You are CORRECT.

Funny enough the US Silent Hill 2 box art looks better than the PAL, and the US box art is actually more like SH3's PAL box art.

Nice. Homecoming is the only one I don't own. I like them all. Shattered Memories is my least favorite, but if my wii wasn't broke Id play it again and see if my opinion changed, with the knowledge that all the enemy encounters suck. That's kind of all I remember. I just hated that there was no threat during exploration.

I just think picture 1 captures the game's vibe more.

Silent Hill 3 is considered by some fans to be the ultimate SH game (although I still prefer 2)

2 is like a bad PCP trip or something whereas 3 is a very straightforward continuation of 1.

Of the ones I've played:

2 > 3 > 1 > Downpour > Homecoming

I didn't hate Downpour or Homecoming though tbh, they just have some pretty big flaws.

Actually, I like the top-half of the JP artwork for Silent Hill 3.



[ Very good ground-and-figure imagery. It's the bottom-half that's off-putting--too many graphic art labels, either over-sized, linear, or with poor blend/contrast. ]
.

Years ago, Game Case World had a "Limited Edition" series of custom Silent Hill 1-5 artwork in clear translucent DVD cases. Very nice, but an incomplete set.

Looking at the top-half of each Silent Hill 3 black label version (front cover artwork, banner removed)...



... from most to least narrative artwork. For top-half only, definitely "J" version; for whole cover, "U/C" version.
.

The GCW SH3 artwork was great, but *this* (below) probably is the best SH3 fan-made artwork I've seen.

PAL boxart was routinely way better in the 90s/00s. unfortunately they all tend to be the same these days
