    In a game already so dark and visually menacing, the Xbox gives the phrase "jumping at your own shadow" a whole new shade of meaning.

    With cinematic camera angles, a grime-infested aesthetic, and gruesomely glistening monsters, Silent Hill 2 improves on the original in every way.

    The added scenario is fun but short, taking roughly one hour to complete. Yet the main scenario's graphics, storyline, bosses, and mysterious atmosphere are big plusses, and there are several times when you’ll find the hairs tingling on the back of your neck.

    Just as good as Silent Hill 2 on the PS2, but has a different scenario that is almost imperative to play.

    Great Graphics, great story, little disgusting but still great, though not as good as Halo.

    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.… Expand
