Clock Tower 3

Terror has a new name?and a new health meter to gauge said terror. Dare you enter the Clock Tower?

With the Resident Evil story arc going to the GameCube, a potential void in the horror genre for the PS2 was imminent. Luckily, Clock Tower 3 is looking every bit as creepy as everyone had hoped. The story opens in London, where heroine Alyssa Hamilton attends boarding school. She learns of trouble at her family house and goes to investigate despite being warned not to by her mother. A mysterious Dark Man who claims to be a houseguest tells Alyssa her mother has stepped out of the house?forever! Frantic, she begins her journey to find out what happened.

The preview version featured easy controls and played more like an action game rather than the standard survival/horror romp. Alyssa has no weapons other than limited amounts of Holy Water that temporarily slow down whatever is pursuing her. This adds a spine-tingling level of tension to all the events that unfold in the game. So far, the graphics and sound are also in fine form with sinister-looking characters and jolting audio cues.
