Its been 6 years since I played SH1, so when I played SH2 thoroughly it certainly gave me chills all over my body again. That's pretty rare these days. I enjoyed playing this game. The graphics are a whole lot better than the first SH game. Everything else was the same. I do have two complaints. One; to me the game felt kinda short, Two; Konami should have added a choice of choosing Widescreen or Standard screen(like RE4). I had to modified my Widescreen TV to get the images just right or the pictures would look distorted. Besides that, I like everything about this game.

Lots of walking around in dense atmosphere

I realize mine is not a popular opinion, but I think the Silent Hill series is the weakest of the more popular survival horror games. I love all the Fatal Frame games, and most of the Clocktower and Resident Evil games, but something about Silent Hill, to me, was a promise unkept. It was rich in atmosphere and very little else. Quite a bit of pounding these mutant creatures to a pulp with a plank too. Sure, there are clues and inventory and you need to work out a story, but it all seemed so secondary to the "chilly atmosphere" generated, which eventually wore off. In my opinion it lacks substance.

Best one player game I have ever played.

I just got this a week or so ago and let me tell you. This is the best one player game I have ever played in my life.

If you like Silent Hill 1, you will love Silent Hill 2. "Excellent Game" "Must Buy"

"If you haven't played SH1 does not matter, they are different stories."

I begin playing survival horror games like 4 months ago, because my cousins let them to me. They gave me Resident Evil 1 and 2 and Silent Hill 1. I began playing Resident Evil beacause i think it was better, but rapidly it began borring me, so I began playing SH1. Since the first time I played it I didn't stop. It was the best survival horror I ever played. It scared me on some times. But I finish it, I was so happy and I replayed it like 2 more times.

After finish it I bought Silent Hill 2, it was fantastic, the improvement on sound and graphics were so cool. I love it since the first time. I already finish it, so I am expecting to buy Silent Hill 3.

This is an awesome game, and this is a really, a really must buy survival horror game. Excellent!!!

Word of caution

I'm giving this game four stars, only because it just seems so darned good. The only problem I've had with it is a big one - the fact that it refuses to run on my system despite downloading all the recommended patches. Small print reveals that it doesn't like certain Dell systems, although my particular Dell wasn't listed. I tried contacting the techs at the Konami help center via email giving enough system info and technical data to choke a horse. They replied quickly (1 week later) requesting more information (??), which I provided. I haven't heard back. In fact, I've emailed them again and have been completely ignored.

This seems like such a wonderful gaming experience, it's just too bad it won't play on my system. I would strongly caution against ordering this game if you happen to own a Dell system.

Well, it's pretty much true once you play Silent Hill 2. I was really captivated by the story of James looking for his deceased wife that sometimes I forgot that I was playing for such a long time! The music/sound matches the atmosphere perfectly (i.e. walking around in a underground prison cell, Brookhaven, etc.)And not to mention PH! So don't be shy when it comes to reccommending this game. (Heck, I even heard that some college professors make their students write essays on this game!) That's how great this game is. Though, I don't really reccomend this to people who get scared easily (though you can use this as a reason why you still use a night light). The game play may not really challenging, but even if you're a hardcore "OMGihatesilenthillcozRErockslololol!!!!111oneoneone" ...give it a try. It won't hurt ya.;)

Bad game

I thought this was a bad game and i'm glad that they don't stock it anymore!

that graphics were ok but bad gameplay and everything else.

maybe i'm just not cut out for this type of game...

i had to make sure i was reviewing the right silent hill because i can't believe how much people like this game. i did like the first silent hill on playstation, years ago. then i tried silent hill 3 for PC and the camera system was so awful i just couldn't stand it. so i gave this one a try and it's just... boring! you walk around, see some monsters, kill them.. blah.. shooting them isn't very fun. gee, if i want to kill monsters, why wouldn't i just go play doom 3? it's dark. it's scary. it uses guns in a far better manner. so that means the only reason to play silent hill is to learn the story? then why not just go read a good book or watch a movie? or maybe walking around a town is fun.. but hey, i can put on my sneakers and walk around town!

No el mejor de todos, pero si que la gran mayoria

Excelente juego, pienso que de los mejores en su genero, en ocasiones se pone un poco tedioso por lo repetitivo de muchas escenas y por ende se te va toda la tension que traias despues de que rellenaste de plomo al ultimo mutante que se te cruzo por en frente y gracias a eso en muchas ocasiones vas perdiendole mucho el miedo a la cuestion, que me parece en si es el objetivo principal del Silent Hill (el de asustarte y mantenerte con la adrenalina al maximo en cada nivel), pero en general muy bueno.
