The oh-so-clever gameplay just sucks. You wanna fight the evil you're up against, not run away from it. That was the case with the original Siren.

At least in the new Siren: Blood Curse you get the chance to more or less fight them off. But i still don't appreciate the concept.

Clive Barker's: Undying, on the other hand, is a sinfully scary experience. Very good game.

I totally get what you both are driving at, but I thought it was different. At a time when RE and Silent Hill were fanboy's wet dreams come true, the makers of Siren wanted to make something different, and not just another RE/Silent Hill clone.

Ergo, the slightly complicated gameplay. It was unique and offered something different, IMO. Not everything has to be confront-get best weapon out-shoot 'em up kinda stuff. I loved it.
