Silent Hill is, in my opinion, everything that is perfect when it comes to survival horror games. Sure, Resident Evil is a great series, but the psychological ends to which the Silent Hill will dive to is astounding. The game’s really know how to mess with you, and that’s what makes them so amazing to me.
Sure, some of the games really aren’t the best, but 3 is surely the exact opposite of that. To me, Silent Hill 3 is the top of the list, the best game in the series by far. Heck, it’s one of the best games for the genre.

I can’t really go that far into the storyline without spoiling things, but it’s basically about a teenage girl named Heather as she tries to unravel the mysteries surrounding her past. It’s a direct sequel to the first game and actually features Harry Mason, the protagonist from the first game. Heather is one of the best female video game protagonists and is one of my favorite characters in the series. She’s strong, courageous, and can actually fight.
Y’know, what females in video games usually CAN’T do.
The gameplay is nearly perfect. The controls are smooth and feel natural.
The different difficulty settings vary ...
