Silent Hill 2 Remake review: Halloween is coming - and it's the perfect time to take a trip back to Silent Hill, writes PETER HOSKIN


PETER HOSKIN: Oh, gosh, it's ghastly. And I mean that in the best possible way. The remake of Silent Hill 2 captures all the ghastliness of the original game from 2001 - and then some.

The journey into Silent Hill — into James's guilt-plagued psyche — is given definition by Akira Yamaoka's nervy score, by the heart-stopping encounters with the worst monster of them all... Pyramid Head. Most obviously, the graphics are up to modern expectations, as is the control scheme for making James move and fight — the original always was a little clunky in that regard. Besides, it's just good to see Atlus's punkish spin on a fantasy world of tribes and faeries and hideous monsters known as... humans.
