GAME: Silent Hill 3
PLATFORM / YEAR: Playstation 2 (later PC) / 2003
SAMPLE MUSIC: Dance With Night Wind - Akira Yamaoka
GAME TRAILER: HIT IT!FAVORITE CHARACTER: HEATHER. HEEEEEEEATHER! With a side of Douggie.
WHY THIS GAME IS BADASS: Besides the fact that the main character's name is Heather WHAT. XD No seriously, they had a ball with this one since the lead is a female and one of the warnings on the box beside the big M RATING is always
sexual themes. Vincent was pretty leery towards her (and well, everyone) and Claudia kept talking about her BIRTHING A CULT'S GOD. Dude, Heather just wants to go to the mall, stfu you freaks.
This game had a serious creep-out factor going, especially at the Amusement Park -- something so damn happy looks so wrong. The roller coaster, the haunted house, the
carousel (THAT FIGHT :O). Sure, the place was creepy in the first game but the graphics and noises and so on in this one just made it all the kdjafkjsdfkjaskdfjkasjdfskjd-er. It seems like with each game they find a way to make it more vibrant and more dreadful -- how do those two go together? I CAN'T DESCRIBE IT.
As much as I love this game, mega-heavy on the CULT FACTOR made it not as enjoyable as Silent Hill 2 was. I love the story of the Cult and the story behind it, but I like it better when it's in the background, as it is in Silent Hill 2 and later Silent Hill 4: The Room. 1 & 3 link up directly (as does 0rigins, with the two of those) -- and that is awesome, but I like the stand-alone stories better.
ALSO,
ROBBIE THE EM-EFFING RABBIT. YES.
MOST UNSETTLING MOMENT: Undeveloped fetus eating. NEED I SAY MORE?
MOST PRETTY DAMN GORGEOUS MOMENT: Gorgeous and pretty and DAMN in the most "OH SHIT YOU'RE KIDDING ME" way possible -- Heather going back to the apartment to find her dad. I admit, I got teary-eyed. I can't believe they did that to
him.
