It was first released on the Sony PlayStation 2 and was later ported to the Microsoft Xbox and PC.

While the game is staged in the series's namesake town, it is not a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill game. Instead, the game takes the perspective of a new character, James, who receives a letter, apparently from his late wife Mary, who died from a disease three years prior to the game, informing him that she is waiting for him in their 'special place,' the quiet, peaceful resort town of Silent Hill. When James arrives in town, he discovers it has undergone a radical transformation, shrowded in fog and inhabited by strange inhuman creatures. As he progresses through the warped reality of the town, he finds others who have been drawn to the town for similar reasons of himself, and discovers the real reason he has come to Silent Hill.

The game was declared "Scariest Console Game of All Time" by G4TV's X-Play, during a 2006 Halloween episode.

Plot

James Sunderland and his wife Mary were a young, happy couple. Years earlier for their honeymoon, James took Mary to the quiet, peaceful resort town of Silent Hill. The couple returned many times, and the town became their 'special place'; a place where they could share their love for each other. But sadly this happiness did not last. Mary was diagnosed with an unspecified rare and deadly disease and had no hope of recovery. The reality of her terminal illness hit them both very hard. Eventually, Mary became so ill that she had to remain at the hospital. While she suffered, James did as well.

After three years, Mary had become a horribly disfigured shadow of her former self, but was still alive. During what became his final visit with her, James suffocated Mary by smothering her with a pillow. James then suffered a mental break and blocked the three years of Mary's slow deterioration from his memory, convicing himself that Mary died directly from her disease shortly after being diagnosed. A few days later, James received a letter addressed from Mary. Convinced that his dead wife has somehow sent him a letter beckoning him back to the town of Silent Hill, he heads there in an attempt to find her.

Oddly, Silent Hill is not the same, beautiful town from the Sunderlands' past. In addition to the strange, omnipresent fog, the whole town seems to be rotting away and abandoned. Soon, James discovers bizarre creatures are roaming the streets. It seems in entering the town he had been drawn into another dimension, some theorize the demons he must face in Silent Hill represent the personal demons of his character.

While searching for his wife, James meets others who were called to the town just as he was:
