So I'm a major die-hard Silent Hill fan, as many of you guys are as well. Anyone who has looked into the HD Collection knows that this game has had some...shall we say harsh reviews. When I first discovered this Remaster I was so excited to buy it as soon as I saw it, but before I did I researched it and came to find that it was notoriously a broken piece of trash. This crushed my heart, as it did so many others. When this game was first released there was a day one patch, which says a lot. I mean, if a game comes out and it AUTOMATICALLY has an update patch before you can play it that's when you know something's wrong. Turns out this game was released out of pure laziness. It came with lots of freezing, sound glitches, subtitle/dialogue lag, bugs, and errors galore! After hearing about all of its faults I waited more than a year before I broke down and bought it. I bought this December 2014, and it got here very early and after reading that it was improved I had high hopes! After admiring the beautiful artwork of the cover, I popped in in my PS3 and booted up Silent Hill 3, my personal favorite game out of the SH series. Let me tell you something, it works (for me) almost flawlessly. I am almost 6 hours into the game (only at the hospital right now because I take my SWEET time in games like these, especially because every corner of this game is nostalgic for me and I am greedy and want every single door opened and every supply found) and so far it has ran almost perfectly. I will not lie to you and say that it's 100% flawless, though. So far the errors I've occurred have been:
- Froze twice, both at the Dance Academy for some reason.
- The voice dialogue has lagged for me one time, which isn't an issue to me personally. I don't fuss over stuff like that, I fuss over errors that BREAK the game. This game is 12 years old so I will give Konami a break.
- Subtitles occasionally are different than the dubbed voice, but seeing as though there are new voice actors (I prefer the original SH3 cast personally but again the change isn't game-breaking!) the script is a little bit different.
I have not played through Silent Hill 2 yet but I have heard that it has virtually no problems. There are new voice actors in SH2 also but unlike SH3 you can choose between the new and old voice actors. But Troy Baker is in the new SH2 so hey, his smooth voice is nicer to hear than the awkward sooo-ries/aboots from the original. (Still love the original actors, though!)
Overall, as broken as this game once was the Playstation 3 release of it has been mended enough to where your experience will be pleasant and you will not encounter too many problems. If you wanna be safe, just try and get your hands on the original copies of Silent Hill 2 and Silent Hill 3, but otherwise have fun exploring the streets of hell and remember kids:
" In my restless dreams I see that town; Silent Hill. I'll be waiting for you...in our special place."

Not as bad as I thought
The product came in on time I had over night shipping through Amazon when I opened package the game case was sealed and new however the case was cracked on the top (as you see In the picture) granted I have lose PS3 covers so I can change it out that's not a big deal and the game did install and boot up just fineSo far the game works fine I am aware on how had the HD collection is but I don't want to have to dish out almost $100 for both Silent Hill 2 and 3 on the PS2 I understand they are better and superior to the HD collection but unfortunately those games have skyrocket in price and I can't bring myself to play themI understand there are the PC versions but unfortunately I don't have a PC yet so I can't give my opinion on those but this is the only way I can experience the games for now so there's no shame In getting these this is more of a casually experience for those who want to try out the series with breaking bank and who don't have access to the PC version
