"Overall, with its flaws, Silent Hill 2 is one gaming experience no one will be quick to forget. It uses a combination of sight, sound, imagery and imagination to create the scariest game on any home console. Turn off the lights, grab your controller and enjoy the horror of Silent Hill 2." Review by Slasher Thrasher with screen shots.
"The graphics at first may seem to be a little too grainy, however the atmosphere created from it is pure genius." Review with screen shots.
"The biggest flaw of Silent Hill 2 is that it's on a par with Silent Hill -- better in some ways, weaker in others. SH set its standard by being a great leap beyond other horror games of its era; SH2 repeats the standard, but doesn't repeat the great leap. Ah well. "On a par with Silent Hill" is still a fine reason to play a game."
"Seldom has sound, vision, and control worked in such perfect harmony. Most players will find themselves wanting to play SH2 right after they finish it the first time." Review by Miguel Concepcion with rating and screen shots. Includes consumer reviews.
"With a unique and interesting story, mind-blowing graphics, incredible soundtrack, great gameplay and FIVE endings, it's hard to find fault with Silent Hill 2." Review by Louis Bedigian with screen shots and rating.
"It's an experience that, excuse the Chaucerian, is sure to freak the crap out of you." Review by Doug Perry with screen shots and rating.
"If "Resident Evil" was likened to "Night of the Living Dead," then think of Silent Hill 2 as "Twin Peaks," minus the damn fine coffee, but plus the atmospheric gloom and cast of insane deviants, with the entire mixture then taken out back into the woods, shot, hacked into small chunks, and buried." Review by David Hodgson with screen shots and rating.
"With a team 60 sickos working overtime on this title, one can be certain that the technical aspects of the game will be fantansmagorical. But what of plot and such. Do not fret, even if the story is as shallow as a tide pool (which of course it won't be) the flash light alone has more depth, with the advance lighting and real-time shadows, than an Ingmar Bergman flick. I'm already scared." Preview by Tolkiemingway, with screen shots.
"It's ballsy, creative, and not afraid to be different. Not everyone may like it, but make no mistake: as far as horror goes, this is as real as it gets." Review by Matt Weise and Mike Doolittle with rating. Includes screen shots, gallery and message board.
"It was a little slow at times and the control issues were frustrating, but the great story, incredible atmosphere and just plain creepiness made it all worthwhile." Review by Rob Madison.
