Silent Hill 2 is the best and most successful part of the series and the most sold. The Silent Hill series is known for its strong graphics and its distinction from other games. It was one of the strongest games in graphics on old devices, if not the strongest! Silent Hill is characterized by the strength of the facial features of the characters, and this is the strongest feature of its graphics. It is also characterized by the accuracy of the environment graphics, such as wrecked cars and abandoned buildings. It is also characterized by showing fog in a very wonderful and frightening way at the same time, and you will feel a wonderful feeling when you turn on the light in a dark place. The game also excelled in the monster graphics, as it is difficult to draw complex and strange monsters in an accurate and terrifying way at the same time! Even the movement of the monsters is realistic despite its strangeness! , and you will feel terrified when you see a monster from a distance and see it walking in a strange way! , In addition, the silent hill series is characterized by improving in every new part in many aspects, including gameplay and graphics. In the old generations, the game provided us with very strong graphics and exploited the device's capabilities in an imaginary way in terms of bearing graphics! , The game makes a strong leap in graphics between each part and another. One of the most important elements in horror games is the sound element? ..No horror game succeeds without great sounds, and the meaning of sounds here includes many things, including the voice performance and the suitability of the character's voice with its role, the sound track, the sound of weapons and monsters, etc. But the most important thing that a horror game must master in the sound element is the sound track, and this is what the Silent Hill series was distinguished by with the creative composer Akira Yamaoka, who is considered by fans of the series to be one of the most important lists of success in the series, as Akira presented us with many types of audio trailers, including music and terrifying sounds during the game, and emotional and sad music during sad and influential events, and this man worked with Konami for a long time, and participated in the work of many parts of Silent Hill, and according to what Akira Yamaoka said that the best work he presented for him personally is what he did in the game Silent Hill 2, as he will not forget those memories that he spent with other game developers. The Silent Hill game is shown from a third-person perspective, with different camera angles for different areas, the player's view faces the back of the character being played with a playable character. The gameplay consists of wandering the town and its alleys, with less emphasis on killing enemies and more on finding keys or other items on side doors or other obstacles. Occasionally puzzles will be presented, often with puzzles left to the player to interpret. The difficulty levels of enemies and puzzles are independently designed, with players given the option of weakening enemies while confronting them with a vague puzzle objective or vice versa. Like the original game, James keeps a radio with him which alerts him to the presence of creatures emitting static, allowing him to detect what may be attacking him even through thick fog. The sound of the static will change slightly depending on how many creatures are approaching and moving away from the player. There is a total of six weapons available, three of which are hand-held weapons and three are firearms. The weapons are as follows: a wooden plank obtained from a construction site, a steel pipe that lies in the hood of a car, a weighted knife used by Pyramid Head, a small pistol in a shopping cart in the apartments, and a shotgun found in a closet. In the hospital, a hunting rifle was found in the prison; the distinctive weapons are a chainsaw or an electric saw and it affects to different degrees depending on the enemy, and also depending on the player's rank which is evaluated according to his completion of the game if he has completed it before. Fighting monsters is not necessarily the focus of the game, but there are six main monsters. The lack of weapons and their weakness are reasons that make you confused and tremble in horror games, so what will you do in your first encounter with a terrifying enemy and you have a very weak weapon? ..It is the most reason that causes terror in the hearts of players Weapons in the silent hill series are divided into three sections: - Strong firearms, but you rarely find ammunition for them, so you must think carefully before using them - Weak hand weapons, such as knives and so on - Escape, that escape is the most appropriate solution in the silent hill game Yes, escape is the best option, because you will not benefit from fighting monsters except getting rid of them, you will not get ammunition or specific weapons from them, but you will have to fight sometimes .. Name: Wooden Plank Simple description: There are short spikes at the end of the weapon, not very strong but easy to use Name: Handgun Description: You can load 10 bullets in one ammunition, not very strong compared