"Amazing!"
I have heard alot of bad reviews of this because of the poorly done revamp of the original too but I thought I would just buy it anyway and I am definitely satisfied! Few changes in the game yes, but nothing at all to the gameplay or the story itself, an the graphics are great! If your a fan then who could turn down an offer like this!!
"Still spooky as ever"
Very good remake of a couple of classics. Too bad they didn't include Silent Hill 1 but I suppose playing these 2 games back-to-back is enough pressure to the heart.
"Hours of fun"
My partner has been playing this game and likes it alot

Description
Silent Hill Re-Mastered Collection combines two classic spine-chilling Silent Hill titles from the past. Introducing Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 with enhancements including true high-definition graphics, this offering gives new fans and old fans the opportunity to experience the early era of Silent Hill as a true genre-defining experience with the added value of two games.
Silent Hill 2 follows the sad story of James Sunderland as he woefully enters the sleepy town by a mysterious letter from his deceased wife. Seeking the chance to see her again beckoned by guilt and remorse, he stumbles upon his these fears manifested through unseen evil and ominous characters leading him to the asylum of another world. The fight against the truth that his wife has died, James must escape the lumbering demon Red Pyramid (a.k.a Pyramid Head) along with his mystified fears that have taken the form of living monsters within the haze that is Silent Hill.
Serving as a sequel to the original Silent Hill game, Silent Hill 3 centers on the forces of the demonic cult that spreads the insanity of the otherworld through Claudia, a cult member attempting to bring Harry Mason’s daughter, Heather, into Silent Hill. With a subplot and themes involving the loss of innocence and childhood, a web of intrigue is spun by Claudia with intentions to birth a new god.
Features:
- Experience the two classic Silent Hill titles previously released on PlayStation 2, Silent Hill 2 & Silent Hill 3, that defined the Survival Horror genre in its early inception
- Both titles re-mastered to HD at 720p for improved graphics.
- Completely updated in-game voiceover directed by series vocalist Mary Elizabeth McGlynn and soundtrack score enhancing the storytelling and ambient music within each re-mastered game

If you've heard of the HD Collection, you've likely heard the waves of hatred many classic Silent Hill fans have given it for “ruining” their favourites with this “buggy mess”. I will say this now; it isn't as horrible as these fans would lead you to believe.
Perhaps I say this because I've never played the originals, so I had no lingering expectation. However, I can say that the Silent Hill HD Collection is the perfect option for those of you who, like me, missed their chance to play the originals and want to see what the fuss is all about.
I'll admit that there are more glitches than you would normally expect from a release of this time, but that does not mean that the game is unplayable. To the contrary, I hardly noticed them.
The plots of the two games, particularly Silent Hill 2, are moving and detailed, and are perhaps my favourite aspects. I would recommend it to people who are willing to give thought to a game's plot; I even used Silent Hill 2 for an essay, and it received the highest mark.
In summary, this might not be the game for you if you have strong and fond memories of the original SH2 and 3. However, if you haven't played either, then by all means, give it a spin.
