Silent Hill 2 is the latest classic video game to receive the remake treatment and it was well worth the wait. The game developers of Bloober Team took everything that made the original a success, paired it with the improvements that modern hardware offers today, and made something spectacular.

This dramatic remake of the 2001 psychological horror classic loses some of the original’s character. But it’s hard to dismiss its new perspective.

The plot of Silent Hill 2 centers on James Sunderland, a man still reeling from the loss of his wife, Mary, who passed away three years ago. Out of nowhere, James receives a mysterious letter from Mary herself, claiming that she’s waiting for him in their "special place" — a spot in the quiet town of Silent Hill where they once vacationed.

Silent Hill 2 remake fans discover a detail in the game that answers a question fans have had since the original game's release in 2001.

A remake of the 2001 survival horror game sands down the unwieldy combat that made it a powerful, disturbing classic.
