    If i had to say which is the most perfect game of all time, "The Godfather" of video games, I would say it is "Silent Hill 2".

    Obra de arte, más allá de un survival horror es un thriller psicológico que transmite muchas cosas al jugador mientras se va avanzando en la historia. Un juego que eriza la piel y que demuestra que no hay monstruo más espantoso que el ser humano. Indispensable.

    One of the best horror gaming experiences of all time. Silent Hill 2 has an amazing narrative and unexpected and frightening moments that'll leave chills down your spine, it can also be very emotional that might leave you in tears. After nearly 20 years, it's still a must own.

    Silent hill 2 aint a regular horror game at all. We needa know 4 main thing bouta game to understand what Silent Hill 2 makes great things

    First - We say its a horror game, if u take a little look at the other horror games, u can probably see most of em makes "jumpscare" to scare the player. But we cant see any "jumpscare" in sh2. Game more use the athmosphere, sound effects or epic game

    First - We say its a horror game, if u take a little look at the other horror games, u can probably see most of em makes "jumpscare" to scare the player. But we cant see any "jumpscare" in sh2. Game more use the athmosphere, sound effects or epic game musics. Sh2 gives horror insidiously to player.

    Second - Sh2's way to show us the path we gotta go. In fact sh games doesnt directly shows us the path we ll go. We first look around then gets in a street, and see there's a blockade at the end of the road, then we come back and get in a building to pass the blockade, solving puzzles in building, baiting enemies.... more more. I mean sh2 doesnt say us the way like in other games' hint texts. Third - The story. Story.........If Sh2's story was even only a book, it could impress me. Aint no spoilers here but this mystrious story really goes very different. Story can be the biggest difference between sh and re.


    Fourth - EPIC SOUNDTRACK..... These re the MAIN things in sh2 i lov and show the game as 10 points. But sh2 is not limited with em, u needa play to got it. Really i needed to laud more the puzzels and more stuffs

    While not perfect, especially at mechanical level, Silent Hill 2 left such an impression on me that I can't give it anything else than 10.

En otras cosas su atmosfera es de las mejores te atrapa con esos sonido misteriosos y no sabes si lo que se escucha te atacara o tan solo es ruido de ambiente, lo concidero el Silent Hill con el ambiente mas pesado y obscuro, para no dar tanto spoiler solo dire que de los escenarios mas tetricos y mas pesados en mi opinion es la prision y el laberinto.

    El juego cambia drasticamene con la historia de la que vimos en el SH1, nuestro personaje es James Sunderland un oficisnista al cual vamos a controlar el resto del juego, el llega a Silent Hill con la intención de encontrar a su esposa muerta la cual le envio una carta diciendo que lo esperaba en "su lugar especial"

    El juego cuenta con unos excelentes graficos para su epoca, la jugabilidad se mantiene como en el primero, claramente los graficos mejoran mucho, tambien tiene el personaje mas mitico de la saga y de los videojuegos de terror en general "Piramyd Head" o "Cabeza de Piramide" Este juego aumentara el nivel de terror añadiendo un toque melancolico, la banda sonora es proporcionada por el maestro Akira Yamaoka el cual hizo un gran trabajo añadiendo mas melancolia con su temas sonoros.

    Dendremos personajes con historias la cual conoceremos como vayamos transcurriendo en el juego, el tiempo del juego en general es aceptable, ni muy largo ni muy corto, los puzzles no van a ser tan dificiles como el mitico piano del primer juego, hay una cantidad muy buena de armas y cada final que saquemos siempre va a coincidir con la historia que nos haya contado el juego (Exceptuando el final ovni y el final del perro)

    Definitivamente un maravilloso juego, con una gran historia, con unos de los mejores temas sonoros de la hitoria de los videojuegos, unos personajes muy carismaticos y definitivamente el mejor Silent Hill de todos (En mi opinión)

Not even Metal Gear Solid or other masterpiece series. Silent Hill 2 is probably best game ever made in entire univere. Too much detail in game.
    Example: Mary was sick at hospital and monsters are inspiration from her. When the monster spread acid this was the Mary's bad words when she and James was at Hospital.. or The Nurses are James fantazy flirt things back in hospital. And of course Pyramid Head. He is the make James suffer. And Maria final boss. When she start choke James this was Maria pain at hospital. Like I said too much detail.And after 20 years some players finding something.

