Unfortunately there are few games like Shenmue, which is another reason why Shenmue is so amazing.
The music in
Silent Hill 2 is very good indeed. What annoys me about SH2 (and SH3, for which they managed to improve the graphics - something I thought was impossible on the PS2) is that the main characters are beautifully rendered and well animated, and OK, sometimes when James stoops to pick something up, it looks a little contrived in the way it just disappears - but
why don't they animate opening doors? It is the single event that occurs more than any other in the
Silent Hill games. Frequently the sound of the door opening happens before the image has faded, and clearly the character didn't even move. Blackout. Sound of door opening and shutting. Fade up on James standing on the other side of the door. It's SO ANNOYING!
