"Reminds me of J-HORROR, in a GOOD way !!",
In the beginning of the game, you play a teenager who is looking for his favorite author in an isolated, and creepy mansion. Then, he goes missing. Then, his big sister comes to find him and uncovers a few things she didn't expect.

Imagine crossing a game with the eeriness of RINGU, the disturbingness of THE RING,the scares of THE GRUDGE, and an old camera that takes pictures of spirts. This is exactly what you get.

The scariness of this game just doesn't end. If you are playing it alone, your probably going to turn it off after the first 45 minutes of game play. It can sometimes get down right unnerving, especially in the numberous cut scenes.

The game is also somewhat difficult, for you can get lost very easily, and you may not be taking your "pictures" fast enough.

If you play this game, do the following......................

1) Turn off every single light in the house (Makes for a good atmosphere)

2)Turn volume up really high, or use a surround-sound system if you have one.(Or use headphones)

3)If possible, turn the ringer on your phone to the highest volume.

4)Make sure you have something funny to watch afterwards......

"I have a camera and I know how to use it!", Sept. 1987, a group of people enter Himuro mansion to research for a new novel. Apparently, strange rituals were performed there believed to be that of the Shinto. Mafuyu, a good friend of Jensei Takamine, the leader of the group, goes searching for them after they have been gone for days. After he fails to return within two weeks, his sister Miku goes out searching for him.

When you see the based on the true story on the cover, you're probably thinking 'yeah, right, its probably like 'Amityville Horror.' Wrong, the storyline on the game is based on a mansion that had been discovered where the owner went mad and massacred everyone there. The main plot of this game and it's characters have nothing to do with the original mansion other than some of the designs in the house and the room structures.

Starting off, this is one of the best Survival Horror games ever, but I do have to admit it sounds a little cheesy at first with your weapon being a camera. But after a while it seems to make more sense than those weapons used by the 'Ghostbusters' or using a handgun or rifle. The camera controls are a little clunky, but are easy to adjust to. You can upgrade your camera to defeat enemies easier. What makes this game scarier than RE is the fact that you're fighting ghosts and your character has a sixth sense, so she is able to see what happened and these things can be very...well gruesome and cruel. Most of the flashbacks you see are either of the past rituals or how a person died.

This game was already released on PS2, but there are more goodies here for you to enjoy. For starters, the graphics are a little bit better and the framerate is good. Secondly, there are some added features like an extra ending and a bonus costume. And, finally, you don't have to save on a separate block for your album because the HD can hold it all.

Personally, I believe this could have really happened because back then people would do stuff like that to their families if they thought they're against them or something. Stories like 'Amityville Horror' have other things against them that could easily disprove that theory. Believe it or not, its still fun to play the game. The only problem with this game is that the mansion changes a lot throughout the nights you are there so you will backtrack a lot into these areas, but they will be different because doors and things will fix as it reverts to its original form.

This game is a must-have if you play survivor horror games

Pros
- Better graphics than PS2
- Added ending
- More ghosts to capture than PS2
- Bonus ending that didn't appear in PS2 version
- Creepy atmosphere
- The eerie flashback scenes

Cons
- A lot of backtracking
- Easy to get lost

"Say Cheese........AHHHHHHHHHH !!", [Edited] June 12 2005 ~
I have read so many reviews where people are confused by the fact that the main character uses a camera so I thought that I would explain. In some Asian cultures some people believed that when you take a picture it captures a part of your soul.

I played this game when it was first released so I'm going to give a general review of the game and how it has held up after the few years that have past.

I didn't know what to expect when I got this game and boy was I scared and impressed by it. This game is very well made, the story is truly twisted like nothing I have ever seen. The gameplay is great and never gets boring and the suspense and horror is very intense.

IMO, nothing since has topped this game in terms of being the most atmospheric and disturbing.

I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys movies like "The Ring" and "The Grudge". Imagine being in those movies, the creepiness/scary factor is even stronger!

ENJOY =)

"Don't Play Alone!", This is the most terrifying game I've ever played. Some games in the Survival Horror Genre give you a chainsaw. Some give you a Plasma Gun. This one gives you a camera. Yep, a camera. You start in a Prolouge as the main characters brother, and hey! Geuss what! The house eats you. Then the main character comes searching for her brother who was searching for his Mentor who came with his assistant and his editor. So there are 4 people who got eaten by the house and are coming back in Ghosty Form to eat the main character.
The villan is a little girl that looks like a chipmunk in a kimono. Personally, I can't get past the ghost that the main character thinks is her brother and then turns out to be some creature whith long hair and nails. But whatever, it's still my favorite game and I can't play it alone or in the dark, but Buy it anyways.