    Tengo 19 años y pocas veces había escuchado de silent hill. Pero este año me decidí a jugarlo por primera vez...Es una experiencia increíble, cada aspecto del juego esta muy bien cuidada. He terminado el juego y creo que me han faltado detalles por darme cuenta, a pesar de ser de las personas que buscan en cada cuarto y pasillo.

Pero este año me decidí a jugarlo por primera vez...Es una experiencia increíble, cada aspecto del juego esta muy bien cuidada. He terminado el juego y creo que me han faltado detalles por darme cuenta, a pesar de ser de las personas que buscan en cada cuarto y pasillo. Es una obra con una historia trágica y con muchas referencias a cosas que llegamos a pasar en algún momento de nuestra vida. El terror se hace presente no por jump scares, si no por un terror psicologico y ambiental, la sensacion que llegas a tener en repetidas ocasiones es desesperante (en el buen sentido) ya que logras esuchar ruidos muy inquietantes, ademas de que los enemigos presentan una apariencia desagradable (los enemigos no son tan duros, pero dan mucho miedo) Creo que de las cosas que mas me han encantado a sido la música, por dios, akira yamaoka es un DIOS. Les recomiendo jugar esta obra en PC con la versión enchanced edition para una experiencia mejorada con buenos gráficos y sonido.
    En general, me parece un obra brutal aunque un poco corta y que en ocasiones, no te llega a explicar las cosas tal y como son, si no que las deja para que tu mismo saques tus propias teorías.

    Все 10/10! Не меньше! Это же Silent hill 2, как можно такой великой игре поставить оценку ниже. Я обожаю, что первую, что вторую, что третью части, но именно эта часть особенно запомнилась ещё более невероятной музыкой. Без музыки silent hill - не silent hill. Akira Yamaoka - потрясающий композитор! Этой игре требуется ремейк, также хотелось бы фильм по мотивам этой части.Все 10/10! Не меньше!

    A masterpiece, I love the atmosphere that it manages to create together with the soundtrack and the artistic direction, the story is excellent, although at first the plot is not very convincing, it ends up taking shape as the story unfolds. And as for terror, it manages to be scary even in empty corridors where there is absolutely nothing.

    И спустя более двадцати лет Silent Hill 2 актуален и не устарел. Да и в целом, ничто не смогло приблизится к уровню творения давно почившей студии Team Silent. Была скоротечна надежда на Кодзиму с его P.T., но увы...

No he llegado a ver el final del juego, pero puedo ponerle un 10 porque ningún otro juego tiene tal esencia como el de este. La historia es bastante entretenida, tiene puzzles complejos pero divertidos (y creativos), la forma de los monstruos/bichos que habitan por la ciudad son realmente perturbadores. Desde mi punto de vista este juego te puede dejar con muy malas sensaciones por el trasfondo de la historia y por el ambiente que hay en el juego, pero de eso trata un juego de terror. Nadie puede comparar este juego contra otro porque el terror psicologico de este, es sin duda, de los mejores de la historia de los videojuegos. Por otra banda, está la banda sonora, que es completamente buena y pega con el ambiente del juego, alguna de las mas destacables son "promise (reprise)", "True" o "Heaven's Night". Todo de 10 Expand

    Silent Hill 2 gets everything right about Horror. It knows exactly what to keep ambiguous and play up to the player’s imagination.
    It is so deep that almost every last little detail, from a wall's wallpaper, to a whisper that's just barely audible, and a radio's seemingly random burst of static, all has a profound and revealing reason to be there

    It improves the atmosphere of terror of the first Silent Hill and accompanies it with a story that shows us that the greatest terror is not the fictional monsters, but the real problems of everyday life such as illness and the loss of a loved one.

    Quite simply, mature PS2 owners craving a creepy game that's perfect for playing with the lights out and speakers cranked, pick up a copy of Silent Hill 2 and you will not be disappointed. Clean underwear not included.
  3. The game is one of the longer offerings Konami has offered on PS2 to date...[but] you'll still be left wanting more when the game is over.
