If you fail a mission, for example, you will have to repeat an entire level. Your character is completely vulnerable in comparison to other survival horror characters out there. After several trial and error attempts, I felt that I didn't have much fun and stopped playing the game. I always regret it because I like the non-linear storyline offered by the original game and wanted a chance to figure out the story. Fast forward 2008, Sony suddenly announces that Team Siren will release Siren: New Translation (Siren: Blood Curse in US and Europe) via PSN and Blu-ray. The game is basically a remake of the original with different casts and tweaked controls. Well, after obtaining the game last wee, I finally completed it!! Impressions after the cut.
