Video Game Reviews of Siren

Customer Review: Not scary, not spectacular, just original
Summary: 2 Stars

Basics:

The graphics are horrible.
Controls are poorly designed.
Voice acting sucks!

Additional:

There is not much of a scare factor here, only frustration at numerous loading screens.
The monsters, they never die! Oh dear God, please save us!

Seriously, though:

This game is no fun. You will waste a good portion of your time discovering this fact of reality.

Customer Review: Probably The WORST Survival Horror Game EVER.
Summary: 1 Stars

I purchased the game Siren because i heard a friend tell me that it was a creepy game so i decided to add it to my collection, not knowing how HORRIBLE the game was.Reason 1,the grapics and story line sucked.
Reason 2 the beginning of the game failed to interest me and keep me playing.
and probably the main thing that brought the game to a dead end is the SIGHT JACKING which was jus a REALLY dumb idea for the game. and i couldnt see where the HECK i was goin. ALL IN ALL DONT waste money or time on this game.

Customer Review: REALISTIC horror/survival game
Summary: 5 Stars

I personally loved this game, but there are many who are going to hate it. What made it so appealing to me (and unappealing to others) is how realistic the gameplay is. They set the game up to be a realistic survival game; you die in one shot, you have no idea what's going on, and all your actions effect other characters later in the game. There is nothing in this game that isn't going to be explained by the plot (no magic health drinks, no laser beam guns). Also, for the most part your characters have no weapons, and their only tool is the ability to see through the eyes of their foes (sightjacking). I thought it made the game amazing, it took time, concentration, and planning verses constant button mashing. There is also a certain fear the game instills in you when you have no way to defend yourself. One thing you can use to your advantage; your health regenerates (though, your foes will have this ability as well) as a cause of the red waters surrounding the village (the same waters that are turning the villagers into the undead, and giving you psychic abilities). So, if you do get shot and manage to survive, you can run to a safe place and hide out for a couple seconds 'til you're good to go again. Your foes aren't superman either (aside from being undead), they die just as easily as you, so it's nice when you finally do get a weapon (keep in mind, they do come back to life after a few minutes). The scenery doesn't change much (you are trapped in the village after all), but it is meant to be an advantage to you. You can get use to your surroundings, making it easier to make your way through the game as you progress (you're going to have enough trouble staying alive, don't need to add being constantly lost to the mix). The individual missions themselves are meant to be relatively short(1-15 min.), making up for the constant dying.

There are people who say this game is only for 'hard core' survival game fans, and I don't find that to be true at all. It is challenging, and you just need to have a little pateince. It's actually a very fun game. If you can make your way past the first couple missions I promise you'll get addicted. Well, unless you like games that require no thought process. Other than those people... you'll like it.

Customer Review: There is a difference between survival horror games
Summary: 5 Stars

At first i thought that every horror game was the same, i thought after playing the resident evil saga that they'll go in the same direction, well, that changed when i played haunting grounds, well, that game made me see that i could be scared a lot with a game and that not every survival horror has to be the same. I then got this game, well, it's scary, not as much as haunting grounds, but the gameplay, game style is very different from anything that i have played before and this game is really good and scary enough to make you wait 'till the night to play it.

The good thing is that you can play events in time, you play a piece of the game from the day before, then in the present, and then in the future, it's a pulp fiction like horror movie.

It's a very good game, even if don't like the horror genre, the game stills makes you play it.

I give this game five stars 'cause the game has great graphics, great sound and the game simply surprised me. When i paid nine bucks with free shipping, i thought, well, let's check it out, well, the game is a bargain, cheaper as any old game but good as any new game.

I recommend this game 'cause i know it'll surprise you also.
