Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams takes players to the eerie town of Silent Hill, where they assume the role of James Sunderland. James receives a cryptic letter from his wife, asking him to meet her in Silent Hill, a place that holds great meaning for the couple. What would normally be a comforting, romantic letter scares and confuses James since his wife has been dead for three years. The mystery of the letter compels him to return to the surreal horror and all-too-real danger in the monster-ridden town of Silent Hill.
Set amongst the dense fog and haunting darkness of the eerie town, accompanied by dramatic music presented in Dolby Surround, Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams pushes the boundaries of macabre horror. Players face frightening enemies and have access to a variety of weapons, including a pistol, shotgun and hunting rifle, but ultimately must rely upon their heads more than their trigger fingers.
