Unless you have problems with seizures, it shouldn't make you dizzy. The sightjacking in the PS2 version was much easier on the eyes. You could only view through the eyes of one shibito at a time.
As for the story
That's the basic premise, but the plot gets MUCH more interesting as time goes on, and
which is when things get really creepy in that game. Also, when you're sightjacking them, they make the creepiest sounds/noises I've ever heard. Obviously I can't replicate them, you have to hear them to believe it.
And, to answer the question, yes and no. Yes, you are screwed, but, the game works on a stage select function. You don't actually just go through the game on a straight path. There are many ways to go through the game, but
sadly the ending is always the same.
How it works, is that you have to unlock certain requirements to unlock stages, which are basically certain points in time that are in a certain character's perspective. This has got to be one of the worst parts of this game. If they had just kept everything else the same, and only improved upon this aspect (like making it so you don't have to find EVERYTHING to actually beat the game) this would have probably been the best survival horror game to date. But, that system is what makes the Fatal Frame series a better candidate. I still love Siren dearly though

Yeah, the scare factor has gone down, and they seem to have done away with zombies entirely, all you do is fight monsters and use a lot of guns. That's why I'm hoping with 6 they can combine some of the newer elements (action and gameplay) with the older elements (scare factor and story) I liked the stories for 4 and 5 but they felt kinda like different games at times. I do want to see Leon in another RE game, and Ada too.
I wanna see Claire again
But I do own all three with the hope to get to them all someday. I will never forget the scene where you're running from the principal shibito and he just seems to always pop up where you are out of nowhere. I will also never forget many more scary moments in that game. You NEVER feel safe in that game, except when you have a gun, but you BARELY get those weapons. Heck, you barely get weapons period. The PS3 remake still retains a lot of the scare factor, but gave the player too much power to fight back. Which reduced a lot of the scare factor. I don't know why people complained so much about the first one's weapon system. I found it perfect. Combat was a last resort, and your main priority was just escape and nothing else.
