Silent Hill 2 Codes, Secrets and Speedrun (PC)

Silent Hill 2 is the second installment in the Silent Hill Survival horror series. The game was released in late 2001 on the Sony PlayStation 2 and was ported to the Microsoft Xbox and PC the following year. While the game is staged in the series' namesake town, it is not a direct sequel to the events and characters of the first Silent Hill game and is staged at an undetermined date between it and the third game. This entry takes insight into a new character, James Sunderland, who enters the town after receiving a letter, apparently from his late wife Mary, saying she is waiting for him in their "special place" in the town.

At the beginning of the game the player is introduced to the main character, James Sunderland, who has come to Silent Hill after receiving a letter from his wife, Mary, despite the fact that she had apparently died from an unnamed illness three years prior to his return. When James first enters Silent Hill, he immediately realizes it is not the same beautiful town from his and Mary's past.

In addition to the strange, omnipresent fog, the whole town seems to be rotting away and abandoned. Bizarre, vaguely humanoid monsters are also wandering the streets and most of the buildings, waiting to attack James. With his path to his first destination, the lakeside Rosewater Park, cut off, James enters an apartment complex, whose back alleys have the only other available route to reach what he believes could be the "special place" Mary says she is in the letter.
