Creepy as all Silent Hill should be!, January 5, 2012
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Silent Hill 3 with Game Soundtrack CD (Video Game)
I am a longtime fan of the Silent Hill game series, and after the amazing story behind Silent Hill 2, I didn't think it could get any better. The story follows a young girl who's trapped in Silent Hill's version of a mall, which is creepy in itself, and adds the usual assortment of creatures from your worst nightmares. The story connects back to the original Silent Hill, and the gameplay is improved with options to alter blood color and add a filter which makes the whole game look like a worn copy of an old horror movie. Highly recommended!!

Quite disturbing (in a good way), November 13, 2010

This review is from: Silent Hill 3 with Game Soundtrack CD (Video Game)
I have played every Silent Hill game and can honestly say that Silent Hill 3 is the the best looking, has the best presentation, and is the scariest of the series on the PS2.
Visually, the game looks pretty amazing, (even for being 7 years old). Tons of shadow effects, hi-res texture maps, and some really cool "crawling" textures throughout the game.
The story, while not quite on par with the drama of SH2, is still quite interesting (though you may want to start with Silent Hill 1, at the stories are pretty closely linked and make more sense in sequence).
The sound is, as always, amazing. It is what creates the majority of the fear and panic you will experience.
While the game is on the shorter side compared to the others, I would also argue that it has the most variety. You will never be bored with/comfortable in any of the environments, (as happened occasionally in the previous games).
The gameplay hasn't changed significantly from the previous 2 games (save for some new weapons, a block move, and substantially fewer bullets and health items than were in SH2), and it isn't particularly "fun" to play, but the constantly oppressive atmosphere will steal most, if not all your attention, form this.
My opinion: Silent Hill is not about fun, it's about being scared, (and you WILL be scared playing SH3)
