Silent Hill 3

[Zell's Fists of Fury]

now when people say these silent hill games are so scary are they more or less just talking about all the zombies and what not that jump up and surprise you, Or is there something within the plot that makes the game scary.

I played #2 for a little while and to tell you the truth all I really got out of it was a boring hack and slash zombie game. Not a scary zombie game. Though I didn't finish it as I just started getting a little to bored of going to one room and killing a few zombies then going to the next room to kill a few more zombies.

So for those of you who think these games are so scary. What is it in your opinions that make them scary.

I think you're playing the wrong game, chum. No zombies in Silent Hill. And it's not even a hack and slash zombie game. You might be thinking of Resident Evil.

As for what makes it scary is the fact that it's downright creepy. The settings and atmosphere is unsettling to say the elast. You enter places that are normally innocent (Elementary school, amusement parks, hospitals, malls, etc) that are turned into litteral nightmares. The monsters themselves are disturbing. I tell you, I nearly pissed my pants every times I saw Pyramid Head in 2. Just walking through the darkness to see him standing there was horrible.

I refuse to play Silent Hill games in anything other than complete darkness. It adds to the whole creepiness factor tenfold.

And Giga, that's about all you need to know. If you've played 1, then you're golden.
