You then run into Angela, who is visiting the town to find her family, and your interactions with her make you feel like something is not right. In the first section of the game, you are running away from James’ car down a long, foggy path a genius way early on of making you feel alone. The first time you see James, he’s trying to psych himself up for going to find Mary as he doesn’t know what to expect as he goes into the town. What helps Silent Hill 2 stand up as one of the best games of all time (and potentially my favourite game of all time) is its atmosphere. Silent Hill 2 provides the best horror experience I have ever seen in books, films, or gaming James is looking for his wife, Mary, who, despite having been dead for three years, has managed to send James a letter telling him that she will be waiting for him in Silent Hill. Silent Hill 2 instead focuses more on the personal horror experienced by James Sunderland when he visits the town. If this sentence sounds like I only vaguely know what happens in the first Silent Hill game, it’s because I’ve never played it, and the cult does not appear in Silent Hill 2. The original Silent Hill was more in-your-face with its horror, establishing that Silent Hill is a haunted town, home to an evil cult trying to summon some form of deity. The creative genius of Masashi Tsuboyama and Masahiro Ito, the game’s Director and Art Director respectively, as well as the soundtrack composer Akira Yamaoka deserve special mention. The result is a game which is arguably one of the best of all time. This was back in the day when Konami still had a vague idea how to be a good publisher, so they left Team Silent free to use their creative juices without much interference.
Their first creation, Silent Hill, was massively successful on the PS1, and so Konami gave the developers known as Team Silent a larger budget to craft Silent Hill 2. In the late 90s, Konami assembled a team of developers to create a horror game based in the West in an attempt to eat into the Resident Evil market. Why are they redundant? Because the answer to all three questions is Silent Hill 2.
To give some examples of these types of redundant articles, the questions “Can games be art?”, “Are linear games dead?” and “Is the horror genre incapable of making good stories?” are examples of discussions that are simply redundant. When it comes to reading other articles about what makes a piece of media great, there are many journalists who seem to write rather redundant articles for clicks, instead of attempting to have an insightful conversation.
