Players return to the eerie town of Silent Hill in an new story with new characters. Players assume the role of James Sunderland, who receives a cryptic letter from his wife - who has been dead for three years -- beckoning him to meet her in Silent Hill, a place that holds great meaning for the couple. The mystery of the letter frightens and confuses James, compelling him to investigate the surreal horror and all-too-real danger that awaits him.
Gameplay is similar to the first game. You walk around in the town of Silent Hill and collect weapons, health and puzzle-solving objects in an unlimited inventory. A radio alerts you when enemies are near. While the basic concept is the same, this is a part of town that was unexplored in the previous game and the weapons and enemies are mostly new as well. Of course, the graphical and audio presentation is given a major overhaul for the new platform.
Restless Dreams contains all of the content of the original release of Silent Hill 2 and adds several pieces of new content. The most significant is a new short scenario called "Born from a Wish" where players take control of Maria from her first moments right up to where she first appears in the main game. Also included is a sixth ending to the main scenario and a minor feature that allows you to turn off the graphical effect that makes the game look like it was shot on cheap film stock....

"#3 Chasing DelusionsAt first "Chasing Delusions" gives me the impression that I'm approaching something big, step by step. It can't be good but everything still seems rather 'safe'.
In the game, I believe, one finds oneself in narrow corridors. Under claustrophobic conditions James and Maria make their way to the exit elevator in the hospital. The music gains a bit more momentum, you can hear a heartbeat and the crisis seems imminent. That part makes my tension even worse, but this time the prem"

"Day 21 - Game with the best story.
Silent Hill 2, definitely. Of course, I'm bias but hey the game is lauded for its excellent story so its not like I'm alone in this. The strength of its story (and atmosphere) is enough to overcome its clunky gameplay mechanics. Likewise, as a really close second though:
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. It doesn't get a lot of attention, unfortunately, but I really loved the story of this one. So much so I do need to debate with myself time and again on whic"

"Why on Wii?: Yes, okay, I know there's a Silent Hill game for Wii, but Silent Hill 2 is probably the scariest game (or otherwise!) ever made by mortal man. Now imagine being able to react to the fear by actually physcially hammering away at the enemies with that rusty pipe. It'd make for some fun YouTube reaction videos, I know that much. Get gran playing and she might finally have some "movements" to talk about.
What special Wii features?: Some nice enhanced pointer puzzles, some Silent Hill: "
