So it is no surprise to anyone that my yêu thích horror game of all time Silent đồi núi, hill 2. It’s been that way and it’ll continue to be that way for a long time. But with it’s awkward gameplay and acting, can I really put such a game in my hàng đầu, đầu trang ten yêu thích games ever? The answer is yes, and I just did.
Silent đồi núi, hill 2 follows James Sunderland, an awkward man who arrives to the town of Silent đồi núi, hill after he receives a letter from his dead wife, Mary. He meets all sorts of other characters there, like Angela, Eddie, and Laura, and a mysterious woman named Maria, and has to get through the town of disturbing monsters alive bởi any means. Silent đồi núi, hill 2 is a lot different from something like Resident Evil, at least in the later entries. It’s a lot thêm quiet, and the enemies don’t even resemble anything human. bạn have ones that are just walking mounds of skin and flesh, creatures that are a set of legs, and even the ones that do look human are so malformed and twitch violently that bạn still can’t help but feel disturbed. Everything about the monsters in this game feels so inhuman, and I tình yêu everything about that. The environments are also really interesting. The town of Silent đồi núi, hill is always covered in this thick fog, so bạn can’t see the monsters. All bạn can rely on is your radio to warn bạn when a monster is coming. But doing so brings the monsters toward bạn as well, so bạn gotta decide whether to keep it on to known when monsters are coming, hoặc keep it off and allow yourself to run passed them in the hopes of escaping. Other places in the town are as such, like the bowling alley where bạn can find Eddie eating pizza, the Heaven’s Night club where bạn just wander through this strip club with it’s own unique track, and the hospital, which slowly turns into a thêm screwed up version of Silent đồi núi, hill every một giây bạn sit there. And the characters have a ton of depth to them to. Maria looking exactly like Mary and seeming to know a whole lot about James, without specifically saying why. Eddie is in denial for the horrible things he does and bạn see his deteriorating mental state throughout the game. And Angela… Oh man, poor Angela. Even James has a bunch of guilt from his past that he keeps buried. And the music… Ooooh the âm nhạc of Silent đồi núi, hill 2. I know I talked about âm nhạc alot in this hàng đầu, đầu trang 100, but I really gotta keep talking about it, especially Silent đồi núi, hill 2, cause it is easily my yêu thích video game soundtrack of all time, up there with No thêm Giải cứu thế giới 2 and the #8 on this list. It’s so atmospheric, mixing in slow, soft đàn piano music, with the industrial rock soundtrack, and the occasional mess of steel and metal that makes bạn go, “What the fuck am I listening to”. The âm nhạc is something I listen to on a regular basis for how unique it is. I don’t think there is any soundtrack out there that can compare to the disturbing and depressing nature that is the world of Silent Hill. I could sit here and talk about it all ngày about the symbolism, the themes, and the beauty of Silent đồi núi, hill 2, but I already did that in a Corner of Horror article, so if bạn want thêm details on it, go read that, please.
Silent đồi núi, hill 2 is such a depressingly gripping game with a story and score that is so haunting, yet so real all at once. It’s a game that really gripped me with it’s storytelling, it’s beautiful soundtrack, and how it portrayed horror as this thêm psychological way. And of course, Konami had to go fuck it all up. Ugh, forget about Pyramid Head. Konami is the real terror of Silent đồi núi, hill 2.
