Silent Hill 2 - PS2 Game (Retro Fam)

I just got this game... and I also just finished it. It is pretty short compared to games I'm used to playing... but I also thought it was worth playing at least once. A bit outdated, but you get attached to the characters. Not really screamably "scary", but it's still best to play it in the dark, because the game overall has a creepy atmosphere. There is A LOT of walking around and opening and closing doors... some may not be able to handle that without getting really bored really fast. This is not an action-packed game. One must have a certain amount of patience to play it. DO NOT get this game if you are a gamer who relies on smooth controls, fast pacing, and fantastic graphics to enjoy a game. This game is more for people who can appriciate a game in terms of the era it was created, love the culture of "scary", and, like I said, have a lot of patience for clunky controls, slow pacing, and outdated graphics. I have to say, the makers for sure chose the best settings for the game... abandoned mental ward... abandoned prison.... abandoned apartment building... in an abandoned town. Yeah, pretty much everything is abandoned- unless you count the dozens of barfing(?), leg-kicking monsters infesting stretches of never-ending road. I think that this game is worth a try... but some might be disappointed if they pay a hundred dollars for it. I say find it cheaper somewhere, then decide if you really love it. Silent Hill 2 is an acquired taste.

Great game

Atmospheric and Eerie, Silent Hill 2 gives you everything that you have come to expect from what could become a very successful series. The areas that you must explore, from the haunted hotel to the harrowing hospital are as spine chilling as anything that you will have seen before, or probably ever will again. The only problem that I have with this game is that the enemies are repetitive and you see the same ones over and over again. Also the replay value is extremely low, unless you want to see one of the four or five different endings. Otherwise getting through the game the second or third time is awfully boring.

Near mint silent hill 2, what else can i say? Amazing game. I'd consider this one the best out of the whole series. Thanks.

Amazing game, and possibly one of the best of the Silent Hill series. My personal favorite of all the games.
