Instead of the brain-bending adventure with scares and gore that I had so desperately hoped for, it turned out to be a sloppy, monotonous bore that nearly put me to sleep.

Seldom has sound, vision, and control worked in such perfect harmony. Most players will find themselves wanting to play SH2 right after they finish it the first time.

I'll take SH2 [over "Resident Evil"] any day. Turn out the lights, turn off that damn radio and you'll see what I mean. It eats into your brain (mmmmmm.....) and you won't even notice how jittery you've become until the cat suddenly jumps into your lap and you fling your controller at the ceiling.

Ας ξεκινήσουμε με την ιστορια.Είναι σίγουρα από τις καλύτερες ιστορίες σε παιχνίδι που έχω παίξει στην ζωή μου , το plot twist στο τέλος είναι ότι καλύτερο.Η ατμόσφαιρα είναι επίσης το κάτι άλλο σε κάνει να νιώθεις σαν να είσαι πράγματι στην μέση του πουθενά αριστούργημα

A haunting and emotional survival horror experience. The atmosphere, music, and storytelling are unforgettable. A masterpiece that still sets the standard for psychological horror.

I reallly don't understand all the hype around this game, even back then. It's slow, It's boring to run around in the fog, and the combat is terrible. Even inside the buildings you can barely see a meter ahead of you, and the flashlight feels useless. The whole story relies on a final twist... Completely overhyped in my opinion, just a boring game. Honestly, I had much more fun playing Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil REQUIEM.

It uses a combination of sight, sound, imagery and imagination to create the scariest game on any home console. Turn off the lights, grab your controller and enjoy the horror of Silent Hill 2.

The team have used the superior pixel-pushing capabilities of the console to make this a truly terrifying game.

As far as sound effects go, they are some of the best ever found in a videogame.

With solid puzzles, a great story, creepy settings, the most disgusting monsters ever and puzzles that simply rock, Silent Hill 2 has gained my respect in the survival horror genre.

Quite simply, mature PS2 owners craving a creepy game that's perfect for playing with the lights out and speakers cranked, pick up a copy of Silent Hill 2 and you will not be disappointed. Clean underwear not included.

If the grainy, David Lynch ambiance doesn’t make your nads retract in terror, the four-legged headless guys in combat boots and leather thongs certainly will.

O melhor jogo de horror psicológico da história que influenciou tudo que venho após, como mídia de jogo na era PS2 e no cinema.
Personagens marcantes, todos com significados profundos pra narrativa, e principalmente, seu protagonista complexo, James Sutherland. (10/10)

I get that its the first game to do true psychological horror, so I'll give it credit for that. But it has to lose points for the twilight zone dialogue, mediocre level design and horrific controls. Even the story, I have to say, was rather predictable. The enemy design and how it ties into your guilt is definitely a really good concept, and revolutionary for the genre.

This games story is remarkable. A deep and amazingly well constructed story. Great environments and puzzles. However, the enemy design is lacking which ruins some of the game for me. The controls are also a major flaw.

I don't know why, it just doesn't seem interesting to me at all. The story is not anything to get shocked with. It seems to me like just the one of the "better games" back in the time it was released. But I am not going to give this a good review just because it's one of the first good games. Because it is absolutely boring, voice acting **** and the story just seems a bit exaggerated. And fighting those monsters for all the time gets very not enjoyable.
SummaryPlayers assume the role of James, who receives a cryptic letter from his wife (who has been dead for 3 years) beckoning him to meet her in Silent Hill, a place that holds great meaning for the couple. The mystery of the letter compels him to return to the surreal horror and all-too-real danger in Silent Hill.
