FORBIDDEN SIREN...
What is the game about?
The story involves jumping between people and events at different points in the timeline following over 10 survivors that haven't been turned to shibito (zombies) and follows their attempts to survive. The survivors have found that they have the ability to 'sight jack' any other character and are able to see through their eyes. This is the major gameplay hook of the series. Most of these characters start their story with weapons, but there are some who go about the game unarmed, bringing suspense to the gamer if seen by an enemy, as there is nothing they can do to save themself. As well as the survivors having weapons, the shibito are capable of wielding weapons, even guns and rifles, and will attack you on sight. If left alone most will go about performing their usual daily routines.
Who is the video game aimed at?
Forbidden Siren is based for people 16 years and over, because of the frequent blood scenes and the repetative jump scenes. The amount of horror in this game is not appropriate for the younger ages or the light hearted.
What issues might surround the game?
The psychological disturbence is a really big issue in this game, you are put under a lot of stress during the gameplay, and in certain scenes you get a sense of claustrophobia making you feel even more stressed, making your heart pump faster due to panic.
The violence level in which the shibito and different characters are in is quite high, due to the way they are brutal murdered. The blood scenes are graphic but not as well done as they would be on an up to date console (PS3), making the PS2 version not so bad.
