Review by IGN

"…Slight improvements certainly help refresh Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3 visually, and the new voice recordings sound far more human than the laughable original acting. Really, the best thing about this re-release is what hasn't changed. Even after all this time, these frightening experiences exist in a place most modern horror games or Silent Hill sequels can't quite reach.

…Silent Hill HD Collection reminds adults that, like children, they have deep, irrational fears. Silent Hill 2 remains a modern masterpiece, and the HD Collection proves it will stand the test of time regardless of technical or control constraints. Silent Hill 3, while not quite in the league of its predecessor, presents a similarly strong understanding of survival horror. Both are made from the same stuff that gives us nightmares." 9/10
