Avis sur le produitClock Tower 3 (Sony PlayStation 2, 2003)

Very Good Game but wasnt advertised enough.

This game has no relation to the other two Clock Towers, though the Main character's Name is the same as the one in Clock Tower II.

the story starts off as Alyssa sitting down outside school i believe, she reads a letter from ther mom, warning her to stay away from home until her 15th birthday. Alyssa recieves a phone call from her mom but nobody answers on the other end. Alyssa speeds back home to an empty mansion and a stranger in her home warning her of terror coming her way.

Alyssa slips into weird different worlds, some that seem to take place back into the 1930s. some worlds has its own demon who kills innocent victims and you will relive their teriffying moments. there optional unsent spirits that you have the option of healing if you return the item they want. and in return you will recieve items from them that will REALLY help you along the way.

Your enemies randomly come out and chase you around, so you have to be on alert at all times, try not to make any noises by running and knocking over stuff such as cans or items on tables that trigger them to find you. You are also given special points to either hide or fight back with weapons. you also have holy water that stuns your enemies but you have to constantly refill them at little water fountains.

Alyssa also has a panic meter, if an enemy tries to hit you or even misses, her panic meter will go up. if the enemy is near but can't seem to find you becuase youre hiding, it will also go up. if it reaches the max, Alyssa will go crazy, tripping over her own steps and even freezing, shaking becuase she's too scared to move, that gets very annoying. just mash the buttons like crazy or use the Lavender in the inventory.

The graphics are very, very nice. i dont think yorue allowed to turn off the captions but the dialouge is pretty cool.

after the game, you do receive points which i have no idea what are for, but you given a dresser Key to Alyssa's room. She has about 4 to 5 outfits to choose from. the only downfall is that the outfits wont show up in the cutscenes. also a New game is a bit harder.

i dont think people knew much about this game, which is why it got a poor rating and hasnt helped in motivation to make a 4th one. but its very worth buying if you enjoy horror.Lire l'avis complet...

Clock Tower 3 (Playstation 2)

For those who haven't heard about them, the Clock Tower series is a disturbing one. The games are full of suspense and graphic scenes of violence and horror. That being said, this was a great game that did not fail to live up to its expectations.
The unique camera angles and control system can seem frustrating at times, but it is there to add to the suspense. There's a reason why at some times you must walk around corners or down hallways without being able to see where you're going or where you came from: there's usually a psycho killer waiting for you!
Clock Tower 3 is a great example of survival horror, taking a simple "Escape the Mansion" deal and adding a crazy person with a poison gas canister and sulfuric acid that you must run from. Its an easy game to pick up, but you might get frustrated with how much of a wimp the 13 year old main character is sometimes, and of course the tradition cheesiness that Capcom can't help but add.Lire l'avis complet...

Not Bad

After trying out the Clock Tower for the SNES and liking it (yes, despite the cheesy graphics XD), I decided to give 3 a shot. I admit I did have fun, but one thing that put me off was how weak the ending was compared to the rest of game.

*Warning, contains some spoilers*
The first stage occurs in London during the WW2 era, and this is where the game really shows off the ambiance and sound of the environment; the wreckage, the city itself, and the haunting music playing in the background. You get chased by Sledgehammer (his name pretty much explains it all), staying true to the "chase and hide" Clock Tower style of game play. One new thing about the game is that you actually fight the boss at the end of each stage. The battles definitely get more challenging towards the end, which may frustrate some players.

The game has its "freak you out" moments in both cut-scenes and game play, though the effect is diminished with some of the characters (let's just say some of them are not all that frightening, like the Scissor-twins, who remind me of mimes...with big scissors). The chase is also a bit more challenging because the bad guys are faster this time around. This isn't too much of a problem because the game gives you some items to help you out.

As for sound and music, the game does a good job. The voice acting is actually decent (although one of the villians has an annoying voice), and the music really fits the horror atmosphere.

Even though overall I enjoyed the game, I feel as though the ending could have been done better. It feels like the developers rushed with the last parts of the game, and the final boss battle was disappointing, though very challenging. I also wish that the game were longer; the first time I played through I finished it in only several hours. But all in all it is a decent horror game, though if you don't like the chase-and-hide method of game play, you probably won't like this game.Lire l'avis complet...

clock tower 3

I thought that it was a great game! Although Clock Tower 3 can get a little annoying at times, its still an enjoyable game. Running away from bad guys over and over again isn't all this game has to offer though, there are many puzzels and mini features you can unlock. Also after beating the game the first time you can go and play on your file again to get a much harder virsion of the game. (recomended for advance players only)
Some down pointers to this game though could be the fact that you repeat the same actions alot and you can get bored of it very easily. A very short game too...only lasting me a good ten hours the first time i plaid the game and then 4 hours the next, this isn't really a time consuming game. But still is very fun once you get the hang of it!
If I were you I would get it, but remember its rated M so you should be older then 18 to play. Enjoy.Lire l'avis complet...

Thriller.

Clock Tower 3 is part of a horror-genre franchise that started when someone had the genius idea that a man with a giant pair of hedge trimmers chasing a teenage girl around a clock tower was a great video game. Since then the music, scenarios, and graphics have only improved. I'm not saying this game is the best of the 3 but it's got terrifying serial killers mixed in with victims that are constantly tugging at your heart strings. As you set out to save them you'll find a few side quests in each place, and not only get the chance to help the victims rest in peace but find out a few more things about your own characters life..

Overall, great game.Lire l'avis complet...

Very good; High quality

Very good product, at a decent price (for old Survival Horror games anyway, which tend to be pricier). Very good quality; the disc is pretty much immaculate, which makes me very happy. My only gripe is the lack of booklet, since I just like having those, but that was stated upfront, in the title, so I knew that beforehand. Overall, very very satisfied with my purchase!Lire l'avis complet...

