In the game, you control James, who has come to town to find out why his dead wife beckoned him to Silent Hill. The nature of the game, with its survival horror basis wrapped in fog-drenched mystery, remains similar. Silent Hill 2 features an all-new protagonist and cast of characters, and the plot is strikingly different from the first. The infamous town in question is the setting for both games, but other than that, only the thinnest of plotlines connect the two games.
Story wise, Silent Hill 2 is only a loose sequel to the 1999's critically praised survival horror game. And yet, maybe she does have that chance, because now, three years after her death, James Sutherland has received a letter from his late wife, urging him to come meet her. She didn't have a chance after she became ill and died. She seemed drawn to Silent Hill and always wanted to return.
James Sutherland's wife was such a person. For some people, Silent Hill is a place of happy memories, maybe the last pleasant memories that they've ever had. Its very name conjures up a sense of mystery, and within some, a sense of dread.
