With monsters in the hallways, blood on the wall and gross-outs lurking behind every corner, "Silent Hill 3" is an all-out assault on the player's sensibilities.
In "Silent Hill 3," the latest addition to the popular horror series from Konami for PlayStation2, players control Heather -- Konami's version of the typical teenage American girl. Heather wears short skirts and hangs out at the mall. (Note to Konami: Girls hanging out at the mall is like, so last year.)
She hangs out at the mall, that is, until a deranged detective chases her through a corridor claiming he wants to talk about her birth. While trying to get away from the gumshoe in overcoat, Heather runs into the women's bathroom and enters a horrific through-the-looking-glass world.
