Pros: Disgustingly Beautiful, Some of the most complicated-ly good sound ever. Great Plot Cons: Well...It COULD be too scary for some.
"Fear.
Fear attracts the fearful.
The Strong, the Weak." - Darth Maul
Some of you may be wondering why I am quoting Darth Maul for an otherwise meaningless review of a video game. Well, to be honest, this quote directly...
2.5 weeks until RE
If you know me well, want to know to me, don't know me, don't care to know me, or even if you would rather kill yourself than know me, you'd know that I am very excited about RE for GC.(longest sentence ever) So, after...
Pros: Graphics, gameplay, story. Cons: Too short, not scary.
Silent Hill was the underdog back in 1999 when it decided to release the very same day as Final Fantasy 8. Without having to check to make sure, Silent Hill didn't get the attention it so deserved, especially compared to the unimpressive FF8. Well,...
Pros: Everything: graphics, sound, story, gameplay; terrifying, multiple endings Cons: some camera angles, lack of interaction with environments, thats about it
Story: SH2 isn’t a sequel to the original. The only thing that has stayed the same is the location. In SH2 you control James Sunderland. James received a letter from his wife, who died three years ago, telling him to meet her in the ...
Pros: Scary stuff. Cons: The same old jerky gameplay.
Try and think hard about what makes you scared. I'm guessing there's more than just one thing that would blow your mind away. The dark can be scary. Sisters can be scary. Even failing a midterm exam can make your pimples pop, I bet. Those frightening ...
Pros: Incredible art direction; stunning graphics; creepy, authentic horror movie presentation. Cons: Clunky controls; hokey voice-acting.
Welcome to your worst nightmare! Get a pot of coffee brewing, leave the lights turned on, and prepare yourself for a truly unforgettable survival horror experience. The eerie, seemingly deserted lakeside resort town of Silent Hill is back and deadlier ...
Pros: interesting story, scary Cons: may be to disturbing for some
If you thought any of the Resident Evil games were scary, then you’re gonna have a heart attack during Silent Hill 2. Never have I played a game so scary that I’ve had nightmares about it at night.
Pros: Beatifully made. An obviously huge amount of effort had been poured in Cons: Just.... too short, and not enough fun
Silent Hill is one of the biggest names in the survival-horror genre, right up next to Resident Evil. Even in the early days of the PS1 it was a well known and respected game. People went mad for it, because it was a change from the overused yet familiar ...
Pros: everything except... Cons: ...the camera angles, the controls, and the shortness of SH2.
Do you think you’re a man (or a woman)? You aren’t until you have played Silent Hill 2. This video game proves again to non-gamers that movies aren’t the only masterpieces in the world. A couple of games have proven better than movies (with Silent Hill...
Pros: psychologically disturbing, Animation great sound, visuals,enviroments, use weapon while walking Cons: tons of running around, items hard to see, puzzle slow progress
Eerie darkness surrounds you as the fog gets thicker and starts to swirl around almost as if it’s taken on a life of it’s own. You walk around searching around a deserved town that once was full of life by the lake by now filled with emptiness where...
Pros: storyline, sound effects, crisp graphics, bonus disc Cons: a little too short, not for the faint hearted
In Silent Hill 2 you take control of James Sunderland, an average guy - a bit like the hero of Silent Hill on Playstation. The game opens with you looking over a foggy lake at the town of Silent Hill. You have nothing apart from a photo of your wife...
Pros: Frightening and disturbing video game with superb graphics, sound and gameplay... Cons: ... that doesn't top the original.
___ {_tHe OnLY THing_to_fear is FEAR itself__ }
A few years ago, Silent Hill brought a whole new chapter to the survival horror genre of games, introducing a new actual 3D world and perspective into an enormous, detailed town...
Pros: Graphics, creepy atmosphere, great storyline, music. Cons: Movement is a little clumsy at times, puzzles, while great, lower replay value. Short.
What strikes my fancy a bit more with the Silent Hill series than the better-recognized Resident Evil series is the way the game really gets down to your bones and creeps you out. While zombies chasing you down a ruined city block can certainly give you...
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.

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: 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...
Pros: Great gameplay, excellent music, and everything else. Cons: None.
I would by lying if I told you that I was a newbie to the Survival Horror genre in general when I first played Silent Hill 2, but I can truthfully say that this game scared the bejeezus out of me in ways that Resident Evil never could. I have been an...
Pros: Beautiful graphics, engaging storyline, You'll sleep with the light on. Cons: Gameplay can be short, You'll sleep with the light on.
You park your car at the edge of town. A thick fog rolls in from the lake. A filthy rest stop bathroom is your initial refuge. “But, my wife died 3 years ago!” “How did I get a letter from her now!!??” “I don’t want to go back to this town, but I...
Pros: Great story line, creepiness value is impeccable Cons: Some slow load times here and there
My boyfriend and I received Silent Hill 2 for our PS2 for Christmas. We had to submit a list of five potential candidates, and this is what Santa decided to leave for us. Thus I cannot really declare a "Value for your money" part with much...
Pros: Scary as all hell, great graphics, neat story, SCARY AS ALL HELL. Cons: Wetting your pants, sweaty palms, control could use some help.
