    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Foda, porém as partes do esgoto e prédio em obra no início do jogo são meio desnecessárias e até cansativas, mas fora isso é simplesmente muito foda. Expand

    A great closure to the story of the first Silent Hill that nevertheless leaves a couple of inconsistencies in the story. It preserves the atmosphere of terror of the previous games and presents one of the best protagonists of the saga.

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

    Amazing game. Despite being objectevely better than SH2 in every department, it lacks much of that one's personality and the atmosphere is not the same. I guess it seems more commercial in many ways. Still, extremely good game.

  1. 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.
  2. 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]
