for some reason i played silent hill 2 first (just to see what all the hype was about) and didn't really care about sigma male james's story. and it's a shame because the first game is incredible and completely exceeded my expectations! harry's a much better protagonist imo, the levels aren't repetitive and the LORE. right from the beginning i was invested in the story, which goes in wild, unexpected directions that get even better as it progresses. i only wish that there was more backstory on alessa, she seems like such an interesting character.
