Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« In a game already so dark and visually menacing, the Xbox gives the phrase "jumping at your own shadow" a whole new shade of meaning. »
« With cinematic camera angles, a grime-infested aesthetic, and gruesomely glistening monsters, Silent Hill 2 improves on the original in every way. »
« A level of detail never before seen...This is the gold standard for adventure horror. [Apr 2002, p.62] »
« The people who will enjoy Restless Dreams the most are the ones who already own the game for PlayStation 2 (myself included). Gamers who never played SH2 before will not be able to appreciate all of the subtle differences, but they will be able to appreciate the graphics and the gameplay just as much as everyone else. »
« It's probably the scariest game of the last ten years, giving a face to the nameless horror that haunts many of our dreams. »
« Super-creepy antics frame a stellar storyline. [Jan 2002] »
« This game WILL shock you, it WILL scare you, and it WILL make you sleep with the lights on... it will PROBABLY also make you buy a Playstation 2 so that you can continue the journey into madness with Silent Hill 3. »
« As an entire production, it’s really quite brilliant, and couldn’t be more frightening. [Feb 2002, p.89] »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« The best psychological horror game in history, influencing everything that came after, both as a game medium in the PS2 era and in film. Memorable characters, all with profound meanings for the narrative, and especially its complex protagonist, James Sutherland. »
« O melhor jogo q já joguei na minha vida. Queria muito q existisse mais jogos que chegassem no nível em que esse chegou. Um terror que não precisou recorrer à jumpscares. Um terror que nos obriga a refletir. Simplesmente único. »
« one of if not the greatest not only games but pieces of media ever created ever by anyone »
« I have to admit, i've only ever played the first silent hill many years ago. Found this at a game store. I usually can't do horror games. As terrifying as this was, i was hooked. And ended up beating it. Great story, atmosphere and soundtrack. And i know that everyone says the ps2 version is superior, but nothing could take away from enjoying this masterpiece. And looks so damn good for a game that came out in 2001! »
« A representação dos medos de James e seus inimigos, sendo o próprio Pyyramid Head a representação dos desejos sexuais do personagem. A jogabilidade, puzzles, música... Uma obra prima, com a carta final de Mary tão emocionante ao ponto de fazer a dubladora da personagem chorar... Eu chorei, eu amei.... Perfeito »
« When video games meet art... This ''game'' is not just a ''game'' actually. You must try this for the story. Game mechanics is too old for today but the story is top level. »
« USER REVIEW: The soundtrack is simply perfect, the gameplay conveys a sense of agony and the relationship of the enemies with the plot is incredible! Silent Hill 2 is a survival horror masterpiece, probably the best horror game ever! About Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, the first version of Xbox, the game is still perfect! In Restless Dreams, the game contains a secondary scenario, BORN FROM A WISH. It is only recommended to play it after the main campaign is finished. Nothing more to say... 10/10! »
« The PS2 version was superior in graphics and performance. Silent Hill 2 is the second best game in the series, behind 3. It has a decent story, great atmosphere, and amazing soundtrack. A must play for survival horror fans, but I would recommend the PC version. »
