Experience real fear with Forbidden Siren 2

Released by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Forbidden Siren 2 is set on the island of Yamijima, the Island of Darkness. The story starts as a group of characters are washed up on the island's shore after their boat is caught in a violent storm. Unbeknown to them some twenty nine years earlier, all the inhabitants of the island mysteriously disappeared in a black-out.

Up until now the events of that ill-fated night remain unsolved. But as the haunting sound of a warning siren rings out over the island the castaways are faced with the awakening of the Shibito, living dead, and the Yamibito, people of the dark, ? are they all that's left of the original inhabitants? Now it is a fight for survival and to unearth the secrets of the island.

To survive on the island players need to use light to their advantage. Both the Yamibito and Shibito are sensitive to light ? but in opposing ways. To wipe out the Yamibito players need to turn lights on but, to take out the Shibito players need to eliminate light by turning off lights or smashing street lamps. Other ways players can escape the Shibito are by hiding in the darkness and throwing objects to distract them. Players can also use a variety of weapons to dispose of their enemies as well as running them down by using abandoned vehicles.

Additional features include a map that show the player's position on the island, a range of difficulty levels, enhanced tutorials, hint displays and an alert system to warn that an enemy is approaching.
