count as well, if only because it sounds so realistically gross that even those with strong stomachs might feel like barfing themselves.


Added DiffLines:

* NothingIsScarier: At the start of the game, James spends the first fifteen or so minutes walking down a fog-shrouded path along the edge of a cliff. There are no monsters or any obstacles of any sort, and barely any sounds other than your footsteps (and those [[BeingWatched mysterious footsteps]] coming from behind you... [[ParanoiaFuel or are they?]])

** From a gameplay standpoint, though, it might be good to pay attention. [[Spoiler: the correct answers are the code to open a chest in one of the storage rooms of the hospital with a nice amount of supplies. Get the answers wrong and you get a face full of acid.]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The radio "game show" that takes place in the hospital elevator. Maria simply asks "What was ''that''?" and nothing more is made of it.
* FreudWasRight[=/=]FauxSymbolism: When and where these tropes get applied depends on your AlternativeCharacterInterpretation of choice.

** Pyramid Head isn't really raping you if you let him. [[RapeIsLove And you know you would.]]
** If you hear the jokes before playing the game, it might sound like he's just supposed to be an awesome, deadly character, rape being video game slang for "[[CurbStompBattle very one-sided kill]]". [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel Not the case]].

* YourMileageMayVary: Not on NauseaFuel: Meeting Eddie while he barfs incessantly into the toilet. You don't see anything, but the sound effects are more than enough.
* PortingDisaster: While not exactly a disaster, the PC version has a few issues. Music skipping can be solved with a fan patch, and
the game itself, but even isn't designed to this day, there is still a tremendous back run on multi-core machines so you get voice de-synching and forth other issues if you don't manually set it to run on the correct way to interpret James. Many see him as a heartbreaking sympathetic man put into a terrible situation, and [[spoiler: ended his wife's suffering as a result]], while others see him as a selfish misogynist who [[spoiler: murdered his wife to move on with his life]].
