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. <br><br>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. <br><br>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. <br><br>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. <br><br>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.

  • 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.

  • 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 Messenger

  • Silent hill the mind game

    This game was incredible. Most of the game play isn't scary but psychological. Most of the time I was wondering if it was all in his mind. The atmosphere was the most scary part and I was always on my edge of my seat
