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.Read full review
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.Read full review
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.Read full review
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.Read full review
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.
