I think I actually enjoyed this more than Silent Hill 2. It's graphically superior. Although a lot shorter (It took me just over 6 hours to complete according to my save file compared to over 12 for the second game) it's more focused and there's less aimless wandering of the town.
I preferred the main protagonist, Heather, as well. She's feisty and I think playing a girl added to the scare factor. This game actually made me jump more. I also felt the 'nightmare' alternate realities where more in keeping with the first game and genuinely disturbing. The bit where the bath over flowed with blood whilst the bloody tendrils expanded over your reflection was horrible. The monsters too where more menacing and yet you couldn't help feeling sorry for the split head dogs when they yelped and ran off after a good battering with the pipe.
The story itself wasn't as strong echoing the first games hokey 'God summoning' and I thought it was cheeky to reuse a chunk of Silent Hill 2's level. There was also a bit too much instant death for my liking. Especially when the controls are still a bit clunky.
Overall though another enjoyable experience. I intend to move straight onto Silent Hill 4: The Room now.

First Look: Silent Hill 3
First off! Why would you swap the function of the 'select' and the 'start' button between direct sequels? What paused the game and what brought up your inventory are now on opposite buttons! Confusing!
While I'm complaining... Why does the map now not default to the zoomed in view that is more helpful? Now the heroines head is attracted to just about everything not only does she now resemble Regan but it's less helpful.
