As many people have stated, SH2 (and SH3, for that matter) is one of those games that's nearly impossible to finish at a normal pace. You simply need breaks from it because it gets under your skin and breeds. The whole thing creates an overwhelming sense of dread and hopelessness. If the graphical representation of the town and Otherworld weren?t enough to give your nightmares, it?s the SOUND that?ll finish you off. I can?t even count how many times I said aloud, ?%$&^ you! There is no way I?m going in there!?
And if you?re a man that?s ever lost someone you love? well, get ready to have your freakin? heart torn to tiny, murmuring, little shreds of pain.
SH2 is a rare gem. I can?t recommend it to everyone, but you will never forget the experience.
