I might buy this since konami is releasing This and Silent Hill 3 on the Xbox 360 as part of their HD collections. I just wish it had Silent Hill 1 and 4 included but beggers can't be choosers. At least its coming to the 360.
@Cyborcat I looked it up a bit more and they completely updated in-game voice-overs but the good news is that you can switch between the original and new dub as a option. So I might pick it up since it come out in December.
@0LycanFX It's not a done deal yet, but Konami is working toward having both sets of voices in the game. I do hope they follow through. Silent Hill 2 with updated graphics sounds awesome, but only if I get the original voices with it ^.^
Just want to say thank you Dena for being such a voice of reason. :D As a person who also think James is good-looking (and constantly mocked for it) and a lover of PH, it's nice to see that there's someone who "gets it". I hope that doesn't sound too conceited. XD But yea, PH is way overused and I'm really sick of people hating on James just because of going to SH with a letter from his wife. >:/ If someone I loved enough died, I'd go anywhere with a chance to see them again....
@GoddessOfAnubis It's alright, I know what you mean--the fandom is very split on different ideas, and it's very easy to come across people who are as big a fan as you are, yet their opinions are completely at odds with yours and it can get a bit frustrating, which I think is part of what lead me to make these videos in the first place--to hopefully find (or create =P) like-minded Silent Hill fans.
@GoddessOfAnubis And yah, some people don't quite get that a lot of stuff in the games isn't meant to be taken at face value--it's supposed to make you think.
@Cyborcat Exactly. Especially since I'm the only person I know that thought the ideas behind SH4 were interesting! XD I love symbolism, and that's probably the only reason I would pick SH over RE, though it's a really hard decision and depends on which games exactly. :3 Also, thanks for replying so fast, it always makes me smile when someone I really admire responds to these little comments I leave. :D Thanks Dena! And I can't wait for your videos on Origins and Homecoming. >:D
I kinda wanted to ask, what's your thought on the whole "There was a HOLE here, it's gone now" thingy at Neely's Bar? From what I've heard, the hole was suppose to be like the psychological mind holes you have to jump into to get through Toluca Prison.
Hmm.... I detected the problem. I can't link the video's url because Youtube tells me to shove it every time I try. That's why my reply wouldn't post no matter what I did.
@RosieSquall Oh, that. It's just a silly side game like the arcade game and all those little phone games that came out in Japan. I see no reason to worry about it.
Dena, you did a wonderful job with this videos. Too bad you stopped in number 4. You should really do SH Origins, Homecoming and Shattered Memories. BTW, what do you think about the upcoming multiplayer SH?
@MoshAdam I actually talked about it at length in my podcast over at TGWTG. Just go there and look under "Podcasts", "HorrorCast". It's the one at the top.
Okay, with my previous comment, I'd like to address something. I meant the PC version of SH2, not the PS2 version. Still, the PS2 version of SH2 only got a 7,7?
One thing I love about the Silent Hill series is that it's combat always feels like self defense. In most other games, you eventually get enough firepower that you can just plow through the enemies. In Silent Hill, the monsters never stop being a threat and you have to make every shot count.
She's technically already did a review but it was for Still Gaming on SashaNein's (Lee's) Channel. It's a pretty decent review but she dosen't go into great detail such as the Game Den episodes but she covers enough in it to strike interest. Type in "Still Gaming - Silent Hill" and you should find it.
the thing about a few of the silent hill games, such as 2 and 3, was that sometimes the characters mouths would just grow huge when talking, which was weird, usually only happens with the female characters as well. And i know that this is a japanese game, i've played other japanese games as well, but the lip movements were not as big.
@Cyborcat while i hate the repeated use of PH (like in homecoming) i thought it was at least nice to make a different char in origins (the bucher is like PH in what he does and how he does it but is also different) oh and box head too of course XD
