About this product
Product Information
- Silent Hill. Its very name conjures up a sense of mystery, and within some, a sense of dread. But not for everyone. For some people, Silent Hill is a place of happy memories, maybe the last pleasant memories that they've ever had. James Sutherland's wife was such a person. She seemed drawn to Silent Hill and always wanted to return. She didn't have a chance after she became ill and died. And yet, maybe she does have that chance, because now, three years after her death, James Sutherland has received a letter from his late wife, urging him to come meet her. In Silent Hill.
Story wise, Silent Hill 2 is only a loose sequel to the 1999's critically praised survival horror game. The infamous town in question is the setting for both games, but other than that, only the thinnest of plotlines connect the two games. Silent Hill 2 features an all-new protagonist and cast of characters, and the plot is strikingly different from the first. The nature of the game, with its survival horror basis wrapped in fog-drenched mystery, remains similar.
In the game, you control James, who has come to town to find out why his dead wife beckoned him to Silent Hill. James tells himself the letter is not real, but he's still compelled to visit the town, perhaps by forces he cannot comprehend. Along the way, he'll meet other characters that have come to town for their own personal reasons. There's Angela, a young moody woman who's searching for her parents; Maria, a mysterious woman who looks very much like James' late wife; Laura, a snotty little girl who seems to try and impede James' progress at every turn; and Eddie, a large, stupid man whose fear seems to be hiding something deeper.
Although the plot weaves around these characters and eventually reveals their inner natures and motivations, this isn't a soap opera -- there are also plenty of monsters to do battle with, and a greater darkness to uncover. To fight these gruesome beings, some of which are making a return appearance and some that are brand new, James will have to locate different weapons and ammunition, such as the handgun, shot gun, and rifle. And there will also be plenty of puzzles to solve that require a player's wits as well as their ability to discover and combine various items hidden around the town.
While Silent Hill 2 retains the multiple endings of the first game, these different endings are more focused on the plot, and how you achieve them is more tied in to how you actually play the game. There are four different actual endings and an additional secret one that won't be spoiled here. Each of these endings is unique and provides more of the story to this dark town. Also included to encourage players to keep going through the game are multiple difficulty levels for both fighting and puzzle solving. In addition to this, players who play through the game enough times will be able to discover new hidden objects, as well as special weapons such as the chain saw, which severs enemies completely in half.

Silent Hill 2: Silence is Golden
I don't know what it is about me, but I love scaring myself half to death. The Silent Hill game series is exactly the kind of thing I can plug into after a long day. Turn the lights out, the PlayStation on and let the game work its magic. The team behind Silent Hill 2 have done an amazing job at bringing the survival horror game to the PS2. Part of what made the original Silent Hill on the 32-bit PSX scary was its low graphics and small draw distance. It helped obscure this nightmarish world and lead you into dark pits of the unknown. With the PS2's graphic engine, Silent Hill 2 has to work harder to make the universe horrific...but pulls it off excellently. Don't attempt to adjust your television--that IS camera noise interfering with your vision. The fog effects and camera noise go a long way to making the game look gritty and realistic. Not to mention the frightening sounds, unspeakable monsters and engaging puzzles you will find throughout your experience in the deserted resort town. The levels practically blend into one another as you continue your journey and search for your wife, who is sending you messages from beyond the grave. The only problem I have with this game is the low calibur of the voice talent. Most of the characters, including the player's character James, have very wooden performances that make them sound not really "normal," but "stupid." All in all, just a small complaint to anotherwise perfect game. Any horror fan should check out this one-of-a-kind experience. In a horror market that's geared toward shock value, Silent Hill 2 uses stealthy, sublime techniques to hint at a horror that can only be imagined...because the only thing scarier than what you see on screen is what you imagine is waiting for you in the looming darkness.Read full review

