Silent Hill 2 Remastered تختيم لعبة الرعب بارت 3 والاخير
1Silent Hill 2[b] is a 2001 survival horror game developed by Team Silent, a group in Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and published by Konami. The game was released from September to November, originally for the PlayStation 2. The second installment in the Silent Hill series, Silent Hill 2 centres on James Sunderland, a widower who journeys to the town of Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his dead wife informing him that she is waiting there for him. An extended version containing an extra bonus scenario, Born from a Wish, and other additions was published for Xbox in December of the same year. In 2002, it was ported to Microsoft Windows and re-released on PlayStation 2 as a Greatest Hits version, which includes all bonus content from the Xbox port. A remastered high-definition version was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2012 as part of the Silent Hill HD Collection.
Work on Silent Hill 2 began in June 1999, soon after Silent Hill had been completed. Its narrative was inspired by the Russian novel Crime and Punishment (1866) by Fyodor Dostoevsky, and some of the influences on the game's artistic style include the work of film directors Adrian Lyne (specifically Jacob's Ladder) and David Lynch, among others, as well as painters like Francis Bacon and Andrew Wyeth; cultural references to history, films and literature can be found in the game. In contrast with the previous title, whose narrative concerned cult activity, Silent Hill 2 focuses directly on the psychology of its characters.
Silent Hill 2 received critical acclaim. Within the month of its release in North America, Japan, and Europe, over one million copies were sold, with the greatest number of sales in North America. During release, it was widely praised for its psychological horror story, use of metaphors, symbolism, and taboo topics, overall atmosphere, graphics, monster designs, soundtrack and sound design.[1][2][3] However, it received criticism for its controls and voice acting. It is considered to be one of the greatest horror games ever made and among the greatest video games of all time, as well as a key example of video games as an art form.[4] The game was followed by Silent Hill 3 in 2003. A remake was announced in October 2022.[5]

The objective of Silent Hill 2 is to guide the player character, James Sunderland, through the monster-filled town of Silent Hill as he searches for his deceased wife. The game features a third-person view, with various camera angles.[6] The default control for Silent Hill 2 has James moving in the direction that he is facing when the player tilts the analogue stick upwards.[7] Silent Hill 2 does not use a heads-up display; to check James' health, location, and items, the player must enter the pause-game menu to review his status.[8][9] Throughout the game, James collects maps, which can only be read if there is sufficient light or when his flashlight is on.[8] He also updates relevant maps to reflect locked doors, clues, and obstructions,[7] and writes down the content of all documents for future reference.[8]
Much of the gameplay consists of navigating the town and finding keys or other items to bypass doors or other obstructions, with less focus on killing enemies.[7] Occasionally, puzzles will be presented, often with riddles left for the player to interpret.[7] The difficulty levels of the enemies and the puzzles are determined independently by the player before starting the game.[6] James keeps a radio with him, which alerts him to the presence of creatures by emitting static, allowing him to detect them even through the thick fog or darkness.[8] He also tilts his head in the direction of a nearby item or monster.[6] For combat, he finds three melee weapons and three firearms over the course of the game, with another two melee weapons unlocked during replays.[6] "Health" restoratives and ammunition can be found throughout the game.[8]

Setting
While not focusing on the characters and plot threads of the first Silent Hill game, Silent Hill 2 takes place in the series' namesake town, located in Maine.[10][11] Silent Hill 2 is set in another area of the town,[12] and explores some of Silent Hill's backstory.[10] The town draws upon the psyche of its visitors and ultimately forms alternative versions of itself, which differ depending on the character.[note 1][13] The concept behind the town was "a small, rural town in America"; to make the setting more realistic, some buildings and rooms lack furnishings.[16]
