Summary

Siren: Blood Curse is a compelling, if slightly flawed experience that serves as an excellent introduction to the PS3's growing library of survival horror adventure titles.

We like

  • The excellent audiovisual presentation
  • The compelling storyline
  • The intriguing Sight Jacking system

We dislike

  • The clunky controls
  • That some episodes are extremely short lived
