It's a survival horror game (two in the series).
In it you can use something called 'sightjack' to see through enemies eyes, as well as allies too I think (played them, but haven't finished them).
It requires more thinking than the Resident Evil series to get around the enemies (that's why you use the sightjack. To learn the enemies movements and avoid them).
I haven't finished either 1 or 2, so I'm not that much of an expert on it. lol Ask Callan for more info.

I think its one of the most original horror games ever made, period. The sightjacking adds a whole new dimension to the gameplay and visually it was lifelike, and im only talking about the PS2 verion, Siren in HD will be jaw dropping. I actually want this more than Silent Hill V. and im guessing im in the small minority.

The game is already up for preorder at Play Asia. They have the Japanese version and Asian version. I wonder if the Asian version has English subs.

EDIT: Article up on IGN

au.ps3.ign.com/

So pretty likely it will be English friendly. I want to order it!!!

lol I won't be downloading it unless it's available on the Aus PSN.
Even then I probably wouldn't have the patience to download. (I need faster internet )
When the full game is available I should probably get around to playing my PS2 copy. lol
I've started (a while ago) but never really finished....
I agree with Mobe though. The voice acting is sooooo bad. Almost painful...

I would have to say that the two most original horror series I've seen are Forbidden Siren and Project Zero.

You should download the Japanese store Cherrona, they have some truly bizarre/interesting content there and that way you could download the Siren demo as well. I also agree with you and Mobes on the voice acting in the first Forbidden Siren, seeing clearly Japanese characters talking with english accents was very cringe worthy, just completely ruined the feel of the game, lets hope thats addressed this time around

Hmm, there are guides that say how to do that, right? *thinks about it...*

Anyway, as for the voice acting, it's kind of funny.
Most if not all games I've played use American voice actors (although they don't have really strong accents like the English ones in FS), but then when a game uses people with a different accent it's weird.
Am I the only one that's noticed that?

Great find. Unfortunately I can't add them to the game (when I add it to the game section) because of the watermarks.

I kind of prefer original VAs. MGS is a kind of odd one though, as both the Japanese and English language are properly done (I mean David Hayter is great).

Silent Hill series is fully Japanese, but I believe the original was English language. All the actors on SH2 for the motion capture were American (from the doco that came with the game).

Cheap dubs on the other hand are a different story. Siren 1 fell into that category.
