About this product

Product Information

Silent Hill 2: Greatest Hits Edition is an expansion of the eerily immersive Silent Hill universe. Sony released this updated version of the original PS2 game Silent Hill 2 in 2002, and it includes new features and special endings. With its emphasis on character, psychology, and multiple storylines, this video game is an iconic example of the survival horror genre.This PlayStation game has a very complicated backstory involving a man named Harry Mason who is searching for his missing daughter. Eventually, Harry discovers that his town, Silent Hill, is controlled by a cult called the Order. Good and evil are represented respectively by supernatural beings called the Incubator and Incubus. This sequel continues the story of Silent Hill and introduces players to James Sunderland. James’s wife Mary dies just before the story begins. When he receives a letter from his dead wife, James feels compelled to visit the town of Silent Hill where he meets a mysterious woman named Maria. His relationship and misadventures with Maria give rise to a series of unsettling events and six possible endings.The story of James and Maria in Silent Hill 2 is the centerpiece of the Greatest Hits Edition for the PS2. Another story segment called Restless Dreams has also been added to the mix. This version of the game draws heavily upon conventions found in the works of literary horror masters and also references classic horror movies from Japan. The Silent Hill games owe a lot of their uniqueness to the fact that James is not a superhero. James is an ordinary guy without any special powers or abilities. He’s unfamiliar with guns and ammunition, for example, so he’s as likely to run away from bad guys as to confront them. Players are often forced by James's lack of skill to flee from enemies because he cannot survive much damage. This creates an extra layer of tension. Another factor that makes this game stand out is its wonderful soundtrack and graphics. The Silent Hill 2 soundtrack uses sound effects to foreshadow events in the game. Ominous mists and creepy decaying buildings all serve to fan the player’s sense of foreboding. The developers who worked on the Silent Hill games actually created their own 3D animation engines for the PS2 from scratch. This gave them the opportunity to experiment with slick texturizing techniques and to integrate original character models. The artists paid close attention towards details like facial expressions and the way light falls on skin. The result is a high degree of realism. The dream logic of this classic PlayStation 2 title results in some unexpected twists. Silent Hill 2 has several secret endings. Players can only reach these secret endings after completing the game several times and unlocking the first few endings. The game proceeds like an experiment in nuanced emotion, and each time you play it, you can experience a new version of the storyline. If you appreciate immersive video games, striking digital art, and extensive replay value, then you’ll enjoy Silent Hill 2: Greatest Hits Edition.

  • A masterpiece

    This is the best written game of all time. A brilliant story takes you through the fragility of the human condition, the dark depravity of selfish desires, and the terrifying abyss of the psyche. A true gem of mature gaming, where symbolism and mystery outshine the overdone blood and gore of typical M-rated fare. What a tour de force of emotions. If you haven't already done so, play it.

  • Fantastic condition!

    I was very impressed at how well taken care of it is. Including the booklet. Never froze and never caused any other problems. For a 2001 ps2 title, it still holds up to this day and is just as good now as it was then. Any game collector or horror lover should have this copy. So what are you waiting for? BUY IT!
