Silent HillŪ 3 is the largest, most ambitious and gripping Silent Hill title to date. Moving away from the mist-shrouded streets of the first two games, Silent HillŪ 3 focuses on a new female character that shares a link with the sinister town. Heather, a carefree young lady, is on a trip to her local shopping center when her life is turned upside down. As she prepares to leave, the shops and brightly lit walkways are transformed into a dark, brooding place where eerie noises echo around the empty corridors and where grotesque, misshapen creatures can be glimpsed fleetingly amidst the shadows.               
                       
Trapped in this inhospitable world, Heather is forced to fight for her life. Grotesque apparitions and lumped shapes shadow her every move, while an army of bizarre creatures lurk in dark corners and empty rooms. Armed with whatever she can find - including pistols, a sub-machine gun and a steel pipe - Heather must fend off their advances while solving the mysteries that will gradually piece together why she is trapped in this hellish world.
