Eurogamer reviews full version of SIREN: Blood Curse ... Gives it 8/10

Gothic Girl | July 25, 2008 | Reviews | Playstation 3

Just over a week ago Eurogamer reviewed the first few chapters of the PS3's exclusive survival-horror Siren: Blood Curse and gave them a 9/10.
Now they have gotten their hands on the full game and were still impressed. A few minor niggles with the combat lowered the overall score to an 8/10 but they consider it an "excellent" game and a must-have title for any survival horror fan.

Discuss in the Siren: Blood Curse forum

With these value considerations in mind, you might think that pinning a score to this excellent slice of survival-horror would be extremely tough. Do you praise the value and boost the mark accordingly, or stick resolutely to the merits of the game? As it turns out, it's not a difficult call to make, because Siren: Blood Curse would be highly recommended even if it was a full price offering. A few niggles remain in the control and combat department, but those of us schooled in slightly wonky survival-horror mechanics won't be put off. Not quite unparalleled excellence, then, but more than enough chills to keep horror adventure fans gibbering.

8/10

I have the full version, and it is a very fantastic game. The fact that such a marvelous game is only available through download in the PSN is a huge shame, and a big mistake. This would do so much better if it were disk-based as well.