"Truly Twisted", I initially played 'Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly' before I tried out the original game. I was a little disappointed at first, because the gameplay seemed to go slower than in 'Crimson Butterfly'. Soon, however, I realized that the plot might even be creepier than its sequel. You're in a much smaller area in the first game than in the second which means that you have to retrace your steps a lot, but I don't fully understand the people who say that this aspect makes the first game "more boring" than the sequel. Worrying about when another screaming, headless ghost was going to materialize and wrap its hands around my throat managed to keep ME occupied, but hey, that's just me...

Another part about the first game that I thought was more authentic than in 'Crimson Butterfly' was the fact that you collect audio tapes that were recorded by the more "recent" victims of Himuro mansion to piece together the intricate mystery of why the old house is haunted. From these warped tapes, you also get a glimpse into the minds of these poor, doomed fools and can document, much to your chagrin, their individual descents into insanity. It just seems more realistic than the recordings you're given to work with in 'Crimson Butterfly'. You see, in the sequel, there's a similar manner in which you gain these aural clues in order to figure out your predicament, but instead of audio cassettes, you're given precious stones that are left behind from the various ghosts you fight. Since you're also conveniently carrying along a little altered radio from the 20's that is designed to pick up on "otherwordly sounds", you place the stones that the ghosts leave you into the radio and, the thoughts they were thinking before their untimely deaths having been transmitted into the stone, the ghost's last thoughts are heard in all their staticy, hard-to-understand glory! Wow! Perhaps I'm being too picky, but that method just seems a wee bit cornier than the eerie, real life appraoch of dead journalists unfortunate enough to be studying Himuro mansion recording their final thoughts onto tape.

Thoroughly unsettling and quite tragic and moving by its end, Fatal Frame is a fantastic game that I'd advise anyone to play, as long as they appreciate good writing and a good mystery.

From the terrified audio cassettes, to the paranoid, demented pages from old diaries, to the vengeful spirits moaning for help, these little bits of terror stacked up in this incredibly effective manner made it so that I couldn't possibly play Fatal Frame alone. Every time my boyfriend would leave the room, I'd pause the game and get up to follow him around until he'd get fed up with me and agree to go back into the room where the game was. So, to say the least, it helps to have someone supportive around while you're playing it. Just try to not play it around your meaner friends, who will take advantage of your vulnerability by grabbing you from behind and screaming "RRRARRH!!" every time you fight a ghost.

...not that that ever happened to me.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Definitely Different", "Fatal Frame" was an enjoyable game with mostly solid gameplay mechanics. It's touted as a member of the (insipidly-named) category 'survival horror', but many aspects put me more in mind of an 'adventure' game.
First the controls:
"Fatal Frame" does not use a Resident Evil-style control scheme, instead opting for a camera's POV-based system ala "Metal Gear Solid". I, myself, never had a problem with the old style controls (where up is forward, down is backward, and left/right pivot the character on-screen), but some games (like the aforementioned "Metal Gear") call for freer, faster-paced controls. This was not one of them. Due to the confined spaces in most areas and the fact that this is a horror game, and thus all about atmospheric (and constantly changing) camera placement, the method of moving one's character from place to place was more of a frustration and a distraction from the story than it needed to be. Even more trouble is added to the mix by the fact that the character constantly hangs up on invisible corners while running. When it comes to using the camera (this time referring to the weapon), controls are much smoother. It is easy to access and leave the viewfinder screen, and tracking thankfully can be done in two different speeds. Battling your enemies with only an old camera seemed at first like the gimmicks of most games- the only real novelty, and one that would wear thin after awhile. Fortunately, this was not the case. It never seemed too contrived, and the camera was comfortable to use.
Next the graphics:
I've only played the Xbox version, but I thought the graphics were solid. They're not the best available, nor were they when this game was released, but they're more than up to the requirements of "Fatal Frame". The environment wasn't terribly interactive, even by the standards of so-called 'survival horror' games, especially in the area of lighting. Shadows don't really fall on the character, and lights never move or flicker. Even though the character's flashlight can be manipulated throughout the game, the light it gives off doesn't behave in a realistic (or particularly useful) manner. "Silent Hill 2" was released in its PS2 form around the same time as this game and it displayed impressively realistic lighting effects and behavior.
Finally, the story and atmosphere:
Being a non-believer in all things supernatural, I take the words "based on a true story" with a truckload of salt. After all, the movies "Fire in the Sky", "It Could Happen to You" and "Braveheart" were all 'based on true stories', but the actual facts in each of them boil down to less than 10% of the script. This shouldn't make the game any less frightening. The "Silent Hill" games have been, on the whole, the best games I've ever encountered in 16 years of playing. Period. That verdict includes the admission that each of them (but especially 1 and 2) scared me half to death and kept me on that edge continuously throughout every moment I played, from beginning to end. All this, and there's not a sliver of fact or even testimony behind those stories. But "Fatal Frame" was not scary in the least for very different reasons. After the first ghost encounter in the prologue, you've seen everything the game has to throw at you. There are no dangers other than ghosts, all ghosts will be conquered the same way, and all of them are bright, visible, and predictable in their methods of attack. Combat felt more like a one-on-one fighter than a horror game. I never felt surprised or nervous at any point during gameplay because of this. Second, as mentioned above, the lighting does nothing to build mood. Everything is wide open and completely visible, so you always know when there's something awaiting you. Lastly, the premise itself just isn't particularly scary. This is where the story fits in. By the time you are halfway throught the 'First Night' (each night is, very roughly, 1/4 of the game) you know everything. Of course, more details will be filled in, but the backbone of the story and most of the reasons for the haunting are revealed very early. Without any sense of mystery, there is no incentive to immerse oneself in the world of the game.
In sum, "Fatal Frame" is fun as an adventure game with good presentation, but with surprisingly weak story elements. It's definitely enjoyable while it lasts, and the gimmick of camera-as-weapon never wears itself out. However, as a horror title it is largely ineffective. "Fatal Frame" is never corny or farcical- it's simply too light on suspense.

