Siren - PS2 Game (Retro Fam)

If you liked Silent Hill 2, this game is definitely up your alley. Nearly everything in the game, from the grainy B-horror movie textures to the heartbeat in the controller, make this a Silent Hill clone. So...If you are a fan of the genre, and are not more than happy to plug a box of shells into a zombie before it falls to the ground (only to knaw on your leg once it's there), then the combat system is a welcome change. Granted, a camera is not the weapon for those of us with missile launchers in our hearts, but it adds to the atmosphere of the game. Rather than watching your character from a third-person perspective dripping blood and limping all over the place, you get to meet your attacker face to face. And as they fade in and out of focus, it certainly increases the jump factor when one suddenly flies toward the screen.That's another thing. Silent Hill, probably the most psychologically disturbing game out there, still had typical creatures to face. Wrap a different character model around Resident Evil's zombies (more intense of course), and that's it. When you see a monster in a room, you know what to do. Draw your weapon and stay out of its way. But in Fatal Frame, ghosts (more often than not) simply appear right in front, or behind, you. And then they phase out of focus and appear somewhere else.The major flaws in the game are not overly destructive. The voice acting is horrid, but fans of RE shouldn't be too disappointed. Also, the characters move very s.
