Just started playing this very creepy game,and have found it to be quite interesting and fun to play.The graphics are great;the voice acting is pretty good;the creatures are really cool;and the game has run flawlessly on my P4 computer,running Windows XP.This is not a fast-paced shoot-em-up,monster-fest like "The Undying"(Clive Barker's most excellent game)was,but it has enough going for it that you are eager to find out what other monstrosity lurks around in the darkness.
Back to the fog I go!

Greatest Game Ever.

this was quite possibly the best horror game ever made. SH2 has some of the greatest graphics ive ever seen, except for SH3...the effects the noises and characters have on you are stunning, and the creatures startlingly real. Pyramid Head provides the greatest entertainment, since he wears a doctor's trench, stained brown and red (O_o), wearing steel toed boots, white gloves, and carries around a great knife (or a spear, "pokey stick" as my friend and i like to call it!) But probably the most interesting thing i find about Pyramid Head is...well, his head....heh heh. A giant red steel pyramid just plopped up on there. You might even go as far as saying that he's sexy...if you want to see for yourself, ...

Did Not Work Well On My PC

When I would start the game, sometimes I would get a blue squeen and have to power down and start over. Sometimes the people in the game had no sound only words to read what they were saying. My PC has a AMD 64 Dual Core Prosser and 2 gigs of ram...

Extremely atmospheric and creepy (the indecipherable whispering coming from behind your right ear and moving around....brrrrr, especially at 2 in the morning, home alone with the lights off), very rich graphics, and beautiful music/sound. There are is one annoying oddity with the graphics though, and this might just be me, but the stray sliver of light behind you all the time when you have the flashlight on. About the only thing keeping this from a 5-star rating is the GODAWFUL --I repeat, GODAWFUL-- voice-acting (it's right up there with "Freelancer"; it almost makes you feel embarrassed for them), the finger-knotting controls (eventually you get the knack, but still...), and the camera which is not very intuitive at all. But definitely a great game and well worth the $.

Absolutely stunning graphics... though a little on the easy side

This is a great game. However,it is definitely a storyline game. As far as actual game play, it was too easy. I finished the game in about 10 hours because the bosses were easily killed and the riddles were ridiculously simple. I only played it in the standard difficulty mode so I would hate to see what the beginner mode was like. Maybe the difficult mode would be a little better, but once you start in the standard mode you can't go back and change it without starting the game over.
The graphics were much better than the original Silent Hill with complex, swirling fog, and shadows that move as you run around. I loved the creepy characters and atmosphere. This is one of the only games that has actually made my heart pound and my hands sweat. Overall, it was lots of fun, though I would have preferred a little more of a challenge.

incompatibility blues

this game (commonly) won't run in xp with ati cards. a driver problem i guess; prevented me from running it under bootcamp =(

apparently it likes nvidea cards (google search) but it wouldn't run on my vista laptop either that has this card (maybe it doesn't like vista?)

anyway, some older games like this need to either be revised to run properly on new pc's or just go away. i'm bummed after reading the great reviews -- but buyer beware regarding pc compatibility

Ehhh...Nothing new here...

I bought this game hoping to play a scary, exciting, action packed horror game, but was let down when I got through the first couple hours of game play. The game itself is well made. The graphics are decent and up to par for the year it was made, however, to me, the game has far too much "WALK AROUND LOOKING FOR CLUES" time and not enough "SHOOT THE MONSTERS" time. At first, I thought the game was creepy. The eerie sound effects and foggy atmosphere give the game player a truly on edge dread, but once you find yourself running in circles or trapped in the same area in search of clues that don't seem to serve any purpose it becomes a little boring and repetitive. Maybe I should have tried the game on HARD mode instead of NORMAL, but there didn't seem to be a lot of action throughout the game. If you want something spooky that has an overall gloomy and dark feel to it with only minimal action than this game might be for you. I found myself bored by it, but will give it 3 stars for the creepiness factor and the movie sequences, which I felt were well done.

Is one of the best games I ever played

This game is exelent, is the most scary game I ever Played. Resident Evil is so bored compared to this game. This game was made by Konami the best company of Games Ever. Good graphics exelent music and a story that maintein's you in a mysterious world. ...

I say make one for the psx because think of the people that just have a psx. Like me for example I'd love to get a ps2 but i just cant afford it right now.

One of the Best

This game is fantastic. The quality of the graphics are great (and it's Konami's 2nd SH game), the story is very well thought out, and the controls are easy to use (and learn).
I am not really the kind of person who liked to play "scary games" (i.e. Resident Evil) but there is something about this game that just makes you want to play it. I have played it and the words to describe the experience escape me. You just can't put it into words!!
I highly reccomend this fantastic game for the quality of graphics, the great story, easy controls and for the experience you'll get.
Hope this helped. =^..^=
