Let's get this straight: Silent Hill 2 is still the greatest horror game of all time. Near perfect atmosphere; intelligent story; complicated, layered characters; and probably the single most iconic monster in all of gaming - Pyramid Head. The port has some graphical issues and animation flaws, most of which were fixed with a patch, but you simply MUST play Silent Hill 2 if you're a fan of horror. And make sure you select the original voices to get the best experience. Silent Hill 3 is also a great horror, but there's a little too much action for my liking. However, there are some absolutely terrifying moments and they're well worth playing for.

There's no doubt that Silent Hill 2 & 3 are two of the best games of last generation of consoles. Plot, characters development, setting, atmosphere... all of this parts are awesome and trully recommendable. The problem is the conversion itself isn't very good. There are issues with the frame-rate and cut-scenes, the fog is messed up in Silent Hill 2 and you can say that the game plays itself worse than it did in Playstation 2 and Xbox. Overall, they are still amazing games, but if you have the originals, you better keep them and pass on this HD "collection". Finally, I still don't understand why Silent Hill 4 is not in this.

For me one of the best horror games play ever! In HD amazing for ps3. And very very good price.

loved it,, amazing,, got all of them,, x

A thrilling collection of one of the most aclaimed titles of PS2. The Sound and Quality are excelent. One title you must have.

Loved 1 & 2 from the past & never played 3, so this was a no brainer, 2's possibly the best of the series, looking forward to playing 3, reccomended.

Silent Hill HD Collection is excellent and with the new HD, it is even more amazing.

Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 on one disc. I didn't buy this for the sake of it being in HD but for the convenience of having them available to play on the PS3 after my PS2 died long ago. Both HD games have dialogue recorded by new voice actors when a lot of fans would have much preferred the originals. Thankfully both the original and new voices are available to choose between when playing SH2 but unfortunately not for SH3. There are also a few other niggles such as SH2's water effects looking bad in comparison to the original PS2 version and some needless sound effect changes which actually made one of the creepy moments less effective. In SH3's case the character tended to slow down a lot in the outdoor areas of the game. I've heard that there has since been a patch made available to rectify some of the problems though I have yet to use it myself. I would recommend the HD Collection if you simply want to be able to play these games on a newer console or if you have yet to play them ( Silent Hill 2 is generally considered the best in the series and has a very strong and moving storyline ) - just keep in mind that they are not quite the best versions compared to the original PS2 ones. I've marked the HD Collection as "Good" since both games are well worth playing and are great survival horror.

Silent Hill and Resident Evil were both phenomenal horror games with scary game playing and creatures, puzzles but Silent Hill 2 was one of the best of series, and the remake of this 2nd game is great dejavu after a decade. Downpour or Raccoon City were both disasters - horror game fans want more puzzles, more survival, more scary original scenarios. I don't think a horror game should look like an action or shooter game, because you can't feel the same as you did decades ago, if you just run with fully loaded modern heavy arms on hand. Silent Hill 3 was not that great, and was quite the same as the 2nd. I recommend you give it a shot, as it brings back some nice memories.

Excellent compilation to discover two awesome classics of survival horror genre. Enter Silent Hill, a town where fear is a permanent resident. And remember, in this city, nobody can hear you scream !
