Positives:
1: Atmosphere: It's all of Silent Hills the quietest, because in this part they wanted to let the fear arise very slowly because even silence can have something uncanny and you will also find super hinbekommen. Mostly it is all the time very quiet, but be in between then excellent shock moments ascended make a really afraid. The part is designed for very little action but really lives only by the quiet, gloomy, eerie atmosphere and the great story. I find the atmo is very well done even if you are traveling often in the light one has all the time a constant worry, and that's just great. Atmosphere of the extra class.
2: Story: It's probably the best, most sophisticated, most moving and most evil history of the video game world. Very emotional and exciting, the story is just great. Especially the letter will be read at the end has been extremely well-written, which went into full heart I even burst into tears, which was an overwhelming moment I'll never forget and has remained all others who have played it guarantees in mind, and when a game manages to bring men to cry, then I think sometimes the best sign of a grand game and an excellent story.
3: Characters: These have been designed with great attention to detail and all have their own story which one also finds in the course of the game, they are all interesting and contribute significantly to the atmosphere just made super.
4: Graphics: Here in the Director's Cut have been made further improvements to the graphics, the graphics are great on PS2 and enthusiastic. Since you have given to real trouble.
5: soundscape: Of this little is available because it is mostly very quiet because of the horror slowly, to be created slowly and especially in the head of the player. But the existing sound effects are great and provide in unexpected places for goose bumps when they break the silence, just great and the songs are terrific, Akira Yamaoka precisely.
6: Control: For many too blunt and imprecise but I find the control well, it is precise and the good camera work helps that the control well of the hand is because the control is also determined by the position of the camera, you can the well off in the options. I find the control well, so that everyone gets along immediately with no problems.
7: Bonuses / ends: As in any Silent Hill there are different ends and bonuses for several times playthrough. Especially legendary here is the Dog end the only one there was in all parts of Silent Hill and thus it is a rarity and definitely worth seeing. For each a fitting end this is I'd say my favorite is the end of Maria da me Maria is still grown by your companions in the game to my heart and I just think that for the optimal end. All ends well done when they are very short, unfortunately most.
8: Features of the Director's Cut: Not only that the graphics has been improved and new collectable items and weapons were built, no, you have also an extra scenario that you can play, it says Born from a Wish and you play there Maria. This extra game only takes about an hour but it's fun and it examines in more detail the person Maria and is just a nice addition. In addition, the UFO is switched on by the end conclude that extra game free that there is as far as I know only the Director's Cut. So it is definitely advisable to Director's Cut to buy and not the normal version.
Now the negative.
Negatives:
1: Playing Time: Because the game is so awesome I would have liked that it goes a little longer, I got the very first time playing level used by 7 hours, I found bad enough, the second only 4 games and a half hours, shame but for the few hours of extremely high quality and captivating.
That's it to negative because this game is absolutely awesome and therefore only one point of criticism but is actually quite meaningless but nevertheless should be mentioned. This second part is particularly suitable for people the other Silent Hill parts, especially the first, found too dark and creepy, here is a little quieter to the point but still there are many good shock moments. It's just a great game and nichrt vain with many players at No. 1. Silent Hill forever
