Summary: One of the best games of Silent Hill
Review: This game truly rocks!!. I love the game play which is smooth and you can use the analog..for the first time in Silent Hill history...no more sloppy. This game has killer 3D graphics and in my view its better than the first and i think in my view too, its better than Silent Hill 3 to be honest (very sorry if anybody disagrees; dont believe me!..try playing both side by side and you'll see the differance between the two; graphic wise and playing wise). Anyways, this game should be with your PS2 game shelf..its that good!. Worth the time and the money.

Summary: Greatest Game Ever.
Review: this was quite possibly the best horror game ever made. SH2 has some of the greatest graphics ive ever seen, except for SH3...the effects the noises and characters have on you are stunning, and the creatures startlingly real. Pyramid Head provides the greatest entertainment, since he wears a doctor's trench, stained brown and red (O_o), wearing steel toed boots, white gloves, and carries around a great knife (or a spear, "pokey stick" as my friend and i like to call it!) But probably the most interesting thing i find about Pyramid Head is...well, his head....heh heh. A giant red steel pyramid just plopped up on there. You might even go as far as saying that he's sexy...if you want to see for yourself, ...

Summary: In my restless dreams I see that town...
Review: You remember that joke in the Simpsons, "the answer to all three is fried green tomatoes" well Silent Hill 2 is my favourite, everything. Its my favourite game/movie/book/whatever. Its my best storytelling experience I guess, the greatest piece of horror fiction and interactive fiction of my lifetime. But its only a game I hear you cry. WRONG! THATS WRONG! Silent Hill 2 is experienced rather then played. This "game"(its more of a participatory quest really) made me scream out loud, not in fear exactly just in emotional overload. This is a rare work of art that is guaranteed to provoke an emotional and an intellectual response. It is one of a kind in the world of video games with its adult human drama and richly drawn complex characters. Most games are just "the martians are invading so just blow up generators A B and C". To me Silent Hill 2 represents the future of entertainment. A fully immersive artificial world peopled with real 3D individuals, a game that adroitly weaves and fuses the interactive gameplay elements with pure cinematic art in the form of second to none cutscenes. I could go on and on about this game but let me just say I've been playing video games for years I've played all the greats FF7 Metal Gear Solid Deus Ex etc and SH2 beats their ass.Tomb Raider has a wise cracking big boobed bond clone whereas Silent Hill 2s protagonist James is a man with levels, no two players will agree on how they percieve James throughout the course of the game, is he a innocent victim of more powerful forces or a detestable and cowardly villain. This sort of ambiguity is foreign to the usually rudimentarily plotted world of computer games. Like all the best works of storytelling Silent Hill 2 is open to interpretation. It deals with serious themes creatively such as suicide grief madness and death. This game scores full marks in all categories be it acting, graphics sound et al. It is a truly original and provotive work with layer apon layer of brilliance. From its deeply disquieting monster design, human forms corrupted and deformed beyond recogniton,its six unlockable ending four of which actually enhance your understanding of the main plot instead of being cynical tack ons for replay value, or its Francais Bacon meets Marilyn Manson asthetic Silent Hill 2 is a resounding success on all fronts. Most importantly of all you will mess your jockies playing this game and it will sometimes sit on your shelf unplayed not because youre bored with it but your afraid to walk the rusty corridors of Brookhaven or Toluca Prison again! BUY IT NOW!
