Heavy Rain becuase Silent Hill was good but way weak next to Silent Hill 2 and while different a little too close to the plot of Silent Hill which I've clearly already played, plus the combat (or running away) while good in it's use of the Wiimote felt a little lame to me and not properly 'Silent Hill' enough.
For me Silent Hill peaked with 2, was okay in 3, better than given credit for in 4 then crashed afterwards although Shattered Memories is better than the recent PS3/360 outing.
Heavy Rain I found much more intense by comparison (to be fair having played all the Silent Hill games I probably suffer from overexposure to that franchise with HR obviously feeling fresh and original). Also, as a parent the very real tension from the premise in HR obviously felt more immediate and realistic than a fantasy involving monsters, etc. - much as I clearly like that fantasy, particularly if it's called Silent Hill 2.
TBH, I want a great HD Silent Hill on PS3 that emulates the mood of SH2 with amazing, hi-res visuals for the otherworld and the monsters and Konami screwed the pooch on that, and I'm not forgiving them just because another developer did a decent job on Wii with the franchise.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
