"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

What's everyone's opinion on Siren? Despite the completely godawful voice acting that game always freaked me out enough that I never got very far in it. Well, that, and the fact that it seemed like some levels needed to be played absolutely perfectly to have half a chance to survive. The enemies were all pseudo-zombies that couldn't be killed but retained some basic level of intellect so they'd be doing chores or keeping watch or whatever, and the gimmick was that you could "sightjack" them to see and hear from their perspective.

This always seemed to lead to one of two things happening: either you sightjacked a zombie right at the second he saw you, which on a lot of levels was enough in and of itself to get your rear end killed, or you sightjacked a companion NPC and freaked out because holy poo poo they're right behind me!!

It also had some wonky system where to progress you had to replay levels and get different (often bizarre) objectives accomplished, but I never got far enough in the game to really have to mess with that.
