STAFF REVIEW of Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams (Xbox)

Sunday, November 30, 2003.

Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams Box art SH2 is one of the creepiest games I have ever played. Overall it's a very immersive game that'll have you hooked until the end. However, it is not without it's flaws. My main complaints were that the controls never felt right to me, there was not much variety in the bad guys, and the ending was a little confusing. But there are a ton of positives. The story is solid, the setting is terrific, and SH2 is genuinely scary.


The story was very good (until the end), but the contols never felt right to me. I got used to it after a few hours, but still never liked the control system.


This game shines in the visual department. It creates a perfect mood to fit the game and keep you on the edge of your seat.


The sounds are excellent and very creepy. I like the use of the static to tell you when a zombie is near.


Suggestions:
Make the controls better. More diverse enemies.


Overall: 9.0 / 10
Gameplay: 8.0 / 10
Visuals: 10.0 / 10
Sound: 10.0 / 10
