Testimonials from residents of Silent Hill
"Silent Hill 2 is the definitive horror experience of all time. No book, movie, game or other peice of media comes close to this masterpiece in terms of visceral fear. (With the possible exception of the first Silent Hill) It succeeds in inducing a sense of claustraphobia and dread that is simply unparalleled in entertainment. It leaves one with a profound feeling of terror that will remain long after your PS2 is powered off. Anyone who wishes to be frightened into a state of paralysis need look no further than this."
"Anyway, the game is in a word... disturbing. It's actually hard for me to play it for too long. I actually start hoping for death (or for my character's death) so I don't have to open anymore doors and face unknown evil. I get weirded out and then I have to play Madden 2k2 again to bring me back so I can continue on."
"This is the creepiest game I have ever played. I only play in short sessions because it's simply too intense. After an hour I just don't want to go any further because I don't want to see what horrors are in store for me round the next corner..."
"From the beginning, the game is unsettling, and it is relentless in its tension. As the game goes on, I found that it was becoming psychologically and even physically taxing to continue. Every encounter with a monster left me tired. It's not that fighting the monsters were difficult in gameplay terms, but their movements and sounds created a nearly paralyzing desperation. All of the twisted imagery, jarring sounds, and unending anxiety really wore me down. But it's just a game, right? Sure, but the guys at Konami tapped into virtually every conceivable factor that makes one afraid, and they mercilessly hammer at you. The visceral impact of this game is nearly incomparable."
"Every time I see the monsters in this game I freak out. Even writing about them is scary. The way they move, and the way they look. It's literally impossible to describe them to you."
"By the 6th hour of playing, you'll seriously want to somehow turn the gun he is holding on your character just so They can't have the satisfaction of driving him insane anymore and so he can escape this Hell."
"The way distant objects emerge from the fog as you walk is astonishing. I have been inside old, tattered, and damp abandoned buildings in real life before, and the ones in this game is right on cue. The way your flashlight rips through the black air and illuminates the horrible and all too realistic world of Silent Hill, will transport you right there to walk the streets, tread the hallways, and fear the shadows."
"I swear... I haven't been afraid of the dark since I was 5 years old, but playing this game at night with all the lights in the house turned off and the sound turned all the way up is a truly frightening experience. Plus, the characters you encounter are all so...sick..that, after my nightly gaming sessions, when I would stand in front of the mirror brushing my teeth before going to bed, I often looked at my reflection and doubted my own sanity."
"This game will make you sit, staring at your TV trying to figure out who in the Konami development team hates you so much and why they put such horrible, horrible things in a video game to drive you to insanity."
