Randy M. gave it a9: Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams has the power to utterly terrify you in ways you couldn't even imagine. With superb visuals, insanely creepy and subtle music and sound effects, and a good control scheme, Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams will give you nightmares for months to come.
Grace S. gave it a 9: It's high on scares, surprises and detail but it is also high in monotany. You'll quickly get annoyed at the dodgy camera angles and all you do with run through rooms finding keys and other random items. Not so tough if only the places weren't so dark and complex. Anyway Silent Hill 2 isn't just a horror game, it has excellent drama in it too. It's quite long but not that long. You can also play as supporting character Maria in her own frightening scenario. The graphics are very realistic, especially the Baldwin Mansion. I loved staring at the lake at the beginning. The trek into town was made long on purpose to make you feel isolated. Silent Hill 2 is better than any horror movie I've seen. Buy this if you love a good scare! 10/10.
Graham M. gave it a 9: This game is great but not as great as the original.
Nicholas B. gave it a 10: Great Graphics, great story, little disgusting but still great, though not as good as Halo.
Ralph G. gave it a 10: I just bought it. It's hellatight!!
Alex K. gave it a 3: The additional episode actually serves to degrade the value of the game's main story in my mind. By putting players in Maria's shoes, she becomes a sympathetic protagonist who exists on her own merits, which eliminates the interpretation that she is a part of James' personal experience in the town. Surprisingly I would recommend that PS2 version over this one. (P.S. The central game is completely intact here and just as good as the PS2 version, which is really good.)
Shawn gave it an 8: Although the only real fault is the somewhat clunky combat and cliche' puzzles, the real focus of SH2 lies in creating an atmosphere that engrosses players in a realm of great fear and disturbance that will affect you like no other game. I highly recommend this unique game to anyone who wants a deep psychological jar. It might not be fun, but man it's cool.
Cosmo G. gave it a 9: Hot Title! Creepy Mood, Check it out!
Kevin M. gave it a 4: This was a good game, but the monster bashing took away from what could have been a good puzzle game, Silent Hill definitely wins in that respect, the puzzles were much better.
