Silent Hill 3
This game also has quite a bit of replay ability to, with 3 different endings to see, and additional scenes to be seen on replay. My only qualm with this game is that it’s too short, at only 5 hours on your first play through and maybe half that each additional time.
Those who lost interest in this genre a long time ago won’t find the experience here to regenerate their faith. It’s a shame because the actual storytelling and directing is a work of genius that demands to be witnessed, whilst the visuals are quite possibly the best you’ll ever witness on a Playstation2.

Grainy video filters, swirling cameras and intense action put it severed head and shoulders above the rest of the horror-game competition - the best installment yet of a great series. [Aug 2003, p.32]

Incredible atmosphere, captivating world, unsettling gameplay and you never get sick of it somehow. Sliiiiightly inconclusive ending makes it a 9 instead of a 10, but overall an incredible story-telling.

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.

Gamezilla!
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.

My favorite Silent Hill game, even though the game's pure torture. Supplies were pretty scarce or I was blind. It's a masterpiece, an excellent sequel to the first game... except one thing. Harry deserved better. Would recommend.

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.

GameZone
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.

GamingTrend
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).

GMR Magazine
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]

All Game Guide
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.

Este Silent Hill te atrapa y no te abandona ni te da respiro posible desde la primera media hora. Nada de caminatas largas por la niebla y nada de secciones extensas aburridas que generan más cansancio que tensión. Aquí no nos encontramos con un plagio de Twin Peaks pasado por la niebla de un motor gráfico inadecuado, en este juego todo es intencional, todo está medido y toda la atención al detalle tiene un carácter propio para transformar un centro comercial en tu peor pesadilla. En esta ocasión, el horror cósmico no tiene justificación pero te espera en cada esquina. Es un juego humilde que no intenta vender un discurso ni trabajar temáticas de thriller psicológico. Aquí no hay ningún James atormentado, no hay ningún antihéroe, solo una pobre niña en busca de un Dios imposible. Es una masterclass de cómo trabajar el horror psicológico. Este juego no te desgasta por lo que te cuenta, te desgasta por cómo te lo cuenta, por sus mecánicas y por la interacción con un medio que no te deja ningún atisbo de luz o posibilidad de descanso. Dios, en esta ocasión, no está de tu parte.

Game muito bom, nao tem muitos finais como os jogos da franquia anterior e o final não é tão bom, mas continua sendo um terror ótimo.

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