Silent Hill 3 is far from being the scariest game of the series IMO. It's clearly done in a hurry, in fact characters have not the depth of the ones of the preceding games, and the story is pretty boring and not much developed for most of the game. Plus, I never, and I mean never, felt uncomfortable or scared playing it, while I was terrified both by SH and SH2. It's the weakest game of the series, but I think if you're a fan you definitely must get this one too.

EDIT:


Yeah, I've read the review yesterday, because I had some doubts regarding the fact I didn't like this game as the other two, and well, it's very very detailed and incredibly accurate. Thanks a lot Harry for taking the time to write all of it! I found it really interesting to read, and that's odd because I think most reviews are extremely irritating and boring (one of the reasons I came to this site was because I liked reading the reviews, lol), so if you want a clearer idea on it, maybe you should read it too.
You said it all! I played the first game a lot of times, and the second one even more... and I think exactly what you said. I've noticed that unlike other websites, the reviews here are more than "I give this game this score. Period". They add something that can make them really interesting to read. I also loved SH2 review on this site. So, nice job guys!

Edit: Also on my opinion this was the less scary game of the series. I never came close to feel the fear I had playing the first Silent Hill and some moments of Silent Hill 2. Like Harry said, "disgust" was the theme here.
