Review: Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams

Review by PONGSIFU | 01/04/2002 | 12:21:04 PM PST

Konami takes you on another surreal romp through the suburbs of Hell in Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams.

With cinematic camera angles, a grime-infested aesthetic, and gruesomely glistening monsters, Silent Hill 2 improves on the original in every way. The lighting and shadow effects are amazingly executed, and though the story is a bit depressing, it will nevertheless keep you enraptured until the game?s conclusion. The use of sound to evoke fear and increase tension is flat-out brilliant. Even though the controls are a bit burdensome, it?s nothing that will detract from the overall quality of the game. Parents be warned: This game is absolutely, positively not for kids. Interwoven with the already disturbing foreground story are themes of very mature and very depraved nature.
