Best Buy was good to me and I received my copy 4 days early on Saturday. Been playing it off and on since (juggling Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero, social life and work) but I'm about halfway through the hospital. The atmosphere is superb and Bloober really nailed it. To be honest, I had my doubts based off some of the early trailers and the fact that it was Bloober doing it but so far I'm very impressed. It's clear they understood the assignment.
I was never a huge Silent Hill fan (RE always surpassed it for me) but aside from only playing through 1, Homecoming and Shattered Memories when I was younger, I didn't have a lot of experience with 2. I own SH2 on PS2 and every time I tried to boot it up, I always just lost interest once I got to the apartments. I finally sat down and played through 2 and 3 in their entirety two years ago and ended up getting the platinum (HD collection sucks I know, but I am a trophy whore) because I enjoyed them so much. I still remember my play through quite vividly so going through this with the OG Silent Hill 2 still kinda fresh in my mind has been a treat.
