    The graphics are good. I only have a complaint about how dark everything is no matter she brightness setting the camera control is just ridicules. I try my best to enjoy it...

    All graphics system changed, but still good to write down plate was impressed with the finish. I personally had more fun predecessor, but the fear of this game is really the best you can say.

    + The game is scary and tense with great atmosphere and sound.
    - The game play is very poor and at times frustrating.
    - The frame rate is horrible.
    - Story switches between characters, it leaves without a clear sense of what is happening.
    - The game recycles the same locations often, though they look amazing.

    An amazing tone of a mass but I enjoyed it.
    The game is a good blend of stealth and puzzles my best moment of the game where paly as little girl trying to survive in little house those what the most intense puzzle parts.
    The best and most fun mechanic other one se out of the enemy's eyes it feels fun and there are some good puzzles about it, but I wish there were more level where that    An amazing tone of a mass but I enjoyed it.

    The game feels like an American remake of A Japanese horror movie which is fun. It is very fun the acting and voice acting in this game and the ending is bonkers so I enjoyed it very much.    … Expand

    THIS IS A MASSIVE STEP BACKWARDS FROM FORBIDDEN SIREN 2. Don't get me wrong I think the game is ok but there is more negative than good. so what did I like the final boss was really really cool and the music and sounds in the game are incredible at being spooky and they fit perfectly. I also like the maggot shibito they are interesting. BUT THE GAME IS NOT SCARY THAT IS IT MASSIVE DOWNFALLTHIS IS A MASSIVE STEP BACKWARDS FROM FORBIDDEN SIREN 2.

I also like the maggot shibito they are interesting. BUT THE GAME IS NOT SCARY THAT IS IT MASSIVE DOWNFALL maybe it is just me who has played all three siren games but I was expecting more FROM A REBOOT OF THE FIRST SIREN GAME that scared the crap of of me. the uncanny facial feature has gone from the other two siren games what was a disappointment because that was really scary. also THE SIGHT JACKING MODE IS HORRIBLE it is a real shame that they made it so badly. the cast in the other siren games are cool because they have different ability's and things also they have been interesting In blood curse they are annoying and I did not care for any of them also the combat is horrible it is really clunky I know it is not a combat heavy game I just wanted to put that out there. back to what the game dose right the atmosphere is amazing it really keeps you engaged in the game. I also love the sounds the shibito make when you site jack them it is very disturbing.
    All in All Siren Blood Curse is a massive step backwards from Siren and forbidden siren 2 but it is an ok game with a plot that is mediocre thanks for reading my revrew    … Expand

    Siren is nothing new but is a short, spooky distraction.

    Not quite unparalleled excellence, then, but more than enough chills to keep horror adventure fans gibbering.

    It's genuinely unsettling. [Aug 2008, p.94]
