Silent Hill 2 (PS2) Reviews

Silent Hill 2 may very well be the best horror game ever created - it is a breakthrough experience both as a visually stunning game, and also as an existential parable that explores family, loss, and love as offshoots. This is emotional, cerebral, extremely visceral gaming at its very best, and is the best of what is by its own merits a stunningly ...  Read the complete review

If you do the above you will create such an atmosphere within your house that will scare you silly. Its fantasticly brilliant and definately meets on a par with ...  Read the complete review

Silent Hill 2 is the bestselling sequel to the original PSone game and the first of four episodes in the series to appear on the PS2 console. Although it doesn't carry on directly from the first game, SH2 does return the gamer to the same mist enshrouded American town chock full of eccentric characters and scary, twisted creatures eager to tear ...  Read the complete review

I have known grown men admit to being too scared to get out of the lounge to go up to bed after playing SH2. Yes it is bloody scary! even the zombie nurses scare me. But its a beautiful game, so atmospheric and absorbing. The music is hauntingly beautiful. But this game should be played correctly, lights off, windows ...  Read the complete review

Silent Hill 2 is a beautiful, cinematic experience of a game. It is ridiculously frightening, features moderately well-done action, and compelling characters that would be just as believable in a more "legitimate" work of fiction, IE a film or a novel. The survival horror style game is mostly about avoiding enemies and ...  Read the complete review

I thought it was time to write up another game review. This time, I thought I'd back track to one of the older PS2 titles available: SILENT HILL 2: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT I've been a fan of the Silent Hill franchise ever since I played the original game back in 1999 on the humble Playstation. Despite the limitations of the ...  Read the complete review

For a terrifying, pant-wetting experience there is no other game I would recommend. Despite being the second Silent Hill game in the series, this game stands apart from the first one and doesn't require the player to have experienced the first. The story revolves around a man called James who receives a mysterious letter from his dead wife ...  Read the complete review

Silent Hill had, and always will, divide peoples opinions like no other game. Many have described it as a truly shocking modern masterpiece, whilst others not only claimed it wasn't the least bit scary but criticised some of it's more innovative features - one being a radio that crackles with static when monsters are nearby. Well ...  Read the complete review

It is claimed that Silent Hill 2 has all the fog to try and give it more atmosphere well not so for me, after owning Silent Hill 1 I was expecting big things from ...  Read the complete review

Silent Hill, eh? What can I say about Silent Hill? It’s like Albert Square with cheerier characters, or Erinsborough with better acting. It was also the setting for an acceptable, if hastily overrated, horror adventure game. The original had you watching lots of FMV sequences, stumbling through thick fog and arriving at an ending only ...  Read the complete review

When Silent Hill (1) first hit us on the PS1 we were astounded at the atmosphere, the graphics and we were delighted that we had to leave the lights on to go to bed; Back in those days, 99% of PS1 games were linear, we had no expectations of 'something more' however we now have the PS2, we expect more - unfortunately Silent Hill 2 does not ...  Read the complete review

Silent Hill was the best survival horror game ever made. Fact. Why? Because it was the only one that ever paid any attention to the whole 'horror' part of survival horror. Simply, it was terrifying. No question about it - never before (nor since) had a game actually made me scared to open the next door for what I might find. Now, Silent ...  Read the complete review

Games which try and scare you are a funny old bunch, anyone who can think back far enough to the early days of the Atari ST, Amiga, and P.C will remember a tide of ill-advised FMV 'horror' games which were only disturbing because of their low production values and terrible acting. We want to be scared because it's a sensation ...  Read the complete review

It's almost impossible to think about the survival-horror landscape without mentioning Resident Evil, so, I'll make this quick. Nintendo may have snagged the Resident Evil series for the next five years or so, but it’s really no worry. Why? Because of Silent Hill 2. Thankfully, Konami has emerged from a long, dark slumber with the ...  Read the complete review
