I'm a big fan of the Silent Hill series. My favorites are the first and Silent Hill 4 which for me, 4 was the best yet. One of the best and earlier running survival games. Everything you would expect from an SH game is in this one. Great story line, killer graphics for it's time, great music, very compelling. Plays great on original Xbox, but many experience glitches on Xbox 360. Definitely worth it! Enjoy!

If you're trying to run the game on an XBOX 360 there is a bug that prevents the game from loading if you save multiple instances on a single folder. You can still have multiple saves if you create a new folder for each one (the option that takes up more memory) and can still overwrite these saves. If you already own a copy of the game that can be read but isn't booting, go to the 360s hard drive and delete the existing data. This should allow you to boot the game once more. Graphical errors are a product of the emulation and not the disc itself. Hope this helps!

If you're a fan of survival horror, then you already know about the Silent Hill franchise. The first game was one of the first, if not the first, console horror games that successfully drew you into the narrative so deeply that the line between playing a game and experiencing the existential dread of the situation virtually dissapeared for large segments of a play through. Poor Harry Mason was never going to escape unscathed, and the reality of enjoying a palpable sense of doom was delivered in spades. SH2 delivers a similar experience, although of course, it can't quite summon that initial spirit of dread that the original provided. Regardless, it is a thrilling and similarly disturbingly pleasurable foray into existential dread, and does feature the value-add of the legendary and totally unnerving Pyramid Head. The 2003 Xbox release offers the most complete version of the game, including a separate mini-game that the original PS2 disc did not include. Opinions may vary, but for the core experience, the fact that this version does not have the 'updated graphics remastering' of subsequent releases is very much a feature rather than a bug! Highly, highly recommended!Read full review

Silent Hill 2, in my opinion, is where great survival horror begins and ends. Second to none in atmosphere, story, and character development. Just like the fog within the game, once you're in the game you'll get lost in it. Forever lost in Silent Hill.

This game was very very good. What I liked best about it was the soundtrack. If you don't want the game, I highly recommend getting the soundtrack. Everything about the game was scary in a strange way. Instead of having some zombie eat your face off suddenly (Like a sudden scare), you would enter a basement that was actually a morgue that was covered in...dolls? It's disorienting. This kind of scare though isn't for the violence loving people though. There are not too many weapons, and there are also not too many action scenes. It is mostly solving puzzles and listening to a really great story. This game is for people who are not in a hurry to be thrilled.
