The Silent Hill series is great because of the story, and because of this I can't stress enough how important it is not to post spoilers in this thread. When talking about the story, however slight it may be, please use the 'Spoiler' tag that can be found in the top right of the posting window.
If you do not wish to read this thread in fear of spoilers, then I'll just leave you with this:
Fans of Silent Hill will not be disappointed.
Ok, with that out of the way...
So far I'm about an hour into the game, and so far I've been freaked out...about 80% of the time. The graphics are by far the best I've ever seen on the PS2, even rivalling that on the Xbox or Gamecube. The character models and lighting effects are generations ahead of previous SH games.
Puzzles have so far been quite straight forward, while the story has been quite odd. Combat feels slightly easier than before, with the added (I think, can't quite remember) use of Side Step, with the shoulder buttons.
So far, so good. And the music is up with SH2, easily.
Silent Hill 3 is officially out tommorow on PAL, but was available today from various stores. It's getting a world-wide release in July, with added soundtrack.
