Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams

"The best game for XBox right now!!!"

I know. Alot of you won't agree with me! Who cares? This game is as good as the PS2 version in every possible way. There is nothing wrong with it. Every body gets mad if there's a PS2 game that comes to the XBox. Well, too bad! The graphics are quite a bit better in this version of the game. This is a reason to give the XBox some attention. This has to be the best game for XBox available right now! This game beats the original in almost every way.

Graphics: 10 Simply brilliant! This is a bit of improvement over the PS2 version. The environments look the same. The characters are a bit better looking. The lighting effects are awesome. The dark environments in places add to the horror of the game. The monster designs look great too! It is certainly going to be tough to beat these awe inspiring graphics.

Sound: 10 Breathtaking! The sound is what makes the games suspense. Hearing monster's sounds nearby makes you a bit nervous which is good. This is what makes the game better than most horror games. The weapons also sound great (Especially the handgun). The voice acting is the best I've seen in quite a long time. The sound is what makes this game very freaky.

Value: 10 This game has plenty of value. In fact, completing the game can get you a whole bunch of stuff: Weapons, new endings, etc. This game is also very scary (I can't say that enough). It is worth the $50 for sure. The puzzle solving adds more difficulty to the game to get to new areas or to release certain key items. It's nice to be rewarded for your efforts if you beat the game after months of struggle!! Probably the best value a game could ever have.

Overall: 10 A perfect game! Everything is great. This a game you must add to your XBox collection. The game shines in every way from graphics to difficulty. Trust me, this isn't a game where you kill some monsters and make it near the end in one day:) You must buy this game! This game is not for the weak of heart, believe me. For anyone who is a fan for the show Barney and Friends, this is not the game for you (Unless you are a hardcore gamer like me!) You must put this game in your collection!