A truly chilling game.
I've been a fan of the series, this entry in particular, for quite some time now. Silent Hill 2 is widely considered the best title in the long running series of games, and I share this opinion. The atmosphere, symbolism, and the drama are all top notch here, creating a game that will force you to play with lights on and keep the covers pulled up to your neck if you play before bed. The game centers around James Sunderland who has returned to the town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his wife, Mary. The only problem is, his wife passed away from illness three years ago. While James knows this is impossible, his unfathomable grief over the circumstances of her death drives him for a search for the truth. Along the way, he is assaulted by the very demons that haunt his psyche. The storytelling here is as good as it gets in the PS2 era of games. While the graphics are just so-so today, the monsters and music will still have you turning off the game after particularly unsettling parts. The voice acting is a little awkward, but in a way it works because you can tell the characters aren't very good at connecting with people (for one reason or another...). But I think the performance of the actress who plays the voice of the memory of James' wife is shockingly good for an imported videogame this old. Seriously, if you don't well up a little during the ending sequence, you are made of stone. Unfortunately, the combat is very clunky, and moving is extremely awkward. It's going to take you a sec to get accustomed to it. If you are looking to buy this as an action game, or something similar to classic "Resident Evil" titles, you WILL be disappointed. You will be more inclined to avoid enemies than anything else. If this had a spiritual predecessor I'd cite something more akin to "D" for the PS1. But the story, the creepy environments, and trying to figure out what secrets James is trying to discover will keep you playing. The game has about three endings, with some secret joke endings for replaying the game as well, so it'll keep you busy for some time. Even though I will always have a soft spot for this one, I'd have to honestly give it something like a 7.5/10 for the rigid controls and the more obscure puzzles it will throw at you if you put the puzzle difficulty setting up. This is one of those that is best enjoyed by fans of the genre.Read full review

A disturbing ride from start to finish
Pros: Silent Hill 2 has extremely scary environments and themes. From the paint-pealed hallways of abandoned apartment buildings to the rusted bars of an underground prison; the game's atmosphere remains grim throughout. Silent Hill 2 will freak you out and make you be afraid of the dark. The game overlays a semi-transparent static effect on all its textures giving you a feeling of playing a movie. The graphics and sound of this title are excellent, and they really bring the town of Silent Hill to life. The soiled wheel chairs and hospital beds will make you wash your hands after you see them in the hospital. This game is a disturbing ride through the town of nightmares that is Silent Hill. Cons: The game has poor combat controls. Firearms work best at close range, if you are too far away James (the protagonist) has a high chance of missing the target. Also, the player isn't given the ability to aim. The fog is ever-persistent in outside areas, the effect seems over used. The puzzles elements in the game don't seem as polished as the graphics.Read full review

A different kind of horror
This is a great psychological horror game for anyone new to the genre or not. The story is heartbreaking, the levels are twisted, and the music is fantastic. Overall Silent Hill 2 portrays a different kind of horror, something that extends a lot deeper than the scary moments is games like Resident Evil. This game is quite literally a more introspective journey.

Silent Hill 2
This game has pretty good graphics for being made around 9 years ago. It gave me chills, what with the disturbing monsters, the fog and the music. The plot is very simple, this guy gets a letter from his dead wife which implies that she is in Silent Hill waiting for him. So that's where ths story starts. Not recomended for people who easily scare, the monsters are strange and creepy. Even their movements are freaky, like the nurse things twitch like crazy and run after you screaming. Also its very easy to get lost, so good thing they have maps. The puzzles are easy to figure out, although I had my moments where I had an item and just couldn't figure out what to do with it. I reccomend this for any fans of horror games or fans of the series.

Greatest Hits is Best SH2 Version
The Greatest Hits version was worth the money, especially with its extra content and additional graphics & lighting. Make sure to get this copy instead of the black labeled version of Silent Hill 2. Always make sure to research before buying! Otherthan the Greatest Hits, the game has always been the best one out of the Silent Hill franchise. It's weird going back to 360p resolution graphics compared to HD Collection, but it's something to get used as a retro gamer. Gameplay plays very well, once you get used to the controls, but does feel less of a survival horror compared to Resident Evil. Thankfully there's a difficulty mode for this game that makes it challenging for Silent Hill fans. The real purpose of getting this game is its theme, art & music, and even the characters that makes the Silent Hill's psychological experience come to life. I'd recommend this to anyone with the craving for horror, and suits well for story driven fans. 4.5 out of 5 - It's a beautiful masterpiece and yet a depressing game that explores the depth of each character's state of mind, which manifest into the town of Silent Hill. -Brant MessengerRead full review

Eerie as hell as just as shocking...
This game is scary as hell, I mean it seems pretty tame, but it actually builds some good suspense, and is equally as bloody and violent in the best of ways. I have played all 4 Silent Hill games and this and #3 are at a tie for my favorite. This one because It has you guessing what is really going, what is it about James that led him to silent hill, and why strange people keep taggig along for the ride..(COUGH) Maria....she is freaky.. I mean He goes there looking for his wife whos been dead for years and here is this chick who follows him constantly, why I wonder? You will never guess haha I am pretty good at guessing and I couldnt get this one figured out, if you liked the suspense of saw and you like the gory gameplay of games like resident evil, siren and the other silent hill's then you'll definitely love this game without question.Read full review
