whats so scary about this game?

I thought silent hill 2 is scarier. Silent hill one didn't scare me, it just pissed me off a lot of the time time cuz of the amount of monsters.

And I thought there was enough ammo to kill most of the monsters I saw. In Resident Evil or Dino Crisis, you have even less ammo...

You were swimming in ammo because you were playing in Easy (you wuss)!
Play it in normal and you'll have a little more than what you need. Play in Hard mode and then you'll know what we are talking about.
What made this game very scary for me is that I set up the mood. Back in the day, a friend of mine told me to play it, so I started in the day time. I found it cool, but I didn't get far. Then I played it a 2am with all the light off and headphones. Oh man! Those graphics are kind of bad, but I think that makes your brain make up for it because the corps, the metal floor and those bloody walls looked pretty spooky to me. Not to mention the scary jumps. Both movies have good stories. SH2 didn't scare as much as the first one, but that was a badass twist it had at the end. And fighting Pyramid head for the very first time was one of the mose unpleasant moments I have ever had xD! But I think SH1 did a better job of putting you in his shoes. Imagine losing your only doughter?

SH1 was the most scariest game I'd ever known, until i get hooked with Siren...

Silent Hill 1 is by far the scariest game I have ever played. Silent Hills 2 and 3 kind of tie it for me. Silent Hill 2 might have actually had more thrills, but when they tied in Silent Hill 3 with Silent Hill 1, that was a twist that I wasnt expecting. The worst in the series I thought was The Room. Of course, being a game that had the title "Silent Hill" threw on it at the last minute, I wouldnt have expected it to live up to Silent Hill standards. It was good, but rather than going in and out of Alternate Silent Hill at random, kinda ruined it for me. Thats one thing I dont like about Origins. You pick when you go in and out, but only because its necessary to get from one place to another. So, I guess it kind of works out in the puzzle aspect.

I strangled the life out of her. It was the greatest thrill of my life...

I dunno, the idea of being practically alone in a castle and having to run and hide from a psychopathic monster while not being able to actually fight it off is a lot scarier than walking through a dark school that has good atmosphere but hardly any real scares to back it up. I can't quite pinpoint what it was about silent hill that made it so it wasn't scary (it was more just a depressing atmosphere than anything) but I think it had a lot to do with the fact that while I was playing it, unless I killed just about every enemy I encountered, I died. That got old really fast for me..

Try playing alone, in a pitch black setting, past midnight, with headphones, deafening sound and don't leave/take breaks for a couple of hours..
and be on hard mode.

I think the Silent Hill series is most scary when you have the least experience.
My first play through of Silent Hill 2 took me about 6 weeks.. I could never continue without freaking out with all the noises and feeling Pyramid Head would run behind me and stab me..

after that I haven't ever been as scared with any of the games (SH3 was not as subtle, so you get used to running everywhere anyways)

i never get freaked out in silent hill 2.
i dont know why people says sh2 is the scariest of the installment.
i just love the storyline and soundtrack in sh2.
The monster in sh2 just so *beep* easy to me,there is no high speed monster or flying monster.Dont forget the main character "james" has a godkick,you can shoot nurse in two bullets of handgun instead the nurse falling apart and james ends the show with godkick.
whats so scary with pyramid head?
And i found pyramid head is just too funny for me,he's always toying with james
i know the monster is the manisfestation of james heart,well its cool i thought.
if you had a pyramid sword you can finish the boss with 3 slash.
Oh man so fu**ing easy!


i found sh 1 is more appealing to me.
The mix of all the element in perfect circumstance.
atmosphere,storyline,character development,the difficult of the game,the mosnter variation,and so on.
Sh2 only wins in soundtrack and the grafic.
And SH1 is the second game makes freaked me out after clock tower.

Haunting Ground?
oh thats a lame horror game for me.
Deadspace,Clocktower,SH1 and fatal frame are the survival horror game that gets me.

thanks for the tip sendo jr I will give a try
