All hype and scare-the-girlfriend jokes aside, Silent Hill 3 is a truly disturbing, frightening, and bloody experience (more or less in that order). This is the current high-mark of scary games, period, with production values that put most contemporary horror-flicks to shame.
A solid addition to the series. The thrills are definitely here, and they're more disturbing than ever, but it sticks to the traditional survival horror mold — a likely turn-off for those looking for something new.

Third time is very much a charm for Silent Hill, as Silent Hill 3 completes a trilogy as good as any video franchise has seen. Silent Hill 3 is every bit as well crafted as its somewhat more popular predecessor -- being every bit as terrifying, but also featuring a narrative every bit as poignant and memorable.

While it arguably does little in term of innovation, it has some classic puzzles, far more satisfying combat elements than ever before, some truly horrifying sections, fantastic visuals, gruesome audio and a quality storyline that kicks most of the embarrassing competition out of sight.
Fun, but lacks the intensity of the first game. The intensity was lessened with the sequel, perhaps due to the fact that it was a sequel and I had already experienced that kind of horror once. Silent Hill 3 uses the same scare tactics as the first two games, so unless you're a newcomer, you probably won't be too horrified.
The least of the three games, but it still plays better and has a far more vivid imagination than its competitors (once again my eye drifts towards Resident Evil).
The game's biggest weakness is the lack of any levity or humor to counterpoint the story's overwhelmingly serious tone. [Sept 2003, p.68]
Combat is more tedious than fun, though players can now wield more powerful weapons such as the katana blade. Most often players can get by simply running past many of the enemies -- not necessarily out of fear, but in a noble attempt to relieve boredom.
For me, the best silent hill

It is the best horror game I've ever played, perfect for my autism. I can't stop playing it.

Больше похожа на первую часть, то есть упор на хоррор. Неплохая игра. Играется приятнее чем предыдущие части

I think it's the scariest game in the series. They had weird and scary designs.

PROS:
• Ambient and mood.
• Puzzle versatility, some of them require analytical thinking, and others just common sense.
• Feels like a closure to the first three games.
• Exploration freedom in the vein of the series.
• Art direction it's still great.
CONS:
• 2nd half enemies are more unfair and annoying, while bosses are awfully easy.
•Unlike Silent Hill 2, SH3 has a pretty straightforward narrative with only 2 endings (and a joke one).
•It doesn't build up much tension.
Mixed:
• It kind of does have an interesting story and characters but given that is told very conventionally it loses a lot of the past game charm.
•Music isn't as emblematic as the other two but there are a couple of songs with vocals that are amazing.
•Compared to the original, acting has a similar quality to the original voice acting, which isn't that great but it isn't terrible like other games of the era, but in the more dramatic scenes the actors deliver.

Summary Silent Hill 3 continues the series' trademark brand of psychological horror and terrifying gameplay. As a teenage girl named Heather, players must explore and unravel the mysterious connection between the god-forsaken town and her inner fears. With enhanced graphical detail, a more complex storyline, and even more grotesque monsters than...
