THE BEST HORROR GAME EVER

THIS GAME IS AMAZING, FOR THE FANS OF THE OTHER 2 PREVIOUS GAMES THIS GAME IS HAVED TO BE PLAYED. The best horror game ever. With new characters, weapons, monsters and mysteries this game have everithing. In the PC version is better tha the PLAYSTATION 2 version because os the graphics and you will be aloud to save in every part you want. Silent Hill 3 is more connected to the first Silent Hill than to the Second.

Now you play as a girl named Heather that was traped in a nightmare, you will be understanding the game later.

4-5 stars

I never give a 5 star review but this game is very close to a 5 star game. YOU WILL JUMP from this game (or maybe twitch). It has a religion based storyline that keeps you wondering what's going to happen next.
You're given a choice in 2D or 3D controls. I recommend 3D controls but other people say that they like 2D. To each his own.
I played it on the easy difficulty and easy puzzle setting and it was actually a little too easy. As you can see, this gives the game replay potential. Play on easy Difficulty but hard puzzles, or hard difficulty with easy puzzles.
Now the tiny little bad side. The monsters are a little repetitious but once you clear a room it's cleared. no respawning of more monsters just cuz you returned. when you start a new chapter, it will introduce a new monster but you'll probably see more of them as the game goes on.
Pick this up and enjoy it multiple times.

the most delightfully disturbing game I've played

If you like survival horror you will not be disappointed! The graphics are amazing and the sound is very creepy. Make sure you have a decent 3D card. The mood is very dark and I had to play the game for only an hour at a time to keep my cool. For the best experience, play this game in the dark. Definately not for small children or those easily offended. The play control is not the best, but SH3 is worth getting for the sheer horror value! The only game that comes close is Silent Hill 2.

Atmosphere of absolute fear....

Right from the beginning, you get a taste of the horror that awaits you. But, from that point on, the horror only escalates. The hideous creaturs that confront you are straight out of a nightmare. The blood stained wallpaper jumps out at you at every corner. This game is flat-out frightening. I enjoyed Silent Hill 2 for its' merit on mostly gameplay. This game, however, one ups it with incredible and fluid graphics along with outstanding gameplay. Straight out of a grainy slasher flick. The music is also incredible. Most of the stlye of music stems from an undergound alternative style. Somewhat goth, somewhat punk. This game has great length. I finished it in about 20 hours. However, one small downside. This thing is HUGE! It's jammed onto 5 cd-roms. About 3 gig of hard-drive space needed. Plus, you have to consider savegame and memory-swap space. You should have around 4 gig available for this program. That's a hefty chunk. Other than that, this is unbelievable! Enjoy!

Video Card Incompatibility

I shelled out the money for this game after never having problems with any PC games and I get it home and install it and it tells me my video card doesn't have enough memory or something. I still haven't gotten to play it on the PC, but have on the PS2 and it is a great game, I just can't believe there isn't a graphics setting in case you don't have a newer video card. Most games are made to work with different setting to suit both old and newer computer set-ups, but not this one.

Craptacular Game

I purchased this game through Amazon (J&R Music World). After installing the game, I have horrid problems with the options menu. All of the option changes cause my computer to crash while attempting to change defaults. I have a brand new home built computer with a P4 3.2 GHz CPU, a GA-8KNXP Giga-Byte MB, 2 GB of Crucial RAM and an ATI 256 MB 9800XT Radeon Video Card. The operating system is Windows XP Pro w/SP1. Konami will not respond to e-mails about their craptacular product. WHAT A JOKE!!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Will not work

Even with the recommended specs and updated drivers I cannot get this game to install correctly. It keeps crashing my computer and skipping installation disks and then saying the installation is complete. I'm not sure what the problem is but the game definitely has some technical issues. Avoid.

What a huge disappointment!!!!

The game controls on this are so difficult for PC that it becomes massively frustrating. Also there are so few health packs and ammo that this games sucks horribly.

IF YOU HAVE A PENTIUM 7.000.000.000?!?!?!?!?

OK, THIS GAME SUCKS SO MUCH THAT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND THE RIGHT WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW PISSED OFF I AM.
EXPLAINING: EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAID HERE IS TRUE, MY COMPUTER SHOULD BE ABLE TO RUN THIS CRAP, BUT, GUESS WHAT???? IT CAN'T.
YOU FROM KONAMI SHOULD PUT A LABLE IN THIS CRAP BOX SAYING:
"...HEY, IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THIS, STOLE A COMPUTER FROM NASA..."
YOU GUYS, STAY AWAY FROM THIS, DON'T BUY IT...

poor controls

It's really too bad, because I really wanted to actually PLAY this game. I am a _very_ experienced first-person and third-person gamer, and usually jump right into a new game "full throttle" or at the hardest setting (i.e. HALO, Deus Ex II, for example) and play it through several times. Not THIS bomb. You'd think, that game designers would realize that PC-game controls for first- or third- person have pretty well "been done" and perfected. Moreover, in REAL pc-based games, the adjustability is so great, that anyone can tweak the interface to match the exact style of play learned over hours of play ... not THIS turkey. VERY limited options. NO sensitivity settings for the mouse. NO axis-orentation adjustment possible (mouse again). You can go strictly keyboard (aka DOOM I, yes I said "doom one") but who plays THAT way these days? Steer/aim with the mouse, move/sidestep with the keyboard ... with THIS stupid, STUPID interface, you sort of slop your point-of-view around (with the mouse) in a sloppy, greasy sliding through jello-sort-of-way, and the character may or may not turn to face the way you want. Maybe. Eventually. It's like controlling a moth on a windy day, and the character tries to avoid actually looking at the moth, and so turns away-but you got NO direct control of the character. Maybe the game is as good as some say, maybe it's not. Right now, I'm trying to get a refund, as I'LL never play it, unless they release a patch that fixes the stupid, STUPID control/interface .... Y'hear this Konami? Pay ATTENTION! The interface HAS BEEN DONE! No need to re-invent it! If you are thinking of porting ANOTHER game to the PC world, DON'T BOTHER, if you can't take time to implement a TRUE pc-interface ... game pads are for CONSOLE games (which do not have keyboards or mice ANYway!)
