The four of them all have their own reasons for walking the streets of this nightmare town, and the emotion and fear they show all really help involve you in the story and get closer to the characters. From a fat guy that seems a LITTLE off his rocker named Eddie, to an annoying little brat that impedes your progress for the most part named Laura. Along the way, you meet up with an.interesting cast of characters, to say the least. James goes to the town Silent Hill to find the truth behind that letter and see if Mary is still somehow alive. The weird thing is, Mary was very sick and died two years ago. The story is that your character, James Sunderland, receives a letter from his wife Mary, telling him that she is waiting for him in their "special place" in Silent Hill. Silent Hill 2 has a very compelling story, one that actually makes you want to play through the game just to see what happens, and not for the horrors, but trust me - you'll be a bed wetter by the time you beat it. Sadly, I haven't played the first Silent Hill, but the sequel isn't a DIRECT sequel, meaning you don't need to know the story of the first game. Now, Konami have pretty much made the first three games their baby, and it really shows. This is the review for Silent Hill 2 if you haven't noticed yet, and I will be covering the PS2 Greatest Hits version, which has a new scenario, new weapons, a new ending, and improved graphics. Holy crap, they were right.but I'm getting ahead of myself right now.
Silent Hill is a series I am kind of getting into now, since my brother got me both Silent Hill 2 and 3, and I heard that these are some of the scariest games available.
