Title: Is Siren worth it? Post by: voodoolily on April 27, 2005, 04:22:45 PM It looks like Silent HIll meets Ringu. Has anyone played it? Should I plunk down the fifty?
Here's (http://www.us.playstation.com/Content/OGS/SCUS-97355/Site/) the linky-poo Title: Re: Is Siren worth it? Post by: NiX on April 27, 2005, 04:38:42 PM It was 9.98 last week at EB =\
When I played it.. I was VERY confused. The character swapping and need to use tactics more than anything else can throw you off. It's not your traditional RE style survivor game. I didn't play it for more than 30 mins, so I can't give you more than that. Title: Re: Is Siren worth it?

Title: Re: Is Siren worth it? Post by: NiX on April 27, 2005, 05:23:02 PM I just suck, that's all. One of the unique features is that you can see through the eyes of the enemies by using one of the analog sticks (while holding another button, I think.) It's done in a radio frequency kind of way. If the monster is far, the vision you see is fuzzy and what not. This helps you determine how to get past patrolling zombies and what not. The only other thing I remember is that you can't kill the zombies. If you shoot them they fall down and stay down for a good 3-5 minutes, but get up soon after that to continue trying to kill your ass.
Title: Re: Is Siren worth it? Post by: schild on April 27, 2005, 05:44:51 PM It's really fucking hard. Less confusing than Baten Kaitos - but at the very least - it's amazingly beautiful. Siren is, stylistically, one of the best looking games I've ever played.
I see you read my Obscure review. Thanks. Title: Re: Is Siren worth it? Post by: Fabricated on April 28, 2005, 11:22:58 AM Siren is neat, but really, really hard. It's incredibly unforgiving, and the english dub sucks.
It is however, very cool. The Japanese commercial for it actually got pulled for being too disturbing. |
