Konami new survival horror game, the sequel to silent hill. the game that was a huge success, Silent hill 2 is here.

Konami is back in an attempt to outdo them self again, presenting us with a survival horror that is more eerie, frightening, and outright creepier than their first venture into the world of Silent Hill. When looking back at the first title, my impressions of the game were very high. Konami had given us a game that stretched the bounds of its genre, and offered a title different than its counterparts. The videos we were being shown were spooky enough not even playing the game, so it was no surprise what type of scare Silent Hill 2 could achieve. The question, however, is whether or not the game is just scary, or does it contain a story and gameplay features that make you want to continue playing?
It is obvious that this aspect was looked into heavily by Konami, and in my eyes, they have succeeded.

The sound in Silent Hill 2 works perfectly with the surroundings, and makes for an intense encounter every time you turn around. When moving from room to room the musical score changes to accommodate your progression, and hints at unique happenings as they occur. Every door opening, every corner turn is executed with great presence, and allows the gamer to get the full feel of what Silent Hill is about. The voice acting is one of the best qualities in the game, as it is pulled off nicely. Konami could have rushed past this element, but I am very happy with what they have done.
For all lasting appeal purposes, it all comes down to the preference of the player.

To put it simply, if you enjoy the journey of the Silent Hill, you may very well want to venture another go at things. With the game being about 10-15 hours long, players may find themselves wanting more, and maybe changing the levels from Easy to Hard. Konami has allowed fans of the game excellent replay value, and have added elements that make this option possible. <
