Silent Hill 3 Free Download Unfitgirl First thing about this game…and be warned, it’s a four-letter word: “Port.” Go on, desensitize yourself now: Port, port, port. As with Silent Hill 2 before it, Silent Hill 3 for the PC is an essentially straight port of the console version, mechanical issues and all — but it’s no less creepy for all that, and that’s what you’re here for, after all. In this wonderfully loose, versatile language of ours, “port” can have a number of meanings. In addition to covering the translation of a gaming experience from one platform to another, it can also mean, among others things, A) a place of safe haven, or B) a form of alcoholic beverage. Both good things to have on hand after a few hours in the Silent Hill universe. The Silent Hill series has been pretty nasty from the outset — that old PS1 game (that now looks so comparatively crunchy) still has some baaaaad moments, even in the first few minutes of gameplay (the first time I came across that wheelchair in the alley, my girlfriend pointed at the screen and muttered “That’s not good,” a phrase which thenceforth became my personal mantra for anything I didn’t like the look of in Silent Hill games). In this third game, the story revolves around a fundamentally everyday main character; still no elite, paramilitary cops here, thank you kindly. This time, however, our protagonist is an unwilling participant who could hardly be less like her two game-hero predecessors Unfitgirl.COM SEXY GAMES

Instead of being a male (and somewhat bland) thirtysomething entering the haunted town of Silent Hill of his own free will to address a real or perceived wrong, our ‘hero’ is instead a moody girl named Heather who A) doesn’t live anywhere near Silent Hill, B) only begins to suspect something is out of whack when a middle-aged stranger in a trenchcoat accosts her in the corridor to a public restroom, and C) only wants to hang out at the local shopping mall, like any other by-God American teenager. “By-God.” Yes, that’s a recurring problem here… particularly when the mall in question goes suddenly and inexplicably straight to Hell, taking Heather–and the player–with it. While Silent Hill 2 took a while to get rolling, Silent Hill 3 immediately finds Heather in an “amusement park” that gives the whole notion a bad name. The mall, too, soon ‘goes bad,’ its clean, capitalist confines suddenly becoming ruined, hellish doppelgangers of themselves — dark, rusty, bloody, unpleasant in all major respects. Before long, Heather’s entire world is crawling with monsters. Much has remained mechanically true to the series (the menus, the difficulty levels, the viewpoint), but Silent Hill 3 boasts improvements across the board. At least Silent Hill 3 is a little more generous with the weapons: In addition to pipes and a less-than-ideal knife

The beginning of the end

Heather has relatively quick access to more serious weapons, including a pistol, an Uzi, a shotgun, and a stun-gun. Heather can strafe left and right as she confronts the monstrosities of Silent Hill, and if she bookends her attacks with well-timed, single-button blocks, the katana is surprisingly-effective weapon once you get the hang of it, even on tougher enemies. Monsters are everywhere, their proximity announced by the shrieking static of Silent Hill’s now-famous malfunctioning pocket radio. Some players may find the radio annoying and turn it off, while others will find that it adds a level of aural tension. Silent Hill 3 benefits greatly from its new PC platform, offering 1920×1440 screen rez, even greater texture rez, and various toggleable lighting/dynamic-shadow options; if your rig has the guts, it looks quite a bit better than the PS2 version (no graphical slouch to begin with), and has some top-notch character modeling. Things are somewhat less hopeful on the control front: There’s the 2D keyboard control scheme as an option, and the default 3D control… but neither is ideal, so expect to do a little remapping. Better still, consider the option of a gamepad. In any case, Heather still maneuvers like a lithe, mini-skirted barge, and will still be more vulnerable and less-maneuverable than she ought to be, especially when some wrong-looking thing is shambling down a dimly-lit corridor in her direction, but that’s become a survival-horror staple by now; some would even consider it a dramatic tension bonus.

All of this is well and good, but a horror game does and should come down to one main question: Is it scary, or at least continually disturbing? Oh yes, on a number of levels. Firstly, Silent Hill 3 very obviously and deliberately goes back to its gaming roots in terms of sheer gore and nastiness — rooms and other chambers are streaked with blood, hideous, limping things that can no longer be called ‘nurses’ wobble through dark corridors, and the high-end visuals allow the very walls to throb and bleed. Secondly, the game is rather more directly occultic than its previous incarnation (which, while also great, opted for a more internalized horror-story), and there’s a lot of dark religious imagery floating around that just adds another disturbing dimension (it certainly feels a lot like the first game in this regard, with many oblique and direct visual references to classic horror movies, Jacob’s Ladder chief among them). Thirdly, Silent Hill 3 isn’t afraid to just shut the hell up and use silence, the most of ominous of warnings. Lastly — like any good horror-flick — Silent Hill 3 knows when to occasionally drop the brooding, high-minded artsy stuff… and go for the good, solid, reliable cheap-jack scare; Designers Ito Masahiro and Yamaoka Akira are geniuses, but they aren’t too proud for that. And if you’re playing the game the right way — alone, in the dark, with a good sound system and/or headphones — you’ll jump for it like a good little chump

