So it is no surprise to anyone that my प्रिय horror game of all time Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 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 चोटी, शीर्ष ten प्रिय games ever? The answer is yes, and I just did.
Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 2 follows James Sunderland, an awkward man who arrives to the town of Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 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 द्वारा any means. Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 2 is a lot different from something like Resident Evil, at least in the later entries. It’s a lot और quiet, and the enemies don’t even resemble anything human. आप 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 आप still can’t help but feel disturbed. Everything about the monsters in this game feels so inhuman, and I प्यार everything about that. The environments are also really interesting. The town of Silent पहाड़ी, हिल is always covered in this thick fog, so आप can’t see the monsters. All आप can rely on is your radio to warn आप when a monster is coming. But doing so brings the monsters toward आप as well, so आप gotta decide whether to keep it on to known when monsters are coming, या 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 आप can find Eddie eating pizza, the Heaven’s Night club where आप just wander through this strip club with it’s own unique track, and the hospital, which slowly turns into a और screwed up version of Silent पहाड़ी, हिल every सेकंड आप 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 आप 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 संगीत of Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 2. I know I talked about संगीत alot in this चोटी, शीर्ष 100, but I really gotta keep talking about it, especially Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 2, cause it is easily my प्रिय video game soundtrack of all time, up there with No और हीरोस 2 and the #8 on this list. It’s so atmospheric, mixing in slow, soft पियानो music, with the industrial rock soundtrack, and the occasional mess of steel and metal that makes आप go, “What the fuck am I listening to”. The संगीत 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 दिन about the symbolism, the themes, and the beauty of Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 2, but I already did that in a Corner of Horror article, so if आप want और details on it, go read that, please.
Silent पहाड़ी, हिल 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 और 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 पहाड़ी, हिल 2.
