They thought Mario 2 was too hard so they took a completely different game and named it Mario for the Western audience. It was definitely not a Mario game. They just shoved Mario on it and went, here it is!
I guess if the future is any thing is "Silent Hill" as long as it is scary and spooky, well ok then. I still think it is a completely different system of game play, but obviously if it can stand on its own then so be it.
Having a game by Ryukishi07 is a good thing. Maybe they could have done it with their own universe instead. They intentionally pulled the western out in favor of Japanese themes. Which is cool, but Silent Hill was heavily inspired by Twin Peaks, and that Japenese/Lynchian stuff was so awesome, its hard to see it pulled off and still called Silent Hill.
Either way, I do think they could have refined the gameplay a bit more.
