A great, creepy game!

Strengths: Great atmosphere, interesting storyline

Weakness: A little short, odd controls

This is an intriguing, survival-horror game with an impressive storyline and nice graphics. The sound effects are eerie, and the plot twists are great. The controls are a bit odd, but this is a small issue. Definitely pick up this one!

Silent Hill 3

Strengths: Spooky story keeps you at the edge of your seat

Weakness: Not very long

Silent Hill 3 continues the story of the town of Silent Hill. This time the lead character is a female named Heather. Graphics are great as usual, and the music is super scary. Together they make for a suspensful and frightning experience. New weapons include a sub-machine gun, and a katana. Also, when the game was originally released it included the Official Silent Hill 3 Sountrack with 60...

Silent Hill 3

Strengths: superb graphics, good gameplay, ScArY, good story, and some good riddles (well except for EASY of course)

Weakness: a little more fighting, a little less running

OK for all those who think Xbox has better graphics, well think again! This game has stunning good graphics, and the riddles prove to be a quite difficult and require a good mind. Though you shouldn't buy it if you get scared easy.:) My little brother (9yrs.) got nightmares from it and even I keep a baseball bat and knifes within my reach thinks to this game and the movie THE RING, but still it...

Silent Hill 3

Strengths: Fantastic survival horror.

Weakness: Story won't mean as much if you haven't played SH1.

When Silent Hill 2 came out, many people were disappointed that it had a completely new story rather than completing SH1's. Well, SH3 is that follow-up that everyone wanted so badly. Because of this, it's not a great place to start, but fans of the series will find a lot to like here. If you've never tried a Silent Hill, I recommend starting with SH2, and if you like that, playing SH1 and then...

Atmosphere and story collide once again for another...

Strengths: Excellent graphics, scary atmosphere, good story that makes you think.

Weakness: Controls.

Silent Hill 3 is a direct sequel to the first Silent Hill and should be played afterwards for maximum enjoyment. The game still keeps the tradmark "Other World", and really goes the extra mile in this installment to truly scare players with the Other World effects. The hospital is a total slap in the face in Other World. The graphics are really well detailed, the character show life-like...

Review of SH3

Strengths: The mood, atmosphere, variety of environments.

Weakness: None in particular

I loved the original Silent Hill for PlayStation and am glad that Silent Hill 3 is related to the original PS1 game unlike Silent Hill 2. The mood, graphics, and gameplay are all what you'd expect if you played the original game in the series and all pulled off very well. The images in Silent Hill 3 will stay with you.

Terror!

Strengths: Incredibly scary. Excellent graphics. Awesome sound. Bonus music cd.

Weakness: none really.

Silent Hill 3 for the PS2 is an incredible survival horror game from Konami. Fans of the first two games will know what to expect. This is probably the scariest video game series on the market. The graphics in this third installment are some of the best seen on the PS2. Everything has a realistic and dirty look to it. The creature designs are straight out of your worst nightmares. The audio in...

Scarrier than Silent Hill 2

Strengths: Great Story, Superb Graphics, Good Puzzles, Difficult Combat, Varied Enemy Types, Decent Voice-Acting, Well-Presented, Scary!

Weakness: Short, Not Much Replay Value, Some Camera Issues, Repetitive Gameplay

Silent Hill 3 keeps everything that was good in Silent Hill 2, and it improves on the things that Slient Hill 2 lacked! First and foremost, the graphics are one of the best to be ever seen on the PS2. They are truly life-like (but still the environments are really really dark). This game is scarrier than Silent Hill 2 (and Silent Hill 2 was really scary). The game's female lead character is very...

The Static Horror Returns

Strengths: Engrossing story, stunning graphics for the PS2, Vivid horror imagery

Weakness: Camera, some cheap shock moments, difficult

Silent Hill continues with another installment, just as twisted and surreal as the last. The series has been quite unique in that it's not always about horror for the sake of horror, but that there's often a complex story underlying and explaining things in a cryptic manner. It's not always easy to follow or figure out, but it's definitely unique in terms of game storywork. The graphics are...

Silent Hill 3 (ps2)

Whether you love it or hate it, the quirky genre known as survival-horror is here to stay. Starting as far back as Infogrames' Alone in the Dark series on the PC, the genre allows a large portion of like-minded gamers to scare themselves half to death. For my money, Konami's excellent Silent Hill series epitomizes the very best in shock value, terror, and those creeping feelings of dread that we...

Silent Hill 3 (ps2)

In the late 1990s when survival horror games hit their zenith, the equal blend of horrific stories, creative monsters and a newly imbued cinematic flair gave gamers a new thrill -- A chilling, occasionally shocking scare. While Capcom's Resident Evil provided shock and suspense, Konami's Silent Hill provided an eerie, surreal and disturbing sense of fright, one designed in the H.P. Lovecraftian...