to other firearms, but it is the easiest to use Name: Steel Pipe Description: You can hit it with 3 strong hits in a row, not very strong but useful for some enemies Name: Shotgun Description: You can load 6 bullets in one ammunition, it is characterized by strength and the ability to kill more than one enemy with one bullet if the enemy is weak Name: Hunting Rifle Description: You can Loading 5 bullets in one ammunition, it is characterized by reaching long distances and is very powerful Name: Great Knife Description: It is the weapon of the pyramid head, very large, difficult to use due to its weight, but very powerful Name: Chainsaw Description: Very powerful and characterized by high speed Three years after her death, James Sunderland receives a letter from his wife telling him that she is in Silent Hill. The story of the couple James and Mary Their story begins with them going on vacation to Silent Hill and staying at the Lakeview Hotel, and then Mary became very sick in this hotel, so she was transferred to a hospital outside Silent Hill, in the hospital Mary was taken care of and Mary met a little girl who was sick with her in the same room, this girl is Laura, after that when Mary's illness became so severe that she would not live more than a month, the doctor told James that Mary could return home for the last time, so Mary did not have time to say goodbye to Laura Mary wrote a letter and left it with Rachel, Laura's nurse, and after two weeks of Mary's return home James began Annoyed with Mary for her excessive nervousness and the ugliness of her appearance from the diseases and also she told James that she wanted to die but Mary did not mean what she said because she was angry she changed her mind, after Mary said this, James killed Mary, James was very hurt because he killed Mary, after this act James suppressed all thoughts related to his killing of Mary for three years, and he said that the diseases were what killed her, and after three years James received a letter from his deceased wife Mary, after that James decided to follow the visit of the truth, James went to the city of Silent Hill hoping to see his wife Mary, during James' visit to the truth Silent Hill helped and sent Maria the alternative version of everything in Mary: Maria has a sudden mood just like Mary, Maria screamed in James' face then cried and told James not to leave her alone just like Mary always does when she returned from the hospital and screamed at James because he left her alone in the hospital and did not care about her and did not visit her. So Silent Hill punishes James by making him see Maria being killed in front of him always so that he remembers his deed With Mary every time, so Silent Hill punishes James and gives him four options to atone for his mistake: which are of course the four endings of the game: either to confess to killing Mary, and this of course, or to kill himself, finally, to collect the four Crysmon tools that bring the dead person back to life and bring Mary back to him and live with her in peace. Maria was and still is the best character and she works in Heaven's Night Café. I knew that through: - Posters of Maria from Heaven's Night are hung everywhere in Silent Hill, especially the bathroom. - Maria has all the keys to Heaven's Night Café. - In the opening music, you will find Maria lying on the floor of Heaven's Night Café. - When you play Maria mode, you will start playing with her while she is inside this café. I think that Maria was created for James alone. I knew that from the title of Maria mode because James' wish is to see his wife at any cost, but this is not the only reason. Silent Hill created Maria and sent her to James to punish him. Maria is a real person, but only for James. No one can see her except James. Because she does not She interacts with one of the game characters and I have strong evidence to prove this point: In the game when James and Maria arrive at the Bowl-O-Rama bowling alley Maria does not enter with James and says that she hates bowling as an excuse to avoid any contact with the other characters. I think Maria was programmed with a very small memory and many of Mary's traits. Maria woke up in Heaven's Night at the same time that James arrived in the city. She woke up and in her head that her name is Maria and to search for anyone because she does not want to be alone and she has no idea why she is there. There is a tattoo of a butterfly on Maria's stomach and usually butterflies symbolize the mission in some stories and novels and are also known as lost souls searching for their right place and this is appropriate for me because this meaning matches the situation that Maria is living in in my theory. In Maria's role Born From a Wish, Maria began to understand her role well which is to find James and also in Maria's mode Maria will enter a children's room and when she makes comments about the things around you you will find a teddy bear then Maria will say this bear is not well made if Laura saw it she would like it then she will say Laura??? What am I talking about!!! This is a good example that shows that Maria was programmed with the same memory as Mary, after meeting Ernest and discovering his truth