SILENT HILL 2 is the second installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series produced by Konami.While the game is staged in the series' namesake town,it is not a direct sequel to the events and characters of the first Silent Hill game and is staged at an undetermined date between it and the third game.This entry takes insight into a new character,James Sunderland who enters the town after receiving a letter written by his late wife Mary,saying she is waiting for him in their "special place" in Silent Hill.The game is shown from a third person perspective with various camera angles available for different areas of the map.Much of gameplay consists of navigating the town with less focus on killing enemies and more on finding keys or other items to bypass doors or other obstructions.Occasionally puzzles will be presented often with riddles left for the player to interpret.The difficulty levels of the enemies and the puzzles are determined independently,giving players the option of having weak enemies while being faced with extremely cryptic riddles or vice-versa.The music of the game was composed by Akira Yamaoka...