@Cyborcat I'll explain/elaborate a bit more, 'cos that seemed a bit vague perhaps. When I got the "In Water" ending (my first playthrough), "Angel's Thanatos" played over the credits. Same w/ the next playthrough, which had the ending where James and Maria leave Silent Hill together. However, when I got the "Leave" ending where James leaves Silent Hill with Laura, "Overdose Delusion" was played over the credits.
hey cyborcat, have you ever seen the noisy hill videos? fan made re-dubs done with a good understanding of the plot, very funny, clever and made by a true silent hill fan, check em out on youtube everyone
I was watching g4 tvs coverage of E3 2010 and they said something about a silent hill 2 remake in the works and that its not for the wii its for the ps3 and 360 i wounder if its true.
how come you dont like silent hill shattered memories.in shattered memories it is just a personal story about a father trying to find his daughter.no cults.
@gamerboy218 When did I say I didn't like it? The game hadn't even come out yet at the time, and I still haven't played it--after then, I'll decide whether or not I like it.
@blackholeindustries Sort of. Apparently they take the characters from the first game, completely change them, and take out the backstory about the cult.
@blackholeindustries I won't be doing Part 2, since I don't like it enough, but I'll probably cover it quickly at the beginning when I do Part 3 (and no, I don't know when that'll be =P)
1. I have a ps2 and if i can hook it back up to my television i am going to get Silent Hill 1 - 4, i noticed on your SH videos you noted that SH2 has basically nothing to do with SH except for the setting, So which silent hill do you recommend i play/get first, SH or SH2, or even SH4? I want to play SH3 after SH and/or SH2.
2. Will you be doing SH4 for this years halloween?
e of the best reviews ever, seriously. This game is incredible. The story is great, the musik even greater and I love how the "levels" are all somehow related to the protagonist. They are not just your every day survival horror environments. From all Silent Hill games this will always be my favorite. I would love to see more SH reviews like this one (and your SH3 review). Are you planing on doing more of them? :3
SH2 was my favorite SH of all time... I found the series after SH3 kinda... well, uninteresting. Like you mentioned, the use of PH in later SH like the shitty Homecoming, the movie etc made me rage HARDCORE. Since I had to write a SH essay of about 40k words, I looked up the meaning of PH and the use of him in later SH just seems unreasonable, to say the least. The symbolism in this game, the places, the monsters, the characters, it's so unique, no wonder it's my favorite. Oh and SL2 FTW~! =P
@Cyborcat Hey this tdoesn't hav eanything to do with silent hill but I recomend you Laura Bow the colonel's bequest since you like old pixeld games. :)
@itsnotozzyitsozzy indeed, he was very confused with the movie, homecoming, the arcade game. he had that look that said "who am i suposed to punish? i'm going on a murderous rampage untill someone tells me"
@KingOfHalla he was james' personal tormenter, a physical manifestation of a picture he saw. or are you going to say he saw a picture in silent hill's historical society years before going? 'sides you forgot the arcade game
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I half-agree, the dialogue (particularly Mary's ending monologue) is basically shit. Voice acting? Shit. The story is mostly good through visual metaphor, i.e. the sexualized monsters representing James' sexual frustration.
Haha, you're kidding right? I can understand if you don't like the voice acting/dialogue, but Mary's ending monologue is probably the best voice acting I've ever heard in a video game, and the most emotional on top of that. I know it's subjective, but seriously.
in my opinion, homecoming is a silent hill game in name only. If you don't think of it as a silent hill game it's okay but ultimately turns into hostel towards the end of the game. The game seemed to just be a 'oh see what we did there!' game and just reference the other games and instead of working towards the plot it just felt gimmicky
I love tis game but something really embarassing happened to me and It was related to the game.):
I was doing a music legends presentation It was all great until the end where I decided to have a little tribute to Akira Yamaoka I thought It was gonna be great but when I did that part everyone lost their attention and ended making and embarrasment of myself :/ in top of that I putted the silent hill 2 intro but no one took It serious and the theacher ended up cutting the presentation D:.
and in top of that the theacher thought there was a sexual content in the intro and almost punished me,then the rest of the day I felt really angry,man I should had used some of those washed up artist they have now.