she went to Rose Water Park where she stared at the water just like Mary did when she went to this park. Meanwhile, she met James and as I said before, Maria was found to punish James. Maria starts coughing in the hospital at the beginning of her illness like Mary. Mary started coughing at the beginning of her illness and in Silent Hill as well. When the hospital turns into a nightmare, James and Maria will separate and then meet after that. As I explained before, Maria has a changeable mood like Mary's mood in I will start comparing: At the beginning of Maria's entrance to James, she was happy to see him. James did not show any joy to see Maria, although she was happy to see him here. Maria got angry at James' coldness and suddenly turned around and started screaming at him and then started crying while hugging him... Mary did the same situation before Maria started screaming and crying, but here there is a small difference, which is that she is trying to remind James that he is the one who killed his wife and it is impossible for her to come back to life again. Maria was killed in front of James several times and then returned as if nothing had happened to her: _ The elevator incident when the pyramid-headed leader kills Maria in the elevator. Maria was previously mentioned as just a mirror of Mary and she is just an illusion that only James can see. By killing her, she can come back again because this is what happened to his wife because she was killed while she was innocent. Killing Maria had two goals: the most important goal is to remember his killing of his wife. The second goal is to make James suffer because this is his punishment. _ After the elevator incident, James meets Maria in the prison in the maze. When she tells him to get her out, James goes from the other side, but the door was open. Why didn't Maria come out of it? But in reality, she was also killed and on the "bed" where Mary died. This is James's second punishment. _ In the hotel, James watches Maria being killed in front of him by the two pyramid-headed monsters. After this incident, James knew that Maria was just an illusion and knew that this was his punishment. James had had enough punishment and Maria was found in Silent Hill because James wished to see his wife whom he killed, but Silent Hill is a city that helps the lost and punishes the wrongdoers. Maria has She was created because of James' wish or Silent Hill or both. Laura is an orphan girl who lives in an orphanage and one day Laura gets sick so she is sent to the same hospital and the same room as Mary and Laura became Mary's best friend Mary always talked to her about her husband James and Silent Hill and Mary told Laura that if Mary gets better she will adopt Laura and then they will go to Silent Hill together but unfortunately Mary died so she couldn't adopt Laura. Unfortunately Mary's letter to Laura didn't get through easily as the nurse Rachel didn't give Laura the letter because she was afraid that she would run away from the orphanage again and if you remember Laura Lady's words she said I also made mistakes because I ran away from the orphanage many times. Unfortunately Laura is a naughty girl and she stole the letter from Rachel's locker. Mary said in the letter that she currently lives in a quiet and small town so Laura was in Silent Hill Laura was looking for Mary, but Laura saw Silent Hill as a normal town she didn't see those monsters And the bloody places, because she is innocent and did not commit a mistake to be punished for it. Laura's end is that she returns to the orphanage from which she escaped, but if you open the end of LEAVE, James will adopt Laura according to Mary's wish and James will go with Laura to visit Mary's grave. Angela was living a gloomy life full of cursing and insults by her father and mother and she was only listening to the insults and punished and beaten and humiliated without doing anything. Angela ran away from home but her parents were able to bring her back to it. But poor Angela could no longer bear it, so she killed her father with all hatred and malice. She stabbed him in the chest and fled to Silent Hill. But she lost her mind and began planning to kill her mother and brother who live in Silent Hill. This is the reason for Angela's presence in it. Angela suffers from a mental illness due to her horrific past. Of course, Angela is punished by Silent Hill. She saw that everything around her was burning and every time she saw someone she thought was her father or mother. But Angela She doesn't see her father unless her world meets James' world. For example, the knife that was with Angela is the same knife that she stabbed her father with. James asked her to give him the knife, but she was afraid of him because she saw James in the image of her father and ran away from him. Also, in the maze, when the door monster attacks Angela, she sees him as her father. When James kills him, she starts kicking the monster with hatred because she still sees her father. In the end, after the hotel turns into a nightmare, James' world will meet Angela's world, but this time she will enter Angela's world, which is full of fire, and she will find herself seeing James in the form of her