"An awesome ride", I've always enjoyed games that make your heart beat a little bit faster, or your palms bead up from being scared.. and this game accomplishes that in so many ways. From the first ghost I encountered, up until the end of the game, I was clutching the controller, watching as spirit after spirit came my way. Zapping them with my camera. If you want a game that's not only addictive, but can send a chill down anyone's spine.. this is your game. Highly recommended!!

"They weren't kidding, this game IS scary", Some games scare you by surprise (Resident Evil), others by what you can't see (Silent Hill), some games play with your mind (Eternal Darkness) and some games scare you by the fact that its based on a true story...
I know a lot of people don't believe in ghosts, but I have had the misfortune of living in a haunted house twice in my life. My experiences were not pleasant by any means, and so for the first time in my life there's a game that not only scares me, but makes me entirely uncomfortable to the point where I cannot play this game alone. It's not as gory as other games in the genre, but it plays of off my fear of ghosts as being a very real phenomenon very well. It's creepy, its spooky, and many of the ghosts in this game do not go down easily, thus presenting a greater challenge than other Survival Horror games, as its not a simple matter of shooting the ghost before it gets to you, or bashing the fiend to death with a lead pipe... these things are as fast as they are creepy looking, and worse yet... its based on a true story.
Graphically, although enhanced over the PS 2 version this game does not take advantage of the Xbox, as it should have. It does not look good on my Widescreen TV as images look somewhat stretched. Most Xbox games I have make the conversion pretty smoothly, including Taco's Dead or Alive 3,and Extreme Beach Volleyball. Worse yet, although the poly-counts are high, and look really good in some ways the lack of detail in the fingers (and the lack of fingernails) is annoying. Particularly since the character faces look so good. The biggest problem is that some of the in game graphics are grainy, and there is this odd effect that causes some colors to smear and blend poorly, as well as pixilation in some textures. This game looks like a port, and is nowhere near as polished as other horror games ported to Xbox (Silent Hill 2). Despite some enhancements this game could have been improved more in many areas. Never the less leave it to my Widescreen TV to bring out flaws that would most likely not be noticeable on a regular TV.
Sound effects and music in this game are a part of what make this game so terrifying. Creepy, and intense the sound effects deserve a perfect score except... the voice acting in this game is simply ghastly. The voice-overs range from mediocre to poor, which is sadly typical of this genre. Never the less none of the flaws interfere with the truly terrifying experience, or the appeal intrigue of this true story. Just trust me, and don't play this game alone. Even with the lights on its still ultra scary.

"Terrifyingly Good", Fatal Frame is probably one of my favorite Survival Horror games.
Techmo has done it again... this is the third game released by techmo that is my favorite, other two are DOA series and Ninja Gaiden... The visuals and sound on Fatal Frame are extemely haunting and great for the scare factor. The story is superb in every way, shape, and form... I never got to finish playing Fatal Frame, but my buddy Matt, played it for hours and beat it several times... Acording to him... Kirie is really hot in human form... Is it just me or does Miku kinda look as if she could pass for Kasumi's younger sister... Either way, Fatal Frame is definatly a highly neglected game, all because you can't blow stuff up, but in reality, it's one sweet game.

"Different, I'll give you that!", For fans of the horror genre, this is a must have game. While this game has all the elements to be made into a great scary film, you won't be afraid to turn off the lights however after playing this. The story is told extremely well through cut-scenes and items such as newspaper clippings and tapes you pick up on your way. The controls are hard to get used to and their are a lot of clipping issues you have while trying to run from ghosts which can be frightning at times. I would say the scariest element in this game is the suspense you feel while entering certain rooms or hearing certain sounds. This game is more puzzle based and does not rely on a lot of fast paced action, but is a must have for horror fans!
