The sequel to the popular PSOne version. This game isn�t just another addition to the endless spawns of Resident Evil. Silent Hill 2 actually lives up to its name as a horror yet, entertaining game. Fans of the first installment will love this game, but other gamers aren�t missing an especially revolutionary game with Silent Hill 2.
The Pros
The Graphics
Taking a look at screenshots from magazines and the internet during the months before the game�s release, I knew this game was going to look impressive. I knew I was right as I watched the opening intro. You can tell the people at Konami spent a lot of time on the character modeling. Even in gameplay, the graphics are just astounding. Throughout most of the game, your environment is dark and grainy, which adds to the scariness of the game. Also the game�s "lighting" is very well done, with its cast shadows and top lighting (giving the characters a more freaky look.)
The Sound
Whether it�s the in-game�s eerie music or it�s heart-stopping sound effects, the sound will, at times, make you jump. I have always found a game�s sound to be very crucial to its overall credibility, and Silent Hill 2�s sound is a major plus. This game�s sound just adds more "freakyness" to the gameplay, which just makes the game hard to put down at times.
