Not the game of choice...

I was so disappointed with this game. I had before heard great things about it. That it was scary, fun, creative...you get the idea. So, I went hunting for it. I found it used for ten bucks. Good thing it was only ten!
I took it to a friend's house and we started playing it. The controls were quite difficult to figure out, not to mention annoying. The characters simply die way too fast. Sure, it's realistic, whatever. But in how many games do you die this quickly? Very few.
And I dunno about anyone else...but my friend and I were actually laughing at the first part. The zombie policeman with the gun. I'm sorry, but I don't find that scary...I don't know whether to think it's funny or stupid.
My other hate about it...the voices. Ok, for a game like this where the characters are of obvious backgrounds, you don't give them British accents! It's a draw back for the game, it sort of ruins the cut-scenes.

In my opinion, rent it before you buy it. If you can't rent it...borrow it from someone. If you can't do either, think loooong and hard about whether or not this is worth it.

it's not worth the style.

This game is a very bad horror game. Its controls are terrible and when you kill zombies, they come back up, no way to kill them. An interesting plot but confusing as hell in the begining. I wasted 40 bucks on this game, dont do the same, wait till it hits bargain baskets. THIS GAME IS SUPER DIFFICULT AND ANNOYING. My friend and I played one level for over 2 hours when it was a 20 minute level, we kept dying. No grenades or machine guns. Just a revolver, poker (yes a fireplace poker), a wrench, and a pilgrim gun. The zombies in this are amazing marksman with thier sniper rifles, which seems f*cking stupid to me. anyways, if u wanna waste ur time/money, buy this. if not, buy silent hill or resident evil 4 (amazing game!!!!)

for those with alot of patience

Sony gave it a good try but the game is too frustrating. The story begins with part of the Japanese landscape gone to Hell. The population has been turned into killer zombies called Shibito and you have to survive and find out what happened to the town. You can "Sightjack" so you can see through the eyes of the shibito, which is pretty scary, but you really don't care because as soon as your starting to get emotionally invested with your character you switch to another one. The accents do not fit the characters, and the color palettes used in the game a very drab looking. Be prpared to die and restart alot. Silent Hill 3, The Suffering, and Fatal Frame 2 are better choices.

Good concept done wrong

I picked up this game thinking it was going to be great. It looked like a Silent Hill rip off, which I have nothing against. I was wrong. I can basicly sum things up for you in point form.

- Worse controls then RE and Silent Hill put together
- Way to diffacult. Confusing while moving around.
- Zombies with guns...
- heavy Japanese setting may turn people off
- Storyline that makes no sense
- After you play the game for a while, you are forced to reply all the levels again. That's when I quit.

if you're looking for horror, be wary of this game

"Siren" is advertised as a horror game. It has some of the superficial features of horror, but the gameplay isn't creepy at all. It's a stealth game. There's plenty tension, but no horror. I was disappointed. Maybe "Siren" is a good stealth game, but if you're looking for a new horror game with a good story & especially with a creepy ambiance, I recommend against it.

nice looking game

This game was decent and pretty good I suppose. The graphics were horrible though! And all the characters had British accents...I didnt mind that but Japanese people with British accents got kinda annoying after sometime. The plot was freaky enough ^_^. I found it hard to get very far in this game the Shibito kept killing me. Overall this game is a good buy for Horror Survival game fanatics like myself. But you will need the guide or you will get lost!

You REALLY NEED a CodeBreaker to play this one!

And even WITH a Codebreaker, it's STILL DIFFICULT! But, you won't die every 5 minutes with the codebreaker enabled. The zombie sounds ARE C*R*E*E*P*Y. But, The Suffering, has the EXACT "undead" fx as Siren??! I think Siren is just the japanese version of The Suffering. But, The Suffering is MUCH faster gameplay. I've had Siren for 3 days, I played for 48 mins. on day I received it. By day 3, I'm STILL on "Day One" of trying to get the main characters to the highway out of zombieville. I'm stuck on what I believe, is the final "main" character>>"Gramps"(as i refer to him. he's 70 yrs. old). I can't find the stinking tool to smash open the gate for him to meet the others at the "highway"! And I'm using the Codebreaker with it!!! URGHHHHHHH! I;m GLAD, I DIDN'T pay the $49.99 original list price for this game!!!!!!

long and boring
