5.0 out of 5 stars January 2015 Updated Review-
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2015
So I'm a major die-hard Silent Hill fan, as many of you guys are as well. Anyone who has looked into the HD Collection knows that this game has had some...shall we say harsh reviews. When I first discovered this Remaster I was so excited to buy it as soon as I saw it, but before I did I researched it and came to find that it was notoriously a broken piece of trash. This crushed my heart, as it did so many others. When this game was first released there was a day one patch, which says a lot. I mean, if a game comes out and it AUTOMATICALLY has an update patch before you can play it that's when you know something's wrong. Turns out this game was released out of pure laziness. It came with lots of freezing, sound glitches, subtitle/dialogue lag, bugs, and errors galore! After hearing about all of its faults I waited more than a year before I broke down and bought it. I bought this December 2014, and it got here very early and after reading that it was improved I had high hopes! After admiring the beautiful artwork of the cover, I popped in in my PS3 and booted up Silent Hill 3, my personal favorite game out of the SH series. Let me tell you something, it works (for me) almost flawlessly. I am almost 6 hours into the game (only at the hospital right now because I take my SWEET time in games like these, especially because every corner of this game is nostalgic for me and I am greedy and want every single door opened and every supply found) and so far it has ran almost perfectly. I will not lie to you and say that it's 100% flawless, though. So far the errors I've occurred have been:
- Froze twice, both at the Dance Academy for some reason.
- The voice dialogue has lagged for me one time, which isn't an issue to me personally. I don't fuss over stuff like that, I fuss over errors that BREAK the game. This game is 12 years old so I will give Konami a break.
- Subtitles occasionally are different than the dubbed voice, but seeing as though there are new voice actors (I prefer the original SH3 cast personally but again the change isn't game-breaking!) the script is a little bit different.
I have not played through Silent Hill 2 yet but I have heard that it has virtually no problems. There are new voice actors in SH2 also but unlike SH3 you can choose between the new and old voice actors. But Troy Baker is in the new SH2 so hey, his smooth voice is nicer to hear than the awkward sooo-ries/aboots from the original. (Still love the original actors, though!)

Overall, as broken as this game once was the Playstation 3 release of it has been mended enough to where your experience will be pleasant and you will not encounter too many problems. If you wanna be safe, just try and get your hands on the original copies of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, but otherwise have fun exploring the streets of hell and remember kids:
" In my restless dreams I see that town; Silent Hill. I'll be waiting for you...in our special place."

5.0 out of 5 stars awesome game
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2013
I have played Silent Hill 2,3, on HD collection, and 4 on XBOX. This HD collection is simply awesome. There are so many complaints about the visuals and voices on the HDversion. I will give my opinion from someone that didn't play the originals except SH4 but that's not on the collection anyhow. When I loaded the game it updated new data and patches for a while. First the framerate issues - none at all (need I say more)? Voice acting Silent Hill 2 you get the originals and newer ones. I chose the originals no problems there. SH3 doesn't sound bad to me at all. I guess there not as good as the originals. However there is so little dialog anyhow that I can not see how this would be such a major concern. The girls sound like girls and the men sound like men, not a big deal. SH2 the fog. Well the fog is all over the HD collection. It is hard to see while exploring the town. There is a bit of the sense that the fog is rolling with you instead of engulfing you. This does not effect gameplay and it's still hard to see. Besides the fog is only when you are outside and since the dread of the game really takes place exploring the inside of the buildings this was not a concern. Most of the time when you are outside it's dark and foggy so you use a flashlight and you run from creatures from place to place. Those are the three biggest complaints that I have read from other players.There are some others like signs and stuff that changed and this has no effect what so ever on gameplay but purists say it ruins the game.

The visuals in SH3 are stunning. I could not believe that I was playing an old game. The game is simply awesome and I think they look more vibrant then the originals from the youtube comparisons I have seen. SH2 still has that old school look but the feeling of dread while playing this game is second to none, and the most powerful part of the game that easily makes everything else seem so petty. The story comes together nicely as well. SH2 has the highest dread factor of anygame I have ever played. Some of them are Dead space 1 and 2, Siren, SH Downpour, SH4, RE 1, The Thing, Stalkers, Half Life, Doom3.

By dread factor I mean the "oh man, I really don't want to go around the next corner." Or "I really do not want to enter this room or run into Pyramid Head again." I felt myself dreading the fact that I felt so compelled to play the game at all. It's not to bad looking back as a whole, but when your immersed in it you feel like screaming "enough already."

Play the game for what it is ( a great game in HD) instead of what it is not - the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection
Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2024
Silent Hill 2 and 3 are great additions to franchise. The creepy and disturbing world makes for a terrifying and story driven experience. The game play is good and this series is great to play at night and especially around Halloween. Would highly recommend to streamers and gamers who play or are fans or horror