mother. Also, James will say that the heat here is intense like hell, and Angela will say to him, "This is evidence that Angela sees everything around her burning." After that, Angela will go up and the fire will start to burn more. This gives me the impression that Angela has surrendered to the punishment, but not completely. Her going up indicates that she is still resisting, but the fire did not leave her any room to escape, as it blocked all paths in front of her, but she did not ask anyone to help her, so there remains It is possible that she killed herself. Also, it seems that Angela was living in Silent Hill in the Blue Creek apartment building. There are two things that made me believe that. First, there is a picture hanging on the wall in one of the apartments. This picture is of Angela with her brother. This is the biggest proof. The other thing is, what made Angela go to the Blue Creek apartment building? Didn’t she tell James that she was looking for her mother? It is not strange that she would search for them in the building where they used to live. Also, it seems that Angela lives with her father in one of the cities, and her mother and brother live in Silent Hill in the Lake View Hotel. So after she killed her father, she fled to Silent Hill to accomplish her mission. She wanted to kill her mother and brother who were in the hotel. She wanted to burn the hotel down to get rid of them. So, I bet that Angela sees all the things that are burning around her because of this matter. So, I see that Angela’s situation is exactly like James’s. Angela kept the matter of killing her father secret from her, just as James kept the matter of killing his wife secret. If you remember Angela’s words to James when she said, “Eddie was suffering from a life full of ridicule.” And mockery, everyone was mocking him for his stupidity, small mind and funny appearance. Eddie tried to join the football team, but he couldn't because of his fat body and strange morals. Of course, Eddie got enough of the team's mockery of him. One day, Eddie could no longer bear this mockery, so he shot all the members of his team in addition to the team captain, nicknamed the dog. He shot him with all his hatred and spite. Eddie felt weak when he heard the police's voice and felt like a scared little child, so he fled to Silent Hill. Silent Hill, in turn, punishes Eddie and sends people to mock him with their looks and eyes. Of course, Eddie did not understand his mistake and continued to kill the people who mocked him. I have seen many of Eddie's victims, and they are: - Eddie's first victim that James saw was in the Block Creek apartment building. When I met Eddie for the first time, the body was thrown in the kitchen. - The second victim was in the prison building. When James descends from the big hole to the prison kitchen, there will be Eddie. A victim who had been shot in the head by Eddie. Just before the battle against the crazy Eddie, you will find several victims who were also killed by Eddie. But Eddie did not realize that he was wrong and did not admit his mistake at all. Rather, he increased the killing until he went crazy and started killing everyone he saw. In the end, Silent Hill sentences Eddie to death by a killer as well, James, but something strange happened that will make you doubt James. Immediately after killing Eddie, James will be afraid of killing a human being, but his fear did not last long, as he immediately remembered Mary. This situation made me doubt that James had not killed anyone for the first time. "You will meet this character only in the role of Maria." Ernest lost his 7-year-old daughter. This child is called Amy. On one of Ernest's birthdays, Amy fell from one of the house's balconies and died. So Ernest searched for the four tools that bring the dead back to life. He first found the black cup and then the book of Chrismon Kimoni, but Ernest died in his house before he found the two remaining tools, so Ernest's ghost continued to hover in the house. He wants the bottle that contains the white oil, so Ernest is still searching for it until Maria entered his house and asked her to bring the white solution. Here at this point, Ernest wants the last tool to be freed from the house in which he died because he died before completing his mission, so he has to complete this mission in order to free his ghost and meet Amy's ghost. This way he can stay with Amy forever. The tool that he did not get is the Last Memory book, but the Last Memory book is the same as the Chrismon Kimoni book. The difference is in the name, but they give the same effect. If you want to get the REBIRTH ending in James mode, you will get these two books. If you compare them, you will notice that they contain the same words. Here, it seems that Ernest knows James because: In Maria mode, he will say when Maria kisses him for the second time, he will say strange words to Maria. He will tell her that I understood from Ernest's words that he is a ghost that ordinary people cannot see or talk to, but why is Maria the only one who can talk to him? This is also final evidence that Maria is also a ghost that no one can see except James.

This is the question that drove James crazy.
