Accessories: Editorial Review: Product Description: Become James Sunderland, as he returns to Silent Hill after receiving a note from his deceased wife Mary. Amazon.com Product Description: With its Poe-like atmosphere, dense fog, pitch-black hallways, and a cryptic letter from a dead wife, Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams promises to surpass the paranoia created by its predecessor, Silent Hill. The sequel opens with James Sunderland, the series' average joe protagonist, reading a mysterious message that says, "Silent Hill, our sanctuary of memories. I'll be waiting for you there." More puzzling is that the note is signed by Mary, his deceased wife. James sets out for Silent Hill hopeful that he'll find a trace of Mary. After an aborted attempt by car, James plunges into the dank fog and embarks on his quest by foot. Enter Angela, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Mary, and who also beckons him with another curious message. It seems James can't go back; strange things are happening in Silent Hill. Silent Hill 2 offers 10 new formidable foes, plenty of puzzles, and bone-chilling gameplay. The sequel's new story and characters promise to thrill and terrify. The visual and sound effects are amazingly detailed and macabre, and, if you're playing on a system with surround sound, you may find yourself keeping the lights on. Note: This product description refers to the PlayStation2 version. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - WAY TOO HARD AND CLUNKY 6 OUT OF 10Silent Hill 2 : Restless Dreams succeeds at giving off the series trademark creepy vibe and filling you full of despair while scaring the s*** out of you. Unfortunately, issues mar this game from reaching its true potential. First off the game is way too hard for people who are not familiar with this series. Your objectives are not explained well which will leave you confused and wondering where you're supposed to go and what to find. You'll find yourself constantly looking at your map to locate ... Read More Rating: - x-box version has more!This game is different from the playstation2 version! It has an extra side mission where you can play as Maria. The only way to get this on the ps2 is to get the "greatest hits" version. This game has 4 standard endings, and two strange out-there endings so replay value is relatively high. Keep in mind the game was made years ago, so the scares aren't as extreme as Fatal Frame for example, but it gets better towards the end. Rating: - Action Thriller ChillerThis game chilled me to the bone all the way until the end. I literally had to have my roomate stay in the living room and watch me play the game, because I was afraid to play alone. This game so far is the scariest game I've ever played! Now for the downsides: Camera angles are choppy, boss fights (or any fight) is clumsy, and the storyline is cryptic (much like most Japanese storylines) But overall: Worth the play. Rating:  - Hauntingly detailed, mentally unsettling, but just a bit too short...My initial fears that this was just an overhyped Resident Evil clone were quickly put to rest - although the two games share a genre and pieces of a control scheme, their personalities couldn't be further apart. Where the first three Resident Evils focused on the cheesier, blood-n-guts style with a hint of puzzle solving in the name of variety, Silent Hill 2 concentrates much more on the unknown, the unexplained and the psychologically disturbing. Where Resident Evil 2 is horror in the vein of Dawn ... Read More Rating:  - Pathetic attempt at a video gameAfter 30 minutes of game play my character walked about 100 miles through thick fog and junk graphics. I came to 6 dead-ends, and killed like 5 guys (which is really hard when the player control totally sucks). I've played this type of game before and usually they are ok. But if this game moved any slower it would be on pause. If you are looking for a game with a creepy feel, then this is it. But if you are looking for a game to entertain you...pick something else. I was bored to death playing this. ... Read More |