what do you think is the least scary silent hill game? I'm new to survival horror and i dont think i'm ready for the really scary ones. P.s. Box head is hilarious!
The story was a big let down towards the end of silent hill homecoming.....i would like to see what you thought of the story in a review or just a quick comment because you really understand the series as a whole.
I just might do that--I've given up on playing the game, but I'm still curious how the story plays out, so as soon as I'm done with the current Game Den I'm working on, I'll go and look up all the cutscenes for Homecoming and just see how the story turned out.
this game is so sad, near the end when mary is speaking to james when he's walking down the long corridor. im litrally sobbing, u can almost feel for the character, its definantly one of the few best games iv'e ever played. i almost hope that they do a film of this but its going to have to be done by an AMAZING DIRECTOR. but the 1st silent hill movie was pretty much BOLLOCKS. they done a good job SLIGHTLY in terms of story, but they changed WAY too much, it should of been HARRY, NOT ROSE.
Tho, I don't mind the idea of changing things--I'm mainly annoyed that the changes made it cliche' and convoluted (and yah, giving Harry the shaft was not cool).
yeah of course, i understand that they had to change a few things in the movie, but for the other games like ' origins ' where u stated that they are almost depending on Pyramids character to create ugly fuckers like ' The Butcher ' and again they have repeated the same thing in origins and homecoming with the Lying figure/Smog monster... they just look the same.
Geez can't stop watching this in the wait for shattered memories, I really hope that it will be great and it's looking good so far :O. It's Bullsh't that we have to wait even longer to get it in Europe though :( Great work! *again*
Silent Hill 2 is one of the effing best games ever made. Haven't played it in a while though, should do it again instead of bringing things from the game into the real world haha.
Ah, that reminds me that I have to finish making the first aid kits, Happy Burger ad and poc water cans...
I really like how you are telling about this game, great job!
Dena you're awesome, thanks toy you i got motivated to play SH2, i'm about to finish it, the thing is i first got this game for xbox but it didn´t work properly, one year later y bought it for pc, i got to the first save and never played again, until now, i played yasterday for 7 hours and y loved, Thanks again Dena, grat review
That's great, glad to hear that you played and loved it.
I had kind of a similar experience with SH3--started playing it, couldn't get into it for whatever reason, then put it down and all but forgot about it until several months later. Then I started over, and found that it was awesome. You just never know, sometimes.
so sad I started playing this game and could never finish it because, well... it wasn't mine... it was my cousin's and we didn't do anything that wasn't fighting so I couldn't really play his PS2 much but I played untill the end of the hotel and it was awsome, I liked it more than RE but we got a gamecube because my brother loved RE and he wanted the ReMake....
Man...I definately have to try this game out. I've watched the movie before, and I got to say, if they based the movie on the game( I think I read somewhere that they tried to make it as close to the game as possible)....I gotta ask...did they actually PLAY this game before making the movie?
soul reaver was one of the best games ever for the ps1!!! and is that a teddy of the cat from trigun on the desk? damn I would love that!!!
anyway i'm to much of a pussy to play the silent hill games,i don't mind resident evil and the like but silent hill is just to damn freaky, shame too because they have such good storylines:(
Yep, that's the kitty from Trigun. I actually didn't know what it was from when I bought it--just saw a crazy-looking adorable little plush kitty and had to have it. I've since seen Trigun since, tho.
I have NEVER played a Silent Hill game ever. But if I wanted to play the games, would you say that this is the best one to start on ?(considering this ones a bit easier to find than the first one)
huh, this is the first time I heard anyone mention Soul Reaver (one of my favoite games) neat^^. anyways, I've started playing silent hill and I find it pretty cool, though my obsenely overactive imaganation sorta forces me to play in short bursts ~^^~. oh and great review
you know mary was only dead for about a week i found that interesting when i looked silent hill 2 up

