I somehow managed to borrow a friends PS2 for tonight, so I walked out to the video store and rented Silent Hill 2. I loved the first one... it scared the little pissies out of me. Really creepy, horrific environment....
So I pop in the disc, set the options, and wait for the first movie... it was amazing. At least better than squaresofts cutscenes. Then I noticed the movie seemed to have stopped. I fiddled with the controller and was amazed to see the game had started! Thats right, I couldn't tell the difference between the cutscene and the actual game itself. I started in a bathroom. It was filthy, and oh-so-gloriously detailed. I leave the bathroom from the nearest door, and step out into the parking lot. There was some brief plot thickening happening, as my character stared out at the misty lake. Turning once again toward the parking lot, I walk up to a car. I open the door and take the map sitting on the drivers seat. Closing the door, I jog towards the stairs leading to a path in the forest. As I reach the last step, I become engulfed in fog. Remembering the first game, I knew this was a very bad thing. As I jogged through the forest path, I heard a very unsettling growl coming from nearby. Not having any weapon to defend myself, I sprint further down the path, and away from the noise towards an iron gate. Oh joy. A cemetery. I move toward the nearest headstone, and find a woman there. A brief interaction occurs, she tries to warn me about Silent Hill. How there is "something wrong with the town..." Being the doofus I so fondly call the main character, I proceed to another gate, out of the cemetery.
After a rather long walk, I finally reach the town. I come to an intersection. Already the town seems empty... but to my right, I see a very un-earthly, although human looking figure waddle quite quickly into the thickening fog. I immediately persue it...
This game is already impressing me. If you liked the first one, you'll no doubt get a bit nostalgic wandering this rather forsaken town. Especially Martin Street. Muahaha.
