Customer Reviews of Silent Hill 2

You promised you wouold take me there again someday... but you never did.
I had wanted to get this game for some time, and when I saw how cheap I could get it... well, I did. <
> <
>The game starts out... unnervingly. You begin in a gas station bathroom, and once you leave, your character reads a letter. From his wife. Who has been dead for three years. Now, this may sound like some "back from the dead" story, but it isn't. Or it is, but not in the way you would expect. <
> <
>Working your way around, you meet only four people- plus a few bodies(something funny I found, in the game options you can switch the blood color between green, red, black and violet.) However, these four people all have importance- or at the very least, will make you think. Even Laura, however annoying during your first couple of encounters, grows on you. Eddie's character makes me feel unclean. Angela worried me throughout the game(with good reason.) Mary made me think twice about being nice to strangers. <
> <
>The graphics are superb, all the way through. Mist rolls around the streets, bringing bloody, glistening monsters in and out of view. Flickering lights reveal cockroaches the size of your head. Every little detail adds to the overall feeling of depression mixed with terror. Every demon moves in its own way, from the sexy strut of the Nurses to the slimy writhe of the Patients. And, in one particular apartemnet room, shadows of tattered butterflies flit around. Maria's velvet skirt looks real, shimmering and shifting with the light. <
> <
>The little touches add up- James heaves and tries to catch his breath after running, his head turns to relevant people, monsters and objects. If he walks in a puddle- whether blood or waters- he tracks wet footprints for a little while. After he shoots his handgun, the shot lights the room for a nanosecond, and then the shell falls to the ground with a cling. <
> <
>That's right. A cling. Every possible action has a sound- James catching his breath, the whoosh of a swinging pipe, the slosh of wading through waist-deep water, the drip froma leaky pipe. Ambient sound is everywhere, and little snatches of music can make you alternately make you want to piss your pants or cry. Your little radio that emits static when monsters are nearby will make you forever afraid of white noise. The voice acting, while not movie-quality, is still good enough to not detract from the game. The cut-scene with Angela in the Lakeview Hotel stairway is wonderful, though. It's also one of the few times a game has made me cry- besides being sad, it is a defining moment in the characters of both James and Angela. <
> <
>Considering this game costs about $6- there really is no excuse not to buy it. It has 6 separate endings, too- so that's like paying $1 per ending. Two are sad, one is hopeful, one is scary, and the other two are hysterical- not to give anything away, but one involves a small dog and the other a UFO. <
> <
>Without a doubt, a beautiful, terrifying, and sad game, and one of the best I've played. <

What can i say . . .
I just finished this game, and it was one of my greatest game experiences. I was a big fan of the first Silent Hill, realesed on Playstation and i must say, that this second game is as good as the first one. Great and sad story, atmospheric graphic and sound. I can't complain about game controls, because they are almost the same like in the first game, and there was nothing wrong with them. <
>I also love the voice acting. So turn down the lights, set the graphic to maximum, turn on your 5.1 surround system and enjoy this great game.

One of the Best
This game is fantastic. The quality of the graphics are great (and it's Konami's 2nd SH game), the story is very well thought out, and the controls are easy to use (and learn). <
>I am not really the kind of person who liked to play "scary games" (i.e. Resident Evil) but there is something about this game that just makes you want to play it. I have played it and the words to describe the experience escape me. You just can't put it into words!! <
>I highly reccomend this fantastic game for the quality of graphics, the great story, easy controls and for the experience you'll get. <
>Hope this helped. =^..^=