I half-agree, the dialogue (particularly Mary's ending monologue) is basically shit. Voice acting? Shit. The story is mostly good through visual metaphor, i.e. the sexualized monsters representing James' sexual frustration.
Armchair6 2 years ago
Haha, you're kidding right? I can understand if you don't like the voice acting/dialogue, but Mary's ending monologue is probably the best voice acting I've ever heard in a video game, and the most emotional on top of that. I know it's subjective, but seriously.

Pyramid head is awesome BUT he is NOT the main reason why Silent hill 2 is awesome!!!! (So don't kill me!)

in my opinion, homecoming is a silent hill game in name only. If you don't think of it as a silent hill game it's okay but ultimately turns into hostel towards the end of the game. The game seemed to just be a 'oh see what we did there!' game and just reference the other games and instead of working towards the plot it just felt gimmicky

It wasn't as bad as 0rigins, from what I played, but I didn't much care for it.

I love tis game but something really embarassing happened to me and It was related to the game.):
I was doing a music legends presentation It was all great until the end where I decided to have a little tribute to Akira Yamaoka I thought It was gonna be great but when I did that part everyone lost their attention and ended making and embarrasment of myself :/ in top of that I putted the silent hill 2 intro but no one took It serious and the theacher ended up cutting the presentation D:.

and in top of that the theacher thought there was a sexual content in the intro and almost punished me,then the rest of the day I felt really angry,man I should had used some of those washed up artist they have now.

i really love how silent hill feels very relatable like you said like in part 1 i mean i think any parent would go threw all that for their child.

the first game is definitely scarier, but the story itself in Silent Hill 2 is miles and miles ahead of the first. it's a better game overall

what do you think is the least scary silent hill game? I'm new to survival horror and i dont think i'm ready for the really scary ones. P.s. Box head is hilarious!
jwah1411 2 years ago
Out of the ones I like, Silent Hill 2 is the least scary, IMO.

The story was a big let down towards the end of silent hill homecoming.....i would like to see what you thought of the story in a review or just a quick comment because you really understand the series as a whole.
iam0zero0 2 years ago
I just might do that--I've given up on playing the game, but I'm still curious how the story plays out, so as soon as I'm done with the current Game Den I'm working on, I'll go and look up all the cutscenes for Homecoming and just see how the story turned out.
Cyborcat 2 years ago
Just watch Jacob's Ladder. Its basically a much crappier version of that.
Also, thanks for the review convinced me to go out and buy Silent Hill 2 and I gotta reeeeally loved it.
IsaacD1987 2 years ago
this game is so sad, near the end when mary is speaking to james when he's walking down the long corridor. im litrally sobbing, u can almost feel for the character, its definantly one of the few best games iv'e ever played. i almost hope that they do a film of this but its going to have to be done by an AMAZING DIRECTOR. but the 1st silent hill movie was pretty much BOLLOCKS. they done a good job SLIGHTLY in terms of story, but they changed WAY too much, it should of been HARRY, NOT ROSE.
Rilyn666 2 years ago
Thank you!
Tho, I don't mind the idea of changing things--I'm mainly annoyed that the changes made it cliche' and convoluted (and yah, giving Harry the shaft was not cool).
Cyborcat 2 years ago
OMG i cnt believe that u responded :) sorry....
yeah of course, i understand that they had to change a few things in the movie, but for the other games like ' origins ' where u stated that they are almost depending on Pyramids character to create ugly fuckers like ' The Butcher ' and again they have repeated the same thing in origins and homecoming with the Lying figure/Smog monster... they just look the same.
thanks for the response :)

Silent Hill 2 is one of the effing best games ever made. Haven't played it in a while though, should do it again instead of bringing things from the game into the real world haha.
Ah, that reminds me that I have to finish making the first aid kits, Happy Burger ad and poc water cans...
I really like how you are telling about this game, great job!

That's great, glad to hear that you played and loved it.
I had kind of a similar experience with SH3--started playing it, couldn't get into it for whatever reason, then put it down and all but forgot about it until several months later. Then I started over, and found that it was awesome. You just never know, sometimes.

so sad I started playing this game and could never finish it because, well... it wasn't mine... it was my cousin's and we didn't do anything that wasn't fighting so I couldn't really play his PS2 much but I played untill the end of the hotel and it was awsome, I liked it more than RE but we got a gamecube because my brother loved RE and he wanted the ReMake....

Man...I definately have to try this game out. I've watched the movie before, and I got to say, if they based the movie on the game( I think I read somewhere that they tried to make it as close to the game as possible)....I gotta ask...did they actually PLAY this game before making the movie?
Well, now I'm off to ebay!

soul reaver was one of the best games ever for the ps1!!! and is that a teddy of the cat from trigun on the desk? damn I would love that!!!
anyway i'm to much of a pussy to play the silent hill games,i don't mind resident evil and the like but silent hill is just to damn freaky, shame too because they have such good storylines:(
