Product Description
Product Description
Silent Hill 2 pushes the boundaries of horror. Return to the dense fog and frightening darkness of the eerie, haunted town of Silent Hill to face new enemies with a new set of terrifying weapons. Features enhanced weather, gore and visual expressions with a soundtrack presented in dramatic Dolby Surround. Made in USA.

With its Poe-like atmosphere, dense fog, pitch-black hallways, and a cryptic letter from a dead wife, Silent Hill 2 promises to surpass the paranoia created by its predecessor, Silent Hill.
The sequel opens with James Sunderland, the series' average joe protagonist, and a mysterious message that reads, "Silent Hill, our sanctuary of memories. I'll be waiting for you there." More puzzling is that the note is signed by Mary, his deceased wife.
James sets out for Silent Hill hopeful that he'll find a trace of Mary. After an aborted attempt by car, James plunges into the dank fog and embarks on his quest by foot. Enter Angela, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Mary, and who also beckons him with another curious message. It seems James can't go back; strange things are happening in Silent Hill.
Silent Hill 2 offers 10 new formidable foes, plenty of puzzles, and bone-chilling gameplay. The sequel's new story and characters promise to thrill and terrify. The visual and sound effects are amazingly detailed and macabre, and, if you're playing on a system with surround sound, you may find yourself keeping the lights on.

this game is amazing. the story, soundtrack, sounds, gameplay, designs of environment and characters, etc. are all the best ive ever come across in a video game, no exaggeration. when i first started playing i couldn't stop, even when i had important things to do. so far out of the horror video games ive played, this is by far the scariest. at one point in the game i actually half-screamed, which is something i never do.
the replay value, for me at least, is high as well. most of the time with games that tell a story, once you beat it thats the last you'll ever play it, even with games with multiple endings. this game has multiple endings, but most of the replay value comes from learning more about the story. the story isnt told to you in a straightforward manner and you have to think about what is going on.
another thing i love about this game is that although its filled with various monsters/creatures, it still seems very real. the characters have realistic personalities and flaws. i could say something about the details of the monsters/creatures, but dont want to spoil any of the story whatsoever.
i beat the first silent hill and moved on to silent hill 2 with no problems. now this week i've been playing silent hill 3 and while its a great game as well, all i can think about is playing silent hill 2 again. if you missed out on playing this game for a couple of years like i did, don't wait any longer. if this is your type of game you should love it.
I loved the first Silent Hill but the voice talent was god awful and distracting. All has been rectified! Konami seems to have amped everything in this game, graphics, talent, perversion.
Let's talk about perversion. I have only seen such bizarre fetishism in my worst nightmares...come to think of it, I have never been this twisted. If this is the new direction of horror survival I welcome it with open arms... and eyes.
There seems to be some talk of puzzles being too hard -- I disagree. That is one thing I have no patience with and usually cop out and consult the cheats to get through them. But I haven't had to do that even once in this game. They're just hard enough to give you that goose of a thrill when you solve it. Just right... as is everything in this game. Except one thing.
The only negative...
...it had to end. :(
But I cleaned the disc off and gave it a try. I've played the game for over 4 hours already and not a single problem. Everything is just fine. Thank you.
