Silent Hill 3 - resembles closely that of its two predecessors, the three main gameplay elements being combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving.
Combat, as exploration, takes place in third-person view, with the
player able to equip weapons found throughout the game. Heather may also
block and perform side-step maneuvers to avoid enemies As a series staple, the flashlight and radio return, the latter of which crackles when monsters are in proximity.
Players can set the difficulty of both the combat and puzzle elements of the game separately.
In the case of the puzzle difficulties, there is a large difference
between the "medium" difficulty level and the "hard" difficulty level;
one of the puzzles on the "medium" level requires only simple pattern
recognition, while the "hard" difficulty level version of the same
puzzle requires knowledge of Shakespeare plays to complete. The game also features unlockable weapons and costumes.
