James Sunderland, who enters the town after receiving a letter written by his deceased wife, saying she is waiting for him in their "special place" in Silent Hill. Joined by Maria, who strongly resembles her, he searches for her and discovers the truth about her death. Silent Hill 2 uses a third-person view and gameplay places a greater emphasis on finding items and solving riddles than combat. Psychological aspects such as the gradual disappearance of Mary's letter were added to the game. More humanoid than their counterparts in the preceding game, some of the monsters were designed as a reflection of James' subconscious. Real-life references to history, films and literary works are found throughout this world as they things James is familiar with.

This is my favourite Silent Hill :) Very interesting game: excellent story, nice locations, classic gameplay, deep atmosphere, wonderful music (the music is good in any SH game), Most amazing feature is various endings.
