Woohaa it is the first review of this game?






That sounds cool:

 

However, perhaps the most important ability that the characters will have available to them is the ability to perform what's known as sight jacking, where you literally view the world from the viewpoint of either another human being or one of the monstrous villagers known as Shibito. By holding down L2, players go into a trance where they hone in on anyone in the immediate vicinity. By tapping L1 or R1, you can change from one to another, allowing you to see what they see and where they are. Even better, you can lock these perspectives in, assigning each one to a face button so you can quickly switch back and forth between them. This is particularly useful when you're in the middle of trying to sneak around specific areas and are trying to avoid being picked apart by the Shibito.






ya right. I am reading thru the reviews now, they ahve separate reviews for the separate episodic packs, its a long read.

Took them so long to come up the review, must be really scary :)

Glad to see Siren got a good review score from IGN.



It (PS3's market share) might hit 30%, but definently not more. ~ Neo

Other reviewers gave it higher scores.

IGN typically does out 9s to hyped games from big reviewers. Its rare that they'd actually give a game like Siren anything more than an 8.5

thats a great score



tag:"reviews only matter for the real hardcore gamer"

well, i would've made up for not getting Alone in the Dark... except that turned out to be crap.

Good for survival horror genre fans.

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

3/5 from X-Play. I didn't really like the demo, so I guess it's up to the person.
