Not nearly as scary as it could be, however.. | | Michelle Williams from Casa Grande, AZ, USA says (28/Jul/2003): | I do agree that Clock Tower 3 is a great game indeed, but as said before, it lacks in a few different areas.
From the beggining of game play, my thoughts were traced back to Silent Hill and Resident Evil, as those being some of my favourite Survival/Horror games. Clock Tower 3 was obviously scarier than Resident Evil, Code: Veronica X ever was, but not nearly as scary as Silent Hill 2 was to me. I found Clock Tower 3 was only scary until the second stage (After Sledgehammer), in which then I was used to all of the "sudden actions" of the enemies of the main character. I do admit, it had me freaked, but kept me playing, but only for so long.
Silent Hill 2, on the other hand, I thought was so incredibly scary, that I had to put my t.v. on mute at times and play music of my own because I was so weirded out from the background sounds of the game. Silent Hill 2 certainly was a frightening trip. I'm not saying Clock Tower 3 is a poor game, for it is not, I find it a must-have for the Survival/Horror gamer, that is, only if you have the paitence to die nearly as many times as I did during the Boss Battles. :)
I also admit that I do like the Panic Metre of the game, instead of the Health Bar, which adds a bit of suspense, especially when the Panic Metre reaches its peak and the effects that take place. And out of all the "high points" I find in Clock Tower 3, the Boss Battles could be somewhat "better". :P
| I love this game! | | Mystial Dreamer from not telling, somewhere, Canada says (29/Sep/2003): | When I had first played this game, i thought it was stupid. then I had figured it out, and it scared the pants off of me! I've screamed, blew fits and spent hours on the game. However, im still only on Chapter one. I know how to get the Pliers, i did it last night. ive searched up a few cheats and i understand what to do now. Although, i keep getting killed shortly after i get the matches. I wish i had saved when i got the pliers the first time. My Mum and I were all happy that i was finally getting somewhere. But, i fell off the plank of wood and died. I was really mad. so, ive been trying over, but i always get a little startled when he sees you up on the stage. So, Alyssas starting to get scared and then he swings the mallot, just missing her. She starts to hyperventilate, causing her to stop, and remember, use Lavendar Water or press the X Button 'till she gets going again. I hope to get past this lever soon, though. :) (Sorry for spelling mistakes, lol.)
