Silent Hill 2 for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

I DARE anyone to take this game on full volume, in the dark, alone, start to finish. If you are not scarred there is something amiss and you are not into horror. This game was way ahead of its time. Released in 01? Just like the first installment you must run to live. Pyramid head with the cleaver is just petrifying. The atmosphere is just so creapy, and lets face it if you live on the coast and you have to hear sirens I feel for you. I for one will never like hearing a siren or seeing an eclipse at the same time. If it happens to you pray to whatever you pray to cause guess what your in a place that makes dantes inferno seem like disneyland.

I recently finished a Silent Hill 2 and was somewhat disappointed in it. I had heard for years the it was the best survival horror game to ever be made. Maybe my expectation were to high or maybe I am just getting jaded in my old age, because the game did not live up to that. The game is wicked easy and I finished it in under 8 hours. I give it a 7 because I do understand it's place in history and recognize it's importance in the history of game story telling, but in my opinion it is really starting to show it's age.
