Nineteen years removed from the games initial release on the PlayStation 2, there is not a lot that hasnt been said about the now-legendary Silent Hill 2. Releasing just shy of two years after the original title was unveiled for the PlayStation 1, Silent Hill 2 finds itself in the strange realm of being not specifically a sequel, but also not opting to be a full-on remake of the original. Rather, it takes the thematic through-line of the original, along with the gameplay aspects and the overall aesthetic, and enhances them for the improved technology of the PlayStation 2.