If you though that the Resident Evil series was scary (wuss), then do yourself a favor and avoid Silent Hill 2. However, if you had no aversion to any previous survival/horror titles, then this game will likely get you one.
Pros: Scary, disturbing, and fun! Cons: Can be confusing at times.
Silent Hill 2 will scare the hell out of you. Not only are there scenes that will make you jump, but there are also scenes that will just plain freak you out.
The story starts when a man named James Sunderland recieves a letter from his wife...
Pros: Excellent visuals, creepy sounds, multiple endings, and great unfolding of the plot. Cons: Not as tightly knit plot as the first.
The first thing that must be recognized about this PS2 release is the astounding graphics. The lighting effects are stunning, and the fog effects add tremendously to the feel of the game. The creators spent years perfecting Silent Hill 2 and it...
Pros: This game still maintains the edge of being a mental thrill ride Cons: Some of the elements seem taken from horror novels
Last time around my review for Silent Hill was calling it a rip off. Which with all due respects it was a writer (James Mason) knowing how to fire a gun without any prior training. Even the story reeked of taking elements from other stories. Despite,...
Pros: Disturbingly gripping storyline. Great atmosphere! Cons: Can I leave this box blank???
The letter started it all... "Silent Hill, our sanctuary of memories... I will be waiting there for you." The letter is in her hand writing, signed with her name... How can this be? Your wife, Mary, passed away three years ago...
Pros: Frightening and Disturbing
Three Different Difficulty Levels Cons: Not for children under any circumstances
And let me tell you that the developers of this game are severely disturbed. To be quite honest I didn't know what to expect from the game; I was a big fan of the Resident Evil series and I heard that this game was along those lines. Plus I hadn't really...
Pros: The eeriest atmosphere and environment. Terrific graphics and sound. Cons: Bad controls. Probably TOO scary.
After the unexpected success of the original cult hit, Silent Hill, Konami returns with perhaps one of the scariest games, if not, the scariest game that’s ever graced a console. The original Silent Hill exploded onto the survival horror scene and took...
Pros: Superb sound effects, graphics, soundtrack Cons: So many cars, and we STILL have to run everywhere
Silent Hill 2 then. Sequel to Silent Hill, the Playstation hit that created psychological horror in games. It had it's flaws and critics, but was generally well received. So, can the sequel live up to expectations?
Yes, I'm pleased to say, if...
Pros: Lovely graphics, attention to detail. Plot twists! keeps you guessing, puzzles. Cons: hopelessly inferior to the original, short, leaves you asking, "why?"
Perhaps if I had played Silent Hill 2 without having first played the original, I would have been impressed; however, I did not. As a die-hard Silent Hill fan in fact, I was dying to play Silent Hill since I first heard of it early last year. The...
Pros: Good graphics, gameplay, great storyline. Cons: Some confusing endings, the game is very dark and hard to see at times.
I never played the first Silent Hill, but Silent Hill 2 looked so good, that it was the first game I purchased for my new PlayStation 2. It was definitely worth the money, and I played it non-stop until I beat the game. Although it is quite hard...
Pros: AMAZING. Cons: Slow and confusing at some points.
If your expectations of a great survival horror Playstation 2 game consists of an appealing story line, creepy monsters, and nerve wracking puzzles, all put together in an eerie atmosphere, then Silent Hill 2 has just met them. All that there is to say...
Pros: Intense ingrigue into the actual world keeps you edgy for hours to come Cons: Camera angles are difficult at times, some areas of voice acting
If you ever couldn't wake up from a nightmare, and suddenly all these flying boxes with people in it started coming at you with only the intention to harm, you must have been playing SH2.
Pros: same great disturbing gameplay, great graphics, just about everything Cons: Sound effects can go from freaky to irritating sometimes, loses its scaryness at times.
Funny how this game can soak your pants when you play it in the middle of the afternoon, with lights on all around you. I got this game on a sunday, took it home and started. When you first get a glimpse of your first enemy limping quickly down the...
Pros: Stunning , absorbing environments, state of the art cut scenes. Cons: Tough to play alone, especially in the dark. It's scary as hell.
In the months past, I had heard good things about Silent Hill 2. On top of the good word for SH2 i was familiar with the town of Silent Hill from the original game made for Playstaion. These rumors persuaded me and my roommate to rent the game last...
Pros: everything Cons: not enough violence and gore
This the most scariest game ever made the only resident evil game that ever made me jump out of my seat was the first one when the dogs jump out of the window but this game was far more scarier than any game i have played before the game starts off in a...
Pros: It is Silent Hill Cons: Not an improvement as sequels go
Seems like they rushed to get it out
This was not a bad game, but it is lacking in several departments. I agree that Silent Hill was a new innovation on a borrowed idea-but it worked. The original game creeped me out. I slept with the bathroom light on every night I played it. The original...
this game is the best version of a rip off of any resident evil...except the monsters are more annoying and this game gives you a ton of map runnin to do without the payoffs your expecting...keys, guns, puzzles

Silent Hill 2 continues the original PS1 title with a very spooky return to the deserted town. Movie sequences are very frightening. Great layout and graphics make the whole effect. Actual gameplay is s little too straight forward - and the story, well, I am sure we can excpect a Silent Hill 3 very soon.
