Simply one of the most disturbing games I have ever played in my life and one of the best stories I have ever heard in a videogame.

 

Despite it's few glitches' date=' some annoying level design and easy puzzles, it's simply a masterpiece.

got it the first day. It's amazing, but it had alot of problems, and I mean ALOT of problems.

 

- the glitches, some which are more severe. Like your saved data was erased if you deleted a picture and check your inbox.

- All the puzzles seemed like...Well 15 second detour, the only puzzle that took me any time to figure out at all was the door to the gym, only because I kept trying to put the # on the keypad.

- The new iceworld gameplay is refreshing but(might be) has a habit of when you throw an enemy off, sometimes the pointer would disappear on your screen and your character would like to spin like a retard.

- Very short game.

etc..

 

 

There was many more problems that I was too lazy to explain but I personally found it's pro's to outweighs the cons.

 

- The psychology tests were if anything interesting and I found some of them cool, especially the one about guilt.

- yes it was a short game, but they gave you reason to play it several timse(I played it 5 times to get the endings and other reasons)

- The music was great and unsettling, just like it should be.

- No loading time <3, of course sometimes it lags during doors but it's not long but it's probably cause I have a burned disk.

- The characters were done great.

- Generally pretty terrifying games.

 

So it is worth it, but I do have to say a few things.

 

- The horror disappear about 1 1/2 hour in(but comes back at the end), because you quickly realize that you can only get attacked in the ice world. I would love to see them continue this experiment but make the ice world more frequent, and have them even appear outside of the ice world occasionally, or longer ice sequence.

- With the ice world sequence, I wish they would refine the combat. It was great, but sometimes they are right behind you or next to you and a "shove that bugger" ability would be nice.

- The psychological test were great and they changed the world, and sometimes they were changed ALOT. I mean my friend played it and he got a tight jean, revealing shirt, douchebag cop. While I got a kind cop(we also met them in different parts of the game)

 

however as you may notice, all these changes are pure aesthetic, for the experiment it worked. However I want to see a sequel as they say. "The game plays you the more you play it." I want it so your choices and what you do actually effect the actual core gameplay, passages, where you go, and story. Not just the looks.

 

If you are a fan or not, this game will be hit or miss. However if you do enjoy it, it will be absolutely worth it. Great game, successful experiment, would buy again(and hoping for a sequel)

silent hill got so much beter after silent hill 3' date='btw i loved the movie i think its based on silent hill 2. if not correct me.

the movie would be better if you take the word "silent hill" out of the title. Trust me, it barely relates to the world of silent hill :P.

 

Silent Hill 2 is about a man James Sunderland looking for his wife that sent him a letter from Silent Hill despite being deceased.

lol true but its still good.come one u have yo idmit it.

 

it was good' date=' however like I said. It would be much better without the silent hill title, because with the title "silent hill" it's a terrible movie in comparison. It does Silent Hill no justice, and does a terrible silent hill story.

 

It should of been called "Silent Town" or something :P.

==

Also just throwing this out there. Pyramid head should die, he was great in silent hill 2 but it was very important. He should of not appeared in the movie or in Homecoming. He should DISAPPEAR, it doesn't make sense for him to be their unless it's a remade version of Silent Hill 2.

 

[spoiler=pyramid head']Pyramid Head is suppose to be the physical manifestation of James guilt, shame. and sexual desire. That is why he hides his fast, he carries around a large innuendo based knife, rapes anything that moves(literally), and kills the girl that resembles Jame's wife repeatedly(because James killed his wife).

 

So thus when James finally came with truth with his own mind that he killed his wife and he is constantly trying to run away the Pyramid Head kills themselves and reside whiten James.

 

Thus making Pyramid Head nonexistent to anyone but James.
