In here we have the previously mentioned monsters making cliched groans, some sci-fi noises and music that feels out of place.
At risk of sounding like a broken record - the sound and music of Silent Hill are what made that game really scary - go and listen to it's soundtrack and if your ears won't bleed after ten minutes then you can listen to it long enough to see what a horror game should sound like. Jesus Christ, monkeys? Really? I guess arachnids were the only type of enemy I felt was pretty creepy, but then again, all spiders are.Īside from few good lines of dialogue - one of which all fans should be familiar with since it's quoted up the ass by all of them - most of the sound design fails to create a compelling atmosphere, plain and simple.
Monkeys shooting lasers out of their foreheads. Some weirdly animated dudes moaning and spouting gibbersih while comically flailing at me with lead pipes. SS2 on the other hand puts those socks back on my feet, one at a time for each of the following complaints: Silent Hill is old as f*ck and this game can still knock your socks off, even to this day. However, I'm puzzled as to how people can attach phrases like "atmospheric", "immersive" or "terryfing" to their reveiws of System Shock 2, because even when I tried to play it over 10 years ago these kind of statements seemed rather far fetched. These are a-ok in my book and I could always see how this game influenced all the action-RPG hybrids that came after it and for that, it should be forever praised. I guess I'll start by stating that I'm not interested in discussing the game's difficulty or general mechanics.
