The song itself is quite good, but it just didn't feel like Silent Hill. The first part is the only part taken from Silent Hill 1, and it's one of those songs that you almost don't remember. It took me a few days to pick out which song it was, because I honestly couldn't tell. The second segment just lacked in the way the style was. They tried to to rock, but there wasn't enough bass, not enough harmonization, and the part originially played by the violin in the original song is taken up by the guitar, the SAME guitar doing the rest of the melody, which just sounds screwed up. The last part has no bass at all, and the very high pitched guitar doing the back melody is not SH sounding at all, and doesn't provide enough structure to back up the really loud guitar it will be accompanying. (SP?) It seemed rather thrown together without any fine tuning, or as if the people making it had NEVER played any Silent Hill games. They essentially took the original songs, removed parts, distorted the sound, and added static, which I found REALLY annoying. When I want to hear music, I have a few gigs of it on my computer, but when I want static, I've got a radio in my room I can listen to anytime. The static-like stuff going on in "Act3 - Search for Cheryl" Is quite good. In fact, it's still one of my favorite remixes and it's on all of my haloween mixes that gets requested from me. This remix is just... Not good enough to keep my attention. 2 out of 5.

Personally, I think it's WONDERFUL. It has to be one of the best orchestrated remixes i've heard in a while. Here are the few flaws this song has: At the beginning, the flutes seem slightly flat the second they start each note and are instantly back on key just after that split second. At about 1:25, the french horn part sounds sort of out of place. That's all of the flaws. I REALLY liked the piano at the end though. Overall, I think this is a wonderful remix and is worth downloading.
