Which Silent Hill version to get?


Whiskers

Recommended Posts

Got a new PS2...yada yada...anyway, I want to get Silent Hill 3, but I'm thinking that I may start with SH2 instead. I've read from some that they felt 3 is excellent, but that 2 was their fave.

 

OK...If I start with SH2, should I get for the Xbox or feed my new PS2 some classic gaming?

 

Thoughts?

should I get for the Xbox

 

 

Theres your answer:). The Xbox version is the one to get. The PS2 Greatest Hits includes the Born From a Wish scenario but the lighting and graphics are a tad better on the Xbox game IMHO.

Its fine here or in general discussion.

Obviously this is a personal and subjective opinion, but I would rate them:

 

#1 - SH1

#2 - SH3

#3 - SH2

 

Of course, having absolutely no expectations about the series, SH1 had the most impact, the sequels just modified what was already there (improved graphics, new story, etc.)

 

I would suggest that if you want the proper background to SH3, then play SH1 first. They have interrelated stories, whereas SH2 is a tangent to the SH universe. Otherwise, play SH3 or SH2 straight up, a lot of it isn't intended to make sense on an initial playthrough (IMHO).

 

So I would play either SH1 or SH3, then return to SH2 if you liked what you played.

Well, after reading Snake's post above, it appears that I may be doing things a bit back asswards....anyway, I ended up getting SH2 for Xbox on the weekend. I had never played a survival horror before, and Romier's posts on HTF etc. had really peaked my interest. I've only played an hour or two, but so far so good! :D

 

SH2 in 5.1 rocks....hearing things behind and to the left etc is quite freaky.. :shock: everytime it happens I swear I feel my asshole tighten..too much info, I know.

 

Later,

Stacey
