[Infernal Mass]

It seemed to be more of a continuation of the first game's plot. Rather than standing all on it's own like the second Silent Hill game. I have no compliants here though, i thought it was a very well done project. My favorite of the series thus far, because it opened a book that had already been closed and continued on with an already great game.

SH3, has the best audio and visuals out right now for the PS2. A graphical and audio showcase second to none. The load times were short too, given the huge amount of detail in the enviorments

If you haven't played the first and second you won't be getting the full experiance SH3 has to offer. That said, the game will most likely seem shallow. (There's scenes and character interactions that are unlocked with SH2 save data. Also beating the first game sets up the stage for the 3rd.)

Alot of people are saying that the game is about 2 hours long... It's not, maybe if you have it on easy riddles and easy combat..with a walkthrough in hand and constantly running around everywhere. I got to the town in like 4 1/2 hours..finished the game in about 7 hours total.

There's a good amount of extras too, unlocked by meeting certain objectives. Which adds to the longevity of the title. Which is always cool. Some are real cool too.
