Nice atmosphere, but could I get some gameplay?

I've always heard my friends talk about the "creepy" Silent Hill series. I had always wanted to try a Silent Hill game out, but it seemed every retailer I went to just didn't seem to carry these games other than Silent Hill 4: The Room. Finally I found Silent Hill 2 used in a small little gaming store in Houston. I bought it for $10 and was glad to see it was in perfect condition. Anyways, let's get on with the game and quit rambling about my story.
Now I went into this game not knowing anything about how a Silent Hill game works. The story is that of James, a man who receives a letter from his dead wife telling him to meet her in the town of Silent Hill. Hmmm, creepy enough. Anyways, your characters heads over to ol' Silent Hill and the story kicks off into a nightmare world full of odd, creepy monsters and demons, as well a lot of dark creepy rooms. The controls are rather awkard and can be pretty annoying. James moves in an odd fashion and combat is rather slow and clunky. The gameplay also has a lot of walking down endless corridors looking for open doors, only to go in the room and find a key for a locked door. It gets pretty tedious.This game is not meant to wow you with intense action anyways. The sound on the other hand is great! The audio is very disturbing and you often hear things in the distance that are much scarier than anything you face. The Graphics, though PS2 game, aren't bad. They have a grainy film look and creat a very disturbing environment full of atmospere. The story is a creepy tale, with many twists and turns until the end. I won't spoil anything, though.
All in all, if you are a survival horror fan, you may want to look into Silent Hill 2, but be warned there a lot of key fetching and bad combat and controls that make this adventure less fun than it should be.
