Silent Hill 2 (2001) Description
Silent Hill 2 is a third-person perspective action horror game meant for adults only. Initially, Silent Hill debuted on PlayStation and generated so much interest that the sequel was released not only for consoles, but also for PCs.
The protagonist is a man named James Sunderland. One day, he receives a letter from his wife, Marry. She wishes to meet him in a town where they had spent holidays many years ago. Everything seems perfectly normal, just a usual romantic meeting that brings back memories from the days when their love blossomed. Turns out that there is a small “problem” – Marry died three years ago. The players, as the protagonist, have to solve the mystery behind this enigmatic invitation.
The action of Silent Hill 2 is inspired by such works as “Hellraiser” by Clive Barker or “Jacob’s Ladder”. The whole is full of omnipresent atmosphere of terror and fear, while our hero is surrounded by darkness and bloodthirsty monsters. In this exciting adventure, we will visit many locations, including a deserted apartment complex, an old prison and a hospital. We will vanquish our enemies with such weapons as revolvers, shotguns, hunting rifles, swords or studded clubs.
