A good dream gone bad. Silent hill 2 was a game I looked foward to playing. Seeing that the first one was very good and filled with b-movie atmosphere.Turn off the lights and kiss three to four hours of you life goodbye.The people at Konami once again made a game rich in atmospere and sound. Giving you a feeling on being alone in a deserted town of Silent Hill. Everything is there to make your eyes pop open and take in the experience. It has swirling fog that moves around as you run through the town.Monsters in the game will give you the creeps, like the whored up dead rotting nurses that try to cave your skull in. Unfortunatetly, that's where they stopped putting thier heart and soul into the game. The storyline is some what intersting in a twilight zone of a way. The downward fall comes in the form of game play. It simply is not all that demanding or compelling. As I was running around with my pistol equipped in the lush environment of Silent Hill I asked myself on more than one occasion, when will this game suck me in? will it suck me in? what other game do I have to play? I don't know what you people look for in a game.If it doesn't have good gameplay,I don't care how awsome it looks. It's like looking at pictures. The bottem line is if a game doesn't pull me in, I lose sleep over it or forget where the last six hours of my live have gone...it's not all that great.
