User Rating: 6.5 | Forbidden Siren PS2
By havik0666 | Review Date:
Siren is a horror game very strange at the first look, but it most similary to the first Resident Evil without zombies. The game take place in Japan (where, I don't know), you'll play many different characters in different place, this part is something that confuse me the most, All the characters are not all related all each others, and the storyline is very hard to understand at the first time.The thing that make this game unique is that you can see the view of your ennemy when you're pressing L2, and according to where the L.analog is,you can have more than one view of different ennemies, that will help you to move carefully without pikking a fight with those kind of ¤monster¤.

Here the checklist for a shorty review.

Storyline : 8.5/10
Really big and great, but still confusing.

Graphics : 7/10
Did they try to put real face on the characters???
Well, nevermind, it's more like the graphics in Resident Evil Code : Veronica X.

Gameplay : 6/10
I'm still not sure here, the fighting system is poor.....very poor......but the fack that you can see the view of you're ennemies is good.

Positive of the game : 7/10
-Great sinistric music
-Scary -Awesome story
-great horror environnement
-Will give you a big challenge
-Unique for a horror game
-Alternive ending make the game very nice and offer new opportunity and help you to understand the story much easier

Negative of the game : 4/10
-You can't kill those monster, they just faint and get up again after 5min (even with a bullet between their eyes!!!!)
-The story is understanded only by people with a IQ of 170
-The mission are a quite long,very long
-the fighting system s#ck a lot!
-All this **** I can't see!!!!
-Patience is something to finish this game.


So, if you have the patience and the true love for horror game, go ahead and try it, but if you're impatient, just don't touch this game.

    These days it seems like the Japanese have become the torch-bearers for quality horror movies. Frankly, the American formula was getting a bit old, a bit unimaginative, and a bit too action-oriented. Often times, I canno... Read Full Review
