BETTER THAN SILENT HILL

This was one of the best game I've ever played after I was convinced into buying it from a couple of friends of mine. After having played for only about 20 minutes into the game I was totally scared out of my skin. Every time I faced off a ghost or two I'm always on the edge watching for when they might attack and I would go screaming at the top of my lungs when a ghost grabbed me. Not only did this game scared me out of my skins, but Tecmo did a very excellent job of the overall sound effect, lighting, graphic, and the storyline. I loved all the seperate endings and I especially enjoy the song at the end. If you really want a good game, GO GRAB FATAL FRAME 2, YOU WON'T BE DISSAPOINTED.

Gives you the cchillls!

Title says it all. This game has the right mix of darkness and cinematic surprise. I found myself preparing mentally prior to opening the next door.

Okay, but not the best.

I'm going to go ahead and say it; The original Fatal Frame kicked serious booty. It was actually the only horror game that scared the crap out of me. This sequel, then, is a poor follow-up.
Storywise, the game is good. You've entered a haunted town to find your twin sister. mechanics are identical, you walk around a prerendered area and have a camera that you use against ghost (hey! The myths are apparently true!).
Where this game falls flat is presentation and game play. Presentation-wise, the game gives you nothing new. You are STILL walking around and taking pictures of stuff and ghosts. You are still finding the key to get to the next area. Ho-hum. what next.
Game-play is worse. With a few small exceptions, all the baddies come at you randomly. While this is good in some games, here it just feels as if they stopped caring about the game when it came to trying to make it fun.
My suggestion to you is to rent it at a local game store first. If you like it, get it from amazon. If you don't, then you'll be glad you rented it first.

Outstanding

If strongly recommend turning down the brighness from the start. It defaults to a very high setting. I turned mine down to 13-clicks above black, which makes it look very authentic on my television and makes the ghosts appear out the the dark. The presentation is done very well. The FPS mode (on XBOX) pulls you into the experience. The game might make you jump. I recommend turning up the sound system and turning out the lights.

Great game in every aspect

I recently purchased this game and since I started playing it, it is hard to stop playing. It delivers excellent scares to me and the people that are even just sitting in the room with me. Excellent interface and controls make this an easy game to control. Very fun game for a group of people to play, or playing alone. The game has great depth and really makes it feel real. Turn out the lights, turn up the sound and have a GREAT time.

WOW!!!!!

My fiancee is playing this game right behind me and I can't stop jumping. Turn the surround sound up and hear the dead people whispering"I'm dead". You will almost pee your pants when these people jump out at you!! Heart racing game. This is the most eerie game I have ever played. It seems to be even scarier than most scary movies. The graphics are VERY good on this game too.