An Interesting Piece of Video Game History

Clock Tower 3 is an interesting piece of video game history. As the last installment in the Clock Tower series, it attempted to polish and refine the experience found in the previous games while trying to make itself stand out. As far as I'm concerned, it succeeded. If you're interested in getting into horror gaming or if you're new to the horror genre itself, this is the perfect game for you to jump in.Lire l'avis complet...

Great Introduction into Survival/Horror

This is one of my all time favorite games. This was the first Horror/Survival game I ever played and I loved it. I think this is a good game to try if you have not played Survival games before. If you are a hard-core horror gamer, you may find this is on the mild end of the scary game spectrum.

The game in not overly complicated and is somewhat straightforward but not boring. That does not mean that you cannot get stuck trying to figure out what to do or where to go next. If you miss a small detail or have to run through areas to explore while you are being chased (yes, you get chased), you may be confused for a while.

Like I said, the game is not overly compacted in my opinion and I did not think that it was extremely scary. There are a few jump scares but not a whole lot and they are not that bad. So if you really like that big jump scare stuff, you will probably not get it from this game unless you have the volume up high or use head phones and turn the lights off. However, the game has some very brutal content. There really is not any major gore, just blood and brutality.

Unfortunately, I would say that the game does not have a high replay value. I say this because after you complete the game once, you know where everything is the second time around. However, there is a hard mode you can play on after you play it through once and a few outfits you will unlock. For some dumb reason after you beat the hard mode you have to start over on the regular mode if you want to play again. Let me explain it further, after you beat hard mode it does not really let the game save. When you try to access that same save file again, it just stays at the last point you saved at before you beat it, so your save file just stays saved at the point just before the last boss. It seems to be a program design flaw. A plus is that the hard mode is really worth playing after you beat the regular mode. The added difficulty makes you have to change your strategies especially during boss fights because the bosses change their tact-ticks as well, plus the enemies’, costumes, well mostly weapons, are different and for the last boss especially, look cooler. The weapons are still the same type of weapons, they are just cooler looking.

If you are still reading this review, then you are hopefully interested in what this game will be like. Just to describe it a little further even though it is a survival/horror game, there is a time for each enemy that you will be able to actually fight them. Most of the game you are running around pretty much all but helpless. You carry around a bottle of holy water and splash the bad guys with it to temporarily stun them (it does not last long). You can only carry so much holy water at a time. You start out with three splashes at the beginning. There are a few onetime use items you will find along the way that help you survive as well. You do not have a health bar in the regular game play, instead, you have a panic meter. The more the enemies scare you or hurt you, the higher it goes up and when it gets too high, your charter, Alyssa, panics and becomes very hard to control. If attacked while in a panic, you die and get a game over. The level of panic decreases as you keep a safe distance from an enemy. The only time you have a regular health bar is when you are in a boss battle.

If you end up liking this game, Capcom also makes another game called Haunting Ground that is extremely similar to this game, however not as affordable as this one.

Thank you for reading this review, hopefully it was helpful to you.Lire l'avis complet...

A fun little romp.

I had a fun time playing through this little gem. Having already played through the original Clock Tower games, I knew this would be the odd one out. Despite that, I had a blast. Gameplay is pretty straightforward, story is nothing too groundbreaking, but the villains and the cutscenes were my favorite parts. I haven’t laughed that hard in a long while. I definitely recommend this game to anyone who doesn’t need only serious horror scenarios.Lire l'avis complet...

An ok horror, but not as good as it's originals.

Well, you can't really say that this game has anything to do with the original games in the series, mainly because Capcom bought the rights from Human for the series.

For starters, Capcom strayed away from the series main antagonist, the Scissorman (there IS two bosses in the game called Scissorman and Scissorwoman, but are not related to the original Bobby or Dan from the older games), and decided to make some guy called ''Dark Gentlemen''. If that's not generic enough, we also have Chopper and Sledgehammer. Can't get more generic than that.

The whole basis of the game is that you are running away from these villains until you can find an item of sentimental value. Then you can whoop their pasty butts with a bow and fire the crap out of them. Now here's another one of my biggest gripes on this game. You can kill the bosses EASILY. All you do is take a few steps back and fire a fully charged shot. If you can land ONE charged shot, they are stuck, and you can then proceed to blast the crap out of them.

Also, the game is too short and the puzzles are too easy. Bear in mind that this is from the same company that makes Resident Evil, so that should make no sense at all. Also, there's very little ''horror'' to this game as in the original series. Back in the SNES Clock Tower, you didn't know what to expect. However, when you have successfully completed this game, you can easily re-beat it in under 2 and a half hours. Easily. The only thing you get for beating it is some very skimpy costumes and a Theater mode. Overall, there's little replay value to it. One more gripe is the story. It's very VVVEEERRRYYYY generic, and about half-way through you'll guess how it begins and ends...but then again, the ending itself is strange...it explains nothing...but you can play it yourself to find out why.

Now keep in mind the game does have its moments. Some of the cinematics are very well done, and some of the voice acting is good (although definitely not all the time.) My favorite characters throughout the game were the Scissorman and Scissorwoman, with their sick demented attitudes and evil schemes. And while the story may be generic, the characters emotions are done well. Alyssa is always tripping over herself in cinematics, and it goes to show that your character is human and can be easily scared of any situation, not some guy who can pelt hundreds of bullets into the undead.

Overall, the game is OK. If you can get it for relatively cheap, I'd check it out. However, if you do not possess the means if getting it, see if you can rent some PS2 games somewhere. It is at least worth $2 for a few days.Lire l'avis complet...
