was playing silent hill 3 demo, right? well, for anyone else who's completed the (admittedly short) demo, when you are walking on the coaster tracks, did you at any point hear something like a 5-or-so year old's short squeal?

I can't tell wether it was the game or something else. no young'ins live here so now i'm confused, like the title says. I actually got up and walked out of the room, then straight back in for a reason i don't know. It just sounded real...

damn you 5.1!

The rest of the demo was equally entertaining and freaky. The teasing camera style lets you only imagine what could be there when you hear the whining monster background noise. It really does overwhelm you at times, and it's played much better in the dark because the game itself is very dimly lit, and the use of particles creates a hazy mist that makes it really eerie.

Also, a very teasing finish to the demo aswell. did she die? was she hit by the speeding coaster? who knows! well, the people who own the game know...

yes, the camera angle has stayed more or less the same throughout the series, but the graphics are now more FF looking, if you know what i mean.

An excellent demo. The whole look and feel of it is very creepy. My only complaint is the poor camera angles at times.

As to if she got knocked over my the rollercoaster? I have no idea. I'll have to get the full game to find out :)
