From what I've read, restless dreams doesn't add much to SH2, just the ability to play Maria in a section of the game. Its also coming to the PS2, so no doubt I'll be checking it out sinse I'm a fan of the game. Good news about SH3 though, even though this is the first I've heard of it, I'm just glad its in development.
Also "Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams" is being released on XBOX with some additions such as playing certain areas as Maria.
There are some holes in the plot, but that isn't much of a problem because SH2 is one of the most atmospheric games ever made. Its got good voice acting (unlike the predecessor), an intriguing storyline, great graphics and as I've said a very strong atmosphere. I hope kanomi decide to bring out another sequel, because I think they'd have to be mad not to. We need more games like this.
What made it truly stand-out over other survival horror games was the story and the characters: surreal and unnerving - you never quite knew who was real.
Was the main character dreaming the whole thing? - Who knows.
SH2 is more Psychological Horror than Survival Horror.
I also love the main theme tune.
All in all: a dark masterpiece. Ten times the game GTA3 will ever be.
