Away from the shlock B-movie stylings of the Resident Evil series, the Silent Hill games have carved, with a particularly rusty machete, a rather different niche for themselves with a line in taut psychological horror that really gets under your skin rather than just providing a few cheap shocks. The games' primary means of achieving this is via their superb graphics and sound which immediately create an oppressive atmosphere where you're constantly in fear of exactly what manner of evil will happen next.
Unfortunately veterans of the series will know that more often than not; nothing much ever does happen next, except maybe the appearance of one of the small number of stock enemies. They'll also be perturbed by the constant recycling of backdrops in this third edition--particularly in yet another visit to the Silent Hill hospital. The game does stop pulling its punches for the especially disturbing last third of the adventure though, and anyone new to Silent Hill is likely to be scared silly for its entire duration.
The game's other faults, such as a clunky control system and storyline are (for no apparent reason) stocks of the survival horror trade so it would take a particularly surly gamer to deny the game's obvious quality. It'll also take someone with concrete underpants to remain unfazed by the whole thing, particularly the church with the bleeding walls.... (more)(less)

"Ninja Theory
I wish Vatra, the studio that developed the fantastic Silent Hill: Downpour could return to the franchise, but I can’t see that happening any time soon. I also don’t see Konami picking up the reins again, so that leaves us with the only other option: a new studio. My pick? Ninja Theory, of course, and here’s why.
When you think of the staples of the Silent Hill franchise, the visuals, music, and characters are the first things that come to mind, right?
If games like Heaven"

"What happens?
How to achieve it?
After defeating 333 monsters Heather acquires the Heather Beam (which is only possible after multiple playthroughs though). With this Heather Beam she has to kill at least 30 monsters before she enters her old home in the Daisy Villa Apartments. With these circumstances having been met the UFO ending plays as soon as she has entered the room.
Personal Comment: This ending is so fantastic because it kinda picks off where the last one ended and convinces with it"
