Silent Hill 2

Silent Hill 2 - PS2

Pros Cons
Innovative concepts Lousy camera/viewpoint
Engaging story Unresponsive controls
Awesome audio Repetitive gameplay
Spooky

Now my pros and cons may seem like I should have rated this game less than I did. The way I see it, though, is that I should not rate a game like this based on fun. This game is more of an experience. It's very atmosperic and creepy and it keep you interested in seeing what happens next. It's like a creepy old horror movie.

Graphics: They are very grainy. Environments are a little drab and everything is covered in a mist of fog(which is fine, as it's supposed to be) The chracter models don't look horrible, but they do have a very outdated look to them. The cinemas look great though.

Sound: Very creepy ambient noises are abound! They make you cringe in your seat, and afraid to look to see what lurks around the corner.

Controls: God awful. The movements are very awkard and the action is slow and sludgy. The camera itself is often fixed to a point that it's annoying. I understand, though, that this game isn't so much meant to be "fun"

Story: A creepy story of a man who gets a letter from his dead wife to meet her in Silent Hill...just weird and creepy. I like it though.

Gameplay: Typical survival horror stuff. Run around hacking monsters and looking for keys to doors and special items. Kind of dull really.

Overall: This game is a great "experience" that may just creep you the hell out! Just don't go into this expecting a fun action romp.
