Siren Immediately

Well, to rate this game fairly you need to look t it from a different view. Unlike other games in the horror genre (e.g Silent Hill, Resident Evil,...etc.) this game actually tries to set a different standard of horror. A horror that's constantly looming and lurking.

This game is composed of little games led by different characters, and they range from the very young to the very old, the very fit to the very blind! Yes blind!. Each character has their share of strength, weakness and weapon (if any for that matter) and the missions are set at different times of the day (or night) in a (something went wrong type of) village.

Now, as I have read from other reviews on this page that the gameplay is frustrating at (or all) times, but that is due to the fact that they are playing the game alone! This game should not be played alone as I have discovered, but you should surround yourself with a group of people (family and/or friends) as each character may or may not appeal to you.

As aforementioned, the horror is constantly looming and lurking by the loitering "Shibitos" (zombies in japanese it would seem!) at the corners, behind the bushes or falling at you from the sky! You can choose to sightjack the "Shibitos" (as in tapping to their vision telepathically to view their positions) or opt for our (the gang and I) quick method of legging it! (running for the character's life!) since you cannot kill a "Shibito" by shooting or bludgeonning as it will only curl to slumber for a minute or so.

This game should be given justice and not be compared with the like of "Silent Hill" or "Resident Evil" as it really does strive to set a new horror standard. Just stick to my advice of not playing it alone and legging the character throughout the mission and you maybe able to complete the game. We have. Twice!

A Japanese friend bought the JAPAN version of "Siren 2" boy! does it look creepy. I can't hardly wait for the english version to come out so the gang and I could pull our socks up and start legging it again!Get more detail about Siren.
