Well two days ago i logged on to PSN and was board from the 2.41 FW update i thought that all games would now have in-game music support but nope what i found out was that Microsoft Corp has a patent for the In-Game Music feature that’s why sony can’t force all games BMG’s to shut off and play the users own soundtrack.. anyways i downloaded SIREN: Blood Curse Demo, never having heard or played the other game(s) till now i was kinda of shocked to hear that a demo about a horror game was being released with out me knowing about the upcoming game. So i booted up the demo and had to tweak my screen for a long time to even be able to see the map, still barely (Maybe its b/c its a samsung… IDK) but after a while i kinda got a OK pic of the game’s map and etc.. the graphics aren’t much to brag about considering the games menus aren’t that well designed either i think this might be a straight DLG off PSN, b/c this games graphics are nowhere near as good as Uncharted for a 3rd person game or a horror game compared to Alone in the Dark, anywho the game starts out with you passed out on the ground and you wake up not knowing whats going on, with little help from the game explaining the controls like other games so you have to press [Select] and go to options and find out what the controls are and all you have to do is walk up the stairs and see two zombie like people fight and woman is killing this one guy (their both zombies) and the guy is yelling Noo….Noo.. after she leaves the guy gets up and you have to sneak by him from the right side of the car up ahead and he yells out “Whats this. I feel great” and the game tells you that don’t try to kill him b/c you’ll die without a gun or a weapon, so you walk a little bit further and get a pipe and go back and kill him just for fun and the you gotta go back where you found the pipe and kill the woman who killed the guy, but if you wanna see a cool fatality hold [L1] and slowly walk up to her and hold down (Square) after that go and bash the door so the lock brakes and the press (X) to open the door to a cutscene and then all you do is kill the woman that comes through the door and then go to the bridge and see that its crowded and the go backwords and kill the guy with a fatality and get his gun, and pull the railroad lever and wait for the zombies to com to you and kill them. and then go back to the crowded tunnel and kill the rest of the zombies and you have to go through a smaller tunnel and kill few zombies and a cutscene will play about how he lost the his daughter and his girlfriend? tells him his useless and shows a flashback of him telling his kid to run b/c some zombies are coming, he get knocked out and they chase her and then shows her in a room saying “There’s no such thing as Bogeyman” and then the demo end and tell syou that you got your daughters diary in the archive.
Now for the impression :
The game looks ok for a ps2 game that what it looks like to me (Compared to Alone in the Dark, Alan wake, Silent Hill: HC, RE5) the screen displays way too much of Tv Snow (Ash version) the graphics are not too much to look at, the story seems boring, the voice acting is ok for a group of Nobodys.
Well go ahead and give this game a shot of you want a new horror game, but i would rather wait for SH:HC rather than pay $65 for this on a BD.
I would give this game a 3/10 if this is how the final product’s gonna look like…
