Description

Silent Hill 2 is a survival horror video game published by Konami for the PlayStation 2 and developed by Team Silent, a production group within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo. The second installment in the Silent Hill series, the game was released in September 2001; an extended version of it was released for the Xbox in December of the same year as Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams in North America and Silent Hill 2: Inner Fears in Europe, and for the PlayStation 2 in 2002 as Silent Hill 2: Director's Cut, with a port of Director's Cut to Microsoft Windows released in December 2002. Silent Hill 2 has been re-released multiple times, including under the Greatest Hits label and as part of The Silent Hill Collection, while a remastered high-definition version of it was released for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360 on March 20, 2012.

James Sunderland has just arrived in the town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter apparently sent from his late wife, Mary. The letter states that she is waiting for him in their "special place", the town of Silent Hill. Determined to discover the origin of this strange letter, James travels to Silent Hill to search for his wife who should no longer exist, only to soon realize that the town no longer resembles the peaceful place from his memories.

Silent Hill 2 was positively received by the audience and critics. Within the month of its release in North America, Japan, and Europe, over one million copies were sold, with the greatest sales in North America. English-language critics praised the atmosphere, graphics, story and monster designs of Silent Hill 2. It appeared on several critics' top lists for its story and use of metaphors, psychological horror and taboo topics.
