The thing is, people talk about Silent Hill 4. The Room might be of questionable quality (I love it) but it's still widely discussed and debated.

Nobody talks about 3. It's just that game that exists between the phenomenall 2 and the dubious quality 4.

3 brings nothing to the table except for the fact it probably was the scariest SH game. The plot isn't as interesting as 2 or 4, there's only like 4 characters and none of them are as interesting as any one character from 2 or 4, and it arbitrarily killed off the main character from 1 for SHOCK VALUE.

You know what other third installment did that? Aliens 3. And it doomed that sequel too. (and to clarify, I mean how it killed Newt and everyone besides Ripley. And then it did kill Ripley but the death of Newt and the others is much more like the death of Harry in how stupid and pointless it was)

Besides the fact it's actually pretty scary, there are two things I'll give SH3:

1. Good music, as is to be expected.
2. Vincent, the most interesting character in the game.

And you know what, smurf you game. I tried to help that lady and to make her feel better in the confessional and you want to go and give me the evil ending that doesn't make any damned sense. Oh I understand it conceptually speaking but it is very poorly handled. If they wanted to further develop Heather's character in relation to The Order they should have done it less clumsily. As it is, it feels like an afterthought. It could have been cool but not the way they did it.

Why, in the evil ending, does she kill Douglas? Is she possessed or what?
