Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?

UK version for me. I love the grain filter and the empty eyes. It looks like there's something sinister lurking behind them. Which there is...

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
My (potentially controversial) issue with the UK cover is that it feels mysterious and insane in the vein of Silent Hill 2, where the game had a less violent approach to horror. Silent Hill 3 to me, is bloodier, more intense and less dramatic a horror than Silent Hill 2. Therefore, I can see why OP liked the Japanese cover, because it fits that approach, although from a completely biased personal perspective, I don't prefer it.
The US cover is my favourite for this as it feels both more vulnerable and focused. I love them all though, just as I do the games

^ That's a good point. The UK cover does kind of resemble SH2's. While I still think the design for that one is better, The Japanese cover does fit a bit better with the game.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
For me it's a very close tie between US and UK, but I chose US because the UK version is too similar to SH2's cover for my tastes (I don't like thinking of Heather as Angela), and I think the US version does a good job at clearly displaying the main character so we know exactly what she looks like, while still showing her distraught emotional state.

I chose the UK cover. I think it really shows the mood of the game.
That, and it's the version I own.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
I voted the US, though I was stuck between it and the UK cover. I liked how the US cover made Heather appear scared and confused about what's going on, which explains her attitude in the game, other than being pissed off all the time.

I think the JP is the best.In the game shes obviously scared but shes always cool headed and i think the cover represents that fear but in control attitude the best.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
I voted for the JP cover, because I think it looks the coolest. The US cover might technically best represent the game, though.

The Japanese cover is definately cool, but I like the UK cover best for this game.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
I highly dislike the US version of the cover and glared every time I popped it open, but it wasn't as terrible as some game covers have been. To me, the UK version is second best, and the JP cover is best, as it gives me the truest impression on what it's like to play SH3. The fear on her face, the dramatic colors and abstract-ish tile background, along with the big-'ol-bold 3 - I can't be disappointed. I usually prefer the Japanese versions of things like covers and such to their US counterparts, but sometimes it's the other way around.
Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
UK is the best, in my opinion. The US one is too bland and the Japanese one is too action-y looking.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
i voted for the UK cover. Ever since I first discovered all of the different covers for region, i thought it best represented the game. Kind of a confused feel to it. Just like Heather, confused and pissed off. To me the cover says"what the hell is going on? what the hell are you looking at?!" The US cover is good, but more of a *meh* good.
It's a world of someone's nightmarish dillusions come to life.

Voted for the U.S. cover. Also the cover I have to SH3 is like the U.S. cover but a
bit darker. Strange.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
I voted for the U.S. cover, I think Heather looks a bit innocent here. The Japanese cover is # 2 for me. I think it's interesting in it's own way, however I've never really liked the U.K. cover at all. Heather looks completely off her rocker on it.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
I don't like covers dominated by big faces. And, in Silent Hill, I prefer covers without the characters at all. Since that is not an option here, I like the youkay version best because the Japanese version is too ostentatious and the American version is just bad.

Re: Which cover do you think BEST represents the game?
I am going to go with the US Cover. Because it leaves you wanting to know what she is feeling and looking at. Doesnt throw it all out there.
