Review of Siren

Siren (2003 Video Game)
10/10
One of the tensest gaming expieriences i've ever played
25 October 2006
Warning: Spoilers
Directed by the genius that brought the world Silent Hill, This horror masterpiece is one of the tensest, most terrorfying expieriences in gaming, litriture or movies. However, anyone expecting more of the same will be very shocked to find that the game's story isn't its most compelling part; that is the storytelling. The player plays as a verity of charactars over a three day time frame, all of which can die from one or two hits from the undead foes. Most of the time, you must escort weeker charactars (not so bad). This has forced stealth, which is helped by an ingenious system whereby the player can see through the eyes of his enemies, the Shibito. The only bad point is the lack of any light in this dark game- literally and metaphoricaly; the plot is very dark, as is the screen. Special mention to the music and the graphics, whereby actors faces are filmed and projected on 3-d models to add emotion (strange but it works!).
