Silent Hill 2 for PlayStation 2

Pros: Words can not describe how creepy this game is.
Cons: None so far

Silent Hill 2 for the Playstation 2 is the latest offering in the survival horror genre. And believe me, it is creepy.

The 1st Silent Hill game introduced players to a different kind of scare. Foggy streets, unlit areas where the only...

Pros: SCARY, SCARY, SCARY! Great lighting effects and sound.
Cons: Killing zombies gets boring.

Silent Hill was probably one of the best games out for Playstation. Konami gave the gaming world a new kind of horror game: One that is actually scary. Konami comes back with it's Playstation 2 attempt at a horror game. It came out pretty good. Konami...

Pros: disturbing, interesting story, good textures, perfect atmosphere
Cons: depressing story at times, eats away at your mind psychologically

Yes, it is an odd title. But it is a rather good metaphor to describe this game. And why do I say that? Because Silent Hill 2 is the straight jacket, and the player is the owner. By psychologically teasing you, Silent Hill 2 makes your mind...

Pros: Great next generation graphics, Voice acting
Cons: Once you'll beat it you'll want more, Not superior to the first.

Silent hill came out at the perfect time. It came out when nothing but crappy titles were coming out for the playstation. The only real title to claim throne to was the Resident Evil series which isn't exactly a walk in the park. But Silent Hill was...

Pros: Superb lighting effects. Good VA and ambiance
Cons: Not as scary as the original, only 5 different enemies, bad script

I used to have to sleep with the lights on; Post-Silent Hill complex. I don't just mean a night light....that made it even worse. Despite awkward controls, a nonsensical storyline, and blocky graphics, Silent Hill 1 made up for all that with pure...

Pros: Story, atmosphere, music, sound, graphics, and enemy design, (Pyramid Head) awesome ending!
Cons: Dated stiff controls NEED a face-lift. Puzzles on normal-mode are tedious, parts may require walkthrough.

I'm more in favor of Silent Hill 2 over the classic original because Silent Hill 2, will most likely give the average gamer a good ending. How you play the game will determine your ending. I had not before realized how eerie any horror game could ...

Pros: Definitely equals the effect of the original!
Cons: Some may find it a bit short.

As an avid fan of the original, there was no way I was going to pass this title up. From the trailers, screen shots and sound clips alone, I was in complete awe at the sight of it.

First of all, in case you didn't know it, this has almost no...

Pros: Great plot, cinematic, and sound
Cons: Annoying puzzles and backtracking

The Silent Hill series of video games are known for their disturbing atmosphere and ingenius, obscure plots. In fact, I have a feeling that if any of the Silent Hill games were condensed into a paperback, they would do quite well. It's hard to believe ...

Pros: Gloomy setting, always keeps you wondering whats next.
Cons: Surroundings and backrounds start to look the same, How do I aim this thing?!

WHAT IT IS:

Silent Hill two is a game of "survival horror" in other words just another copy of resident evil, but not quite as well done. It is about a guy that is trying to find his "thought to be dead" girlfriend after he received a...

Pros: Atmosphere is very good, graphics, and sound. Good difficulty options. Very scary.
Cons: Same control issue as SH1, some camera angles are difficult to work with, too short.

Silent Hill 2 is the game my wife and I bought our Playstation 2 for. We played the first Silent Hill game, and have looked forward to the sequel ever since.

As with the original, Silent Hill 2 offers a very spooky atmosphere and quite a...

Pros: The sights, the sounds, the story, the characters and the uniquely chilling atmosphere.
Cons: Ummm... Not for kids... Is that even a con...?

After a raft of painful PS2 disappointments which colminated in the pretentious nonsensical barely interactive philosophical mumbo jumbo packed disaster that was Metal Gear Solid 2 (there's a mouthful for you), the console is in serious need of some bank...

Pros: Graphics, Sound, Storyline, game control, and concept
Cons: The puzzles were way too tough and the riddles confused me more than they helped.

It's been a long time since I've played a survival/horror game with sound as powerful as Silent Hill 2. Come to think of it, the last game with comparable sound was the original SH. That useful/annoying/terrifying radio from the first game is back. Just...

Pros: scariest game ever, cool music, character development, level design
Cons: wandering the streets of the town, boring combat, blurry textures

Konami saw what Capcom was doing with "Resident Evil" and the survival-horror genre as a whole ...

Pros: Far scarier than anything I've ever known.
Cons: Not sleeping because I'm afraid to close my eyes.

My friend Mike called me up one day, and said he had this game Silent Hill 2 that he wanted me to play with him. Now, don't think less of me for this, but I have never played the Original Silent Hill, nor had I even heard of the series until my friend...

Pros: Stunning graphics, awesome gameplay, understandable story, great sound, and it's very scary!
Cons: Sticky controls sometimes, and it may be too graphic and violent... but that's good.

When I first saw the glimpse of Silent Hill back in 1999 on a demo disc, I was surprisingly frightened by the game trailer's sequences and cinematics, and when I finally got to play a working demo, never in my life have I been so captured and involved in...
