I liked how 3 connected to 1, but that the same time I was a bit disappointed. I'll explain why with this part of my review that I wrote.
"The story is thoroughly explained this time. However, half the fun in Silent Hill is figuring out just what the hell is going on. Having the game put the pieces of the puzzle together for you might disappoint those who crave the David Lynch like feeling of disorientation."
Other than that little problem, I enjoyed the game.
