This has been and always will be my favorite Silent Hill game. While it lacks some of the atmosphere and monster design of 2, the gamplay mechanics are so much more refined and there's plenty of good scares to be had. This game is the most legitimate fun in the series for me. In spite of having less endings than the previous games, it's also much more replayable due to a far larger number of unlockables. A must play for any survival horror fan.
