The Silent Hill series is my favourite series in games, and is my first love. The only ones that come close are Castlevania, Shenmue and Resident Evil for consistancy. (And any Mario platformer of course).
Silent Hill 2 is my all-time favourite game. Why? I've copied and pasted the conclusion of a long review I did for gamefaqs on it.....
Is SH2 the scariest? Many say that SH1 or SH3 are, for SH2, the only SH game to be a standalone story from the other two and with more focus on psychological horror, they may be right. But horror is different for everyone, its classification is always distinct for each person and that is why the genre is so popular. It feeds and exploits our base fears. SH2 is a beautiful and raw vision of horror. One man's journey into hell. A game that makes you think about it after you switch off is A GREAT GAME. There is something far more frightening with psychological 'mind' rape that Konami have produced with SH2, it's intimate, unforgiving, a reflection of truth and our innermost demons.

I love the SH series. I'm really addicted to video games so I've played a good deal of them, but no other series has had such an impact on me.
And it's not only because of the spooky scenes or the scary monsters (super creeps ^_^), it's all because of the disturbing atmosphere, the deep and complicated plots and, above all, the characters: particularly in SH2, they were so complex, so tortuted, so true to life, I really loved that aspect of the game.

Patience is the key to all things Pat unless you are being shot at and then you are screwed. But good choice Patrick, since this is most definetly the best installment in the series

Hellbound, Hellbound, Hellbound. I give you that SH2 does have a deep, dark and interesting story. Much like most good horror movies or games. In my opinion SH2 had something it didn't bring to the table. A GOOD ENDING! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. Sure Silent Hill 2 brought us right back into the heart of the town we explored in the last game with a tortured man who is trying to find answers to who killed his wife. Yes, I was having so much fun up until the ending. You killed your wife. I repeat, YOU KILLED YOUR WIFE. You smother her with a pillow to end her pain and this entire time you are searching for yourself. CRAP! The ending sucks. On top of that, the ending boss battle didn't make much sense either. I just say Konami could of done better

I just say Konami could of done better Joe, there were 6 ending to the game. Is that not innovative by it's presence, that James's fate could be formed by your very own actions? Each ending was significant and very well done, some even ironic. The game has Pyramid Head, inho the best villian in a horror game there has ever been. Nothing in that game is black and white, and that's why I love it. Maria for example, she is a tragic creature that is borne from the town's evil (if we can define it as that), or more appropriately, the darker psychosis of James. The end boss is excellent and far more imaginative than in SH1 (which is also a classic imho). You get to battle against James's very realisations, the horror his mind has been shirking....a twisted reality and abomination of his dead wife Mary. Those last few words after you defeat the boss, when she whispers "James...James..", they are truly haunting and are what classic games are all about these days for me. It will forever stay in my mind. |

I still say that it sucks, they basically want you to finish the game and I don't like that. There is no ending to it even after the credits roll. ^hats why I dont like it
