Redwood City, CA (August 5, 2003) - Konami today announced that Silent
Hill 3 for the PlayStation 2 has shipped to retail outlets nationwide.
From Konami:
As the third entry in the landmark horror series, the psychological drama of
Silent Hill® 3 is characterized by a terrifying narrative, spectacular graphics
and a bloodcurdling soundtrack.
To further enhance the interactive experience of the game, Konami is
packing-in a bonus CD featuring the game's award-winning music soundtrack. Akira
Yamaoka, producer at Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo has composed, performed
and arranged the chilling 60-minute recording. Available exclusively in North
America, the soundtrack features the game's distinctively dark instrumental
score as well as four vocal tracks.
Silent Hill® 3 introduces players to Heather Morris, the series' first-ever
lead female character. In the role of this teenager, gamers will struggle to
survive the attacks of grotesque monsters while exploring a host of hair-raising
locales, including a spooky shopping mall, a monster-infested amusement park and
abandoned alleyways. Unravelling the mystery that links Heather to the town of
Silent Hill® hinges on the players' quick reflexes, the ability to solve
challenging puzzles and a proficiency with an arsenal of deadly weapons.
Silent Hill® 3 traps players in a nightmarish world full of unimaginable
psychological horrors, populated by gruesome and gut-wrenching creatures. Wading
through clouds of confusion, players will unfold the game's disturbing plot, one
twist at a time. Its frightening storyline and haunting religious undertones are
realized through gory visuals and vivid imagery. Using proprietary graphics
technology that has been created specifically for this game, the creepy
creatures, textured surroundings, striking real-time cut-scenes and highly
detailed characters pulse with life.
