Surreal love ballad in horror robe - ERSCHECKEND!

What if you throw Jacob's Ladder, David Lynch and Hellraiser in a pot and stirred vigorously? The result is surprisingly a video game called "Silent Hill 2". Already his indie predecessors fascinated the discerning horror fan with some of the most bizarre and grauenerregensten visions that have ever made wide in the brain gears of gamers. There has never been in video games to admire such a strenuous, ambiguous story that leads similar to David Lynch movies never really coherent whole, but the players at the end even more confused as at the beginning of the adventure.
The mysterious little town Silent Hill surrounds a mysterious riddle, because as veterans of the series know, it is still not clear whether there is Silent Hill really real, or only in the unfathomable convolutions of some psychopath.
Playful, the game is based heavily on the excellent predecessor. The combat system has been slightly improved and the level of difficulty of the action -as well as the puzzles range can be individually adjusted before starting the game on the personal taste of the user. An exemplary feature that should definitely make school. There is to do some very long walks, which are but thanks to the ever-present high voltage like to overcome. The puzzles are just as very well thought out in its predecessor, breathed again poetically and match the rest of the game and especially to the story like the fist on the eye. The total playing time is created quite short, what the story but additionally gives you strength and can thus be regarded as a clear advantage. In addition, there are at least 4 different endings (plus a winking Entwicklerjoke) that can, depending on how you behave in the game, at the end gets to see.
In the second part are atmosphere and story highlights of the game. The bizarre and surreal images burned directly into the retina and just do not let go. These images come to life with one of the most advanced graphic engines of video game history. In addition, the design of the graphics is very artistically decorated, and is reminiscent of works by painter Francis Bacon. Together with the unique music, a mixture of Twin Peaks sounds, totally depressed and melancholic ambient pieces and absolutely terrifying dark industrial sounds and the abnormal oppressive, realistic and yet fremnden soundscape, a truly staggering and paranoid overall mood of the one results now and then even want to recover times. In general I have to say that just the soundscape has failed all outstanding. The soundtrack in my opinion is probably the best in the entire video game area and the sound effects are the second to none. The true star of the game is yet another, namely the story. Never a video game was depressing, realistic, sad, scary and more geeigent for adults. It's about selfishness, guilt, murder, suicide, rape, discrimination, mental cruelty, sexual dissatisfaction, true love and death. Children should as far as possible away from this product. The story is very sophisticated, yet confused and mysterious enough to inspire even Lynch-trailers and of course fans of the first part. While Lynch more surrenders the images of violence in his films, Silent Hill is more a track and partially really deals with the human psyche and thus leaves a harrowing real impression.
Silent Hill 2 is a horror game that makes it clear where horror comes. Namely, that the deepest and most intimate human feelings are constantly harassed by an inhuman and increasingly hostile external reality.
Intellectual horror trip in the psyche of the people. What if crowding dreams into reality? The game makes the nocturnal perception and the sleep of reason into an aesthetic principle. It arranges his material to the coincidences of free association, surreal reality and fears of all kinds. For psycho freaks a godsend. The dark realm of the soul return here to the outside. The subconscious takes over section, light, sound and directing.
For the first time in the realm of digital entertainment succeeds developers to create a trip to hell by their own psyche, a disturbed psyche, dark pasts (rape, murder, guilt etc.) trigger post-traumatic experiences, determine what happens. Certainly not an easy conversation, but a faszinierener trip through the depths of a modern society.
With bizarre images and very oblique settings the game truly prepares headaches and anxiety. With few but frighteningly realistic dialogues and only backed by screeching noises and nightmarish music Silent Hill 2 is an absolute cult game that also stimulates thought and generally very depressed. Konami Tokyo succeeded with the successor to schockierensten game in video game history an extraordinary and haunting piece of media, and possibly the first true adult game. An independent factory somewhere between survival horror, love ballad, psychological thriller and drama art, worthy of discussion, absolutely bleak, and actually profoundly evil.
Should mention one another wonderfully oblique homage to the controversial genius "Blue Velvet" in Woodside apartment. Anyone who does not want to miss, as well as any other adult fans of intelligent, sophisticated and artistically valuable conversation with embassy should, as soon as possible bring this exceptional product.
