25) Silent Hill 2(I will be attaching links to any of my Top25 VG music posts to my Top25 VG list posts if they match, having the luxury of doing the former first).
https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=45829.msg2102612#msg2102612I played this game for about 30-60 minutes. That is all. On this note, I cannot really place this deserving game higher because I just didn’t play it. The atmosphere was that freaky to me, where I just said eff it.
I am not the smartest when it comes to figuring out things, and this game has so much in it that it’s hard to come away from one cohesive interpretation. Hearing a Letsplayer describe the room where Angela was with the pistons was enough to really detail this game, and how much goes into it- creepy and disgusting it may be. Watching videos and descriptions, and reading about it has been enough for me to say this is a top game. Even though my playtime on it has been so limited.
From what I gathered too, this is basically the consensus pinnacle of SH. My friends played SH1, and enjoyed it. And I was already late to the PS2 gen, so that's one of the reason why I just picked up SH2 briefly. I guess after SH3, it is mostly downhill.
So this is basically an atypical game on my list. I am basically playing it backwards- looking at interpretations, watching people play it, listening to the music out of context of the game (I bought the soundtrack). I do plan on legally playing this one day, when it comes to a device or Mac/PC I own. Although these days with Konami, I’m not holding my breath.