I’m not even worried about warning you, because it doesn’t matter one bit. Enjoy. First things first. Silent Hill 3 is enough to make you vomit–not because of the blood and gore, of which there’s plenty, but because of the clunky controls and wild camera system. They’re so awkward, disorienting, and motion sickness-inducing that there are many times when you’ll want to quit the game in disgust. You get two basic camera/movement options. With one system, character movement is relative to the camera. In the other, movement is relative to the character’s view. To further confuse matters, you can also look around rapidly, in a small arc, while holding down a particular key. Additionally, the game sometimes switches your view to draw your attention to something or to merely create a dramatic visual. What this all boils down to is that the camera is frequently pointing away from where you want to look. Oftentimes, an attacking creature–and sometimes even your character–is hidden from view. You can theoretically reorient the camera, but it’s usually sluggish, or it simply won’t move around properly in tight areas. The movement controls were clearly designed with a gamepad in mind, though you can use the keyboard, albeit awkwardly. Elex II PS5 

For added frustration, you have to engage a special “caution” mode before attacking enemies. When other third-person console games, like Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell, get ported to the PC with smooth, easy controls and camera views, there’s really no excuse for Silent Hill 3’s problems to exist. If you can get past the clunky camera and controls, Silent Hill 3 has some cool things to offer. The heroine is interesting. She’s just an ordinary teenage girl named Heather who means well but also has a bit of an attitude. After an introductory sequence with a surprise twist, we find Heather in a burger joint in a shopping mall. She heads off to call her dad to let him know that she’s coming home soon, but then she meets up with a supposed detective who wants to talk to her about her birth. Heather doesn’t want anything to do with the guy, so she heads into the ladies’ room and then bolts through a window that leads into a back alley. When you lead Heather back into the mall through a service entrance, things start to go very wrong. The halls are now empty, most of the shops are barred shut, and suddenly you come face-to-face with some kind of hellhound who’s sloppily munching on a corpse. Fortunately, you also find a pistol for dealing with just such an eventuality. One of the neatest things about this whole opening segment is the way the game shifts between cutscenes and in-game action.

Over the Top Horror

The graphics are all so good that you may not even notice, at first, that a cutscene has ended, and you’re now suddenly in control. Konami obviously wanted to create a lot of cinematic atmosphere, and they sure succeeded. Really, atmosphere is what Silent Hill 3 is all about–not story or logic. (Logic has little to do with real horror, anyway.) Heather seems to be an average girl, yet she amazingly doesn’t seem particularly frightened when she spots all sorts of gibbering, shambling, blood-soaked creatures who are feasting on corpses–or trying to feast on her. Even Rambo would run like hell from that. Early on, she meets a pale, frail-looking woman named Claudia, who starts rambling on about rebirth and paradise. This upsets Heather a bit, but then it’s back to business as usual, which means casually roaming through a big mall that insidiously grows ever creepier. Throughout the game, you revisit many areas that used to be relatively clean and well lit. Later, however, you find them to be dilapidated and cloaked in shadow. Blood now stains the walls, grit covers the rotten frames of smashed windows, and once-shiny doors are now rusted. Even though you go for extremely long stretches with no story or character progression and no understanding of what the heck is going on, the transformations of the mall and other areas (like an office building and a sanitarium) into truly nightmarish realms is handled with admirable skill.

Konami understands that what you don’t see is usually more frightening than what you do see, so the developers let your imagination do a lot of the work in building up scares. Most of the time, you’ll wander quiet, deserted halls (illuminated only by the weak beam of your flashlight), with no signs of life. Suddenly a tortured moan will echo down a hall, or your portable radio will produce a blast of static to indicate a monster is nearby–a Silent Hill trademark. In fact, you’ll encounter your fair share of monsters, but the real scares come a bit too infrequently, so the eerie atmosphere loses some of its impact during the middle of the game when you start to get used to it all. Fortunately, there are some very creepy moments near the end–not to mention a disturbing and disgusting finale. When you encounter creatures, you can run like mad, distract some of them with beef jerky (seriously), or fight them off with a knife, lead pipe, shotgun, or other weapon. Combat is pretty rudimentary, with aiming mostly handled for you, so fights will probably seem pretty lame to anyone used to PC shooters and/or action games. Practically needless to say, your toughest adversary in the game–the camera–often makes combat feel more like work than play. During the slow, tension-building stretches between battles and expository cutscenes, you’ll solve a handful of puzzles, mostly about how to unlock doors.

Silent Hill 3 offers something lots of PC adventure games could learn from: At the beginning of the game, you choose the difficulty of the puzzles. The game even offers hints on the easiest puzzle difficulty setting. Furthermore, there’s a separate setting for combat difficulty, and the PC version lets you save whenever you want, so Silent Hill 3 is as easy or hard as you want it to be. It’s not the combat or puzzles but the presentation that steals the show. The game overuses a lot of visual motifs, but the graphics are still wonderful and reflect a masterful use of light and shadow, in addition to some stomach-turning, hair-raising visual effects that will make you do a double take. Meticulously detailed textures and a special visual filter tend to give everything a grainy, brittle, antique look. The creatures are well crafted, too. There are hellish dogs with their faces riven in two, walking tumors, giant alien mannequins, undead nurses, and more. What really makes the monsters stand out are their odd movements–like how a creature’s body might lope along while its head quivers about spastically. It just feels totally wrong, which is a great thing for a horror game. Aside from very uneven voice-overs, the audio works wonders too, with subtle sound effects and a soundtrack of industrial noise that kicks in at just the right moments.
