I mean damn this game is so tight, i have to get this game if i have to beg, borrow, or ... to get this game. I love scary games that make you want to play then all day and night because you get caught up in the supense. This game makes resident evil look like a childrens game.

i went out yesterday and bought this game cause i loved the first one. i played for 2 hours and was amazed by the graphics. the fog in the game is much better than the first one. the town of silent hill looks just a bit different(anyone notice that?). i highly recommend this game to anyone who loves strategy games. resident evil: code veronica x is a must have too!

this is the first horror type game that i've played. i never played silent hill 1 or any of the resident evils. playing this game is kind of like being in a movie that you control. you move from place to place with movie scenes to watch every now and then. the graphics aren't necessarily photo realistic, but they still impress me because the town of silent hill is huge and everything has a lot of detail. i give the audio in this game a perfect 10. all the sound effects sound just how they should. there isn't much music, but when there is it sounds really good. as for control, the camera angles can bug you sometimes, but isn't a big deal. konami did a good job of making this a creepy game. you probably won't be scared, but when you enter some rooms you might wonder what is going to happen next. overall, this is a cool game with a thriller movie atmosphere.

Amazing!!!!!!!! the Scariest Game to date for the PS2

I gave the original Silent Hill 5 stars, and believe it to be the best horror game I've ever played. Though I finished that game over 4 years ago, there are still scenes that come to mind and give me chills. Silent Hill 2 falls short of that experience, but is the creepiest PS2 game out there.

Many of the mosters don't as much look to be spawned from hell as welded together from spare parts. This is a different look, and quite effective. Also, many of the monsters in SH2 have acquired a nervous twich, somewhat reminiscent of the demons in the film Jacob's Ladder. Seeing a deformed, twiching nurse coming at you wielding a steel pipe will make you wonder what you're doing in this crazy town in the first place.

Almost all of the puzzles made sense, though there were a couple of stumpers that made me look for a walkthrough.

The game is brimming with creepy sounds, but I often wondered why particular sounds were played in particular areas (it seemed like the creepiest sounds were played in the areas that furthered the plot).

I wasn't left with as many questions as after the first game, but there is still a lot left unanswered (not that I was expecting otherwise.) The game is pretty short, however. I clocked in at just under 10 hours.

Overall the game accomplished what it set out to do. When I turned off the game at night and walk through the dark house on my way to bed, there was the slightest fear that a deformed, twitching nurse was right behind me ready to clock me with a steel pipe!

scary!!!

this game is scary and the story is cool and mysterios.
but i think they could have done a better job on the zombies. at the beginning of the game theres only 1 kind of zombie until the hotel. once you get to the hotel (15 mins thru the game b-cuz you have to walk in real time thru this huge city but its hard to find it cuz its so foggy)then one more kind of zombie appears and it dosen't look human, but over all its a great game

pros
cool story
great graphics
hard puzzles

cons
to foggy
its hard to get weapons
the zombies look weird (but scary)
the zombies spray freaky juice at you to hurt you

and the overall score is..........

Its a great game with a great story-line. It has ok controls, they could get a little messed up sometimes. Nice graphics that although are good they dont live up to what the ps2 could do. It is a scary game. Itsso scary that i was scared to turn corners. But in the middle of the game, at the hospital, it just lost all scariness. It got almost funny. I beat the game in a week. You could set the difficult levels so it makes it harder at the riddles and the monsters. There are 5 endings so you might want to play it over. Overall i give it around a 3 and a half to A 4.

One great game....one great game this is

Let me begin to tell you that this is by far the best game of 2001 (but it will likely be surpassed by Metal Gear 2), the graphics are the best, the sound is sooo real!!...i literally jumped of my seat when i heard a creature crawling in the night....this is the most twisted, macabre, phsycologically disturbed game i have ever played, and it really messes with your mind, i am afraid to play this game alone or in the dark...if you like good games, play, no, buy this game!

Better Graphics...Poorer Story...Still Creepy...But...

In the first Silent Hill game, we were introduced to a town that had a deep dark secret and as we experienced the environment there, we saw things get ever more and more bizarre.

The reason for this was never fully explained...but there was enough story to allow us to draw possible conclusions.

This time around, Konami has concentrated on giving us mind-blowingly sharp graphics -- from the full motion video sections all the way through to the in-game environments. And with the several possible game play options, there is a lot to do as far as play and re-play are concerned.

However, the story this time is not very well developed. And where there is some attempt at plotting, there are sadly few surprises.

As with the original game, there is never a complete explanation of the situation. How did James Sunderland -- the character we play as -- end up in Silent Hill? We learn that a note from his presumably dead wife inspired his journey but never understand much else about him. When did he notice the world around him starting to mutate into the bizarre place he visits? Why does so little of the strangeness around him have an impact?

There are plenty of attempts made to creep us out in this game and the enemies are definitely strange and interesting. The puzzles with their multiple levels of difficulty are also a nice feature. But, these elements just don't add up to all that they might.

This isn't a major disappointment by any means. It just doesn't live up to the promise inspired by the first game. Even with the PS2-related improvements, the elements of a great game are essentially the same. Unfortunately, Silent Hill 2 lacks several of them.
