The plot of this game is simple enough. Miku, a college girl, goes to Himuro mansion seeking her missing brother, who, in turn, was searching for the novelist Junsei Takamine and his two colleagues, all three of whom disappeared. Takamine had heard some of the legends associated with the mansion and had thought they would make good material for a book. Unfortunately, neither he or his colleagues lived long enough to write it.
The plot is fascinating, as you and Miku seek to solve the mystery behind the disappearances. The various clues and notebook scraps you pick up, and the way Miku links these together almost make this as much as a detective story as a horror story. You do need a modicum of intelligence to solve the mystery, but the plot is so involving you are dragged forward almost against your will.
Miku is only a young college girl and has only a camera at her disposal. With skill and care you can get through the entire game without getting hit,...
THE GOOD: Several Creepy and bone chilling ghosts Storyline is interesting,Touching and amazing Graphics are very good and make the ghosts very scary The weapon you use (Camera) is very unique
THE BAD: Puzzles are way too easy Not enough herbs or medicines Game is too short(I wanted to enjoy it longer) The game bosses is very hard
SUMMARY: The game is more creepy then gory actually. But there's lots of anxiety you feel as you explore the mansion. Your main character is Miku who goes in the mansion to search for her brother Mafuyuu who hasn't come home. Mafuyuu went in the mansion to search for someone who's he close to which is a novelist named Takamine who went in the mansion with his two assistants to get help on working his book. The Himuro family that lived there did Shinto rituals but now the mansion is in ruins for several years.
Miku uses a camera as a weapon as she explores the mansion. Her mother's antique...
SUMMARY: graphic are OK on the ps2 but better on the xbox but other than that its a griping game that requires patients and a bit of brain power. ghouls and ghosts well ghosts and you can only fight them with a camera if you see the game you should buy it if its your cup of tea because its one of those games that you don't see the shops a lot kind of a rare game but that's where i live Buy It you'll get your moneys worth but has some slight glitches like because the game view is set so a certain position u could be bumping into walls. not for the weak hearted that's if u scare easily Ha HA HA!!! some serious skill to really master, so all in all the game is tuff to beat, and not at all suitable for pansies. Two thumbs way up!
THE GOOD: .Unique combat using a camera .Genuinely scary .Ghosts
THE BAD: .Sometimes a little too scary and hard
SUMMARY: In Fatal Frame, you are Miku and she goes to Himuro Mansion to look for her missing brother Mafayu who has been missing for two weeks after going into the mansion looking for his friend and mentor Takamine ,who had also been missing. Little does Miku know, ghastly rituals and murders had been commited in the mansion and ghosts haunt the house and its grounds.
From the moment you set foot in the house the atmosphere is truly terrifying as there could be ghosts in any room you enter. Some ghosts are just wandering spirits snd some ghosts attack you and this is when the unique camera fighting system comes in. The ghosts can be harmed by taking pictures of them and the longer you have them in the viewfinder or the closer they are (and if the circle glows orange) the more damage they will take. And these aint...
THE BAD: Not very much.. except for when you go through a door, and you try to keep going, you do a spin and then keep going forward... or at least I do.
SUMMARY: This game is the scariest, the most Japanese-like, and most original ever! Well, not most original, cause there are some others, but it's right up there with them! I love to play this game with my best friend in her basement at night. Her sister will come and watch us play, but gets really freaked out. And if you're going "How could you be scared by a game?" I'll tell you how. Have you ever had ghosts follow you through doorways to attack you, leaving you with only a camera and a flashlight? Have you wandered around a haunted mansion to find your twin brother? I'm guessing not... and I haven't either. But if I had, this would definately be the way to go about it. If you've never played this game, IT IS A MUST! I loved it, and I'm pretty...
THE GOOD: Unique battle system, terrifying atmosphere, personal photo albums, realistic ghosts, terrific storyline.
THE BAD: Character running speed & maneuverability.
SUMMARY: By far, Fatal Frame is one of the tops for Scariest Game Ever right alongside Silent Hill and Alone In The Dark.
First, it has the most unique battle technique I've ever seen. I've heard some people complain that a camera is a "stupid weapon", but there's a limit to the entertainment value of firearms when used in frequent repetition. I've not seen a game like this that uses something as original as a camera with spirit powers. You've got completely 3D first-person POV control of it, not to mention the ability to create your own photo album showcasing your favorite shots. It also adds to the terror of battling ghosts, because it's like you're seeing the action through your own eyes. The controller for the shutter is realistic too, because it's used...
THE GOOD: all of it. it is one of the best scary games ever. it kick resident evil out onto the street
THE BAD: lack of 90 film
SUMMARY: this will have your ass leaking fluid when you play this game!! it is so scary and dark you will be afraid of the dark for ages.

THE GOOD: The use of first person view and the creepy music
THE BAD: facing doors, could be very difficult at times.
SUMMARY: I am not at all a fan of horror games after playing the unplanned and most scary game of all time sillent hill 2. This game genre is a combination of pokemon and resident evil games.
The interesting thing about this game is the use of first person mode, enabling the player to see what they producers want them to see and not see. The game has its weaknesses, opening doors could be frustrating as well as snapping pictures (which is necessary for a game of this genre). This elements however not often makes this game scare the panties out of you.
The enemies are one of the greatest things of the game, being able to see and shoot (,which at the same time makes your hand sheaver). The enemies are brilliantly created (by making them look like holograms) to scare the hell out of any one. This is a great...
THE GOOD: Instead of having enough arsenal to blow up half of Tokyo and the surrounding area, all you have is a mysterious camera and your nerves to make it through alive.
THE BAD: I would be running like HOLY HECK to escape soul-sucking death! I wish they would have made Miku's(the main character) movements more realistic.
SUMMARY: This game is awesome! I bought it taking a chance and was immediately addicted. Solving the mystery of Himuro Mansion's evil past is terrifying fun, and having only a camera to trap it's ghostly occupants is refreshing. I liked the way the game moved along at a steady pace, and the fact that you had to use clues as you played to move on was great. The real clincher was the camera. Your ability to take photographs and earn points to build up the camera(the manual will explain this) and unlock "Bonus" and "Special" Functions(you also have to complete some tasks to unlock "Special" Funcitons) is...
THE GOOD: An atmosphere that will make your flesh crawl - graphically very disturbing - sound that will freeze your spine.
THE BAD: Slight character control niggles. Difficulty increases quite substantially after first couple of hours play.
SUMMARY: This is scary. No, really - Trust me. And I don't scare easily. Okay, so Silent Hill 2 WAS unsettling (Resident Evil doesn't count: far too slow, tongue-in-cheek, dumb, zombie-blasting, b-movie trash), but this somehow transcends anything before to present you with a truly disturbing experience. And If you're thinking: "these people must be total wusses for being scared by a game" - THINK AGAIN. The idea is quite original (the camera being your only protection), so too is the believable storyline and setting. A haunted Japanese mansion? - I don't remember the last time i saw one of those in a movie, let alone a game. When i say "haunted", what I actually mean is a house of pure evil which has been...
