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!!

id been stuck cuz my first disk wouldnt read and five years later i got myself another expensive copy of this game and it was totally worth it. the game itself is quite short but it has alot of options for after you beat the game theres a lot of extras and cheats . you should definatly buy this one if you are a fan of Silent Hill like i am. the soundrack is amazing too but what would you expect from Akira? anyway you shouldnt regret buying it

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)

so fun and terrifying! you play as harry's daughter (harry from the first game) and you trek through silent hill uncovering things about your past and origins. there is a new feature in which it switches from the normal world to the nightmare world and the walls are fluorescent, glowing, bloody, undulating things. truly stunning and scary! one thing that was really spooky is your character gets trapped in a mirror at one point! so many cool things. you keep talking to a man on random pay phones, somehow he always knows where you are, even in the nightmare world, eventually you meet him... i can't spoil it but it's crazy!!! also there is a horrid enemy called "insane cancer" i'll just let you discover that one on your own;) you get some really cool weapons also and at one point fight a grotesque version of yourself! heather is lost and just trying to get home but falls into the memory and nightmare of her former self. you learn a lot more about the religion that spawned this nightmare in the first place as well. this is the peak of the series! the environments are beautifully crafted, the characters look amazing, the story is fantastic, it is soooo scary, and it has some crazy plot twists and multiple endings. after you beat it you can go through the game again with cool new weapons or just multiply the number of bullets you get (like a box of ten is a box of thirty so you end up with more than enough ammo to just waste every bad guy in the game). so it even has replay value! heather even has many different outfits!

Great game, In my mind the best in ther series....easy to play not too hard,puzzles are easy to figure out, grat replay value. The soundtrack is a most for fans of ther series!!
