Arming you with a spirit-dispelling camera, this interactive ghost story attempts to focus its fear in the moments before exposure. For instance, your older sister follows you with a slight but disconcerting limp into obscuring darkness. Grainy black-and-white flashbacks of another pair of twins periodically flash across the screen, somehow more disturbing in their implied violence and lack of clarity.
In order to cause a spirit the most damage, you should wait to snap the shutter until just before the ghoulie grabs you, but such grace under pressure requires steely nerves. The chicken-hearted really need not apply to FatalFrame 2. Your camera reveals other horrors as well. As you progress further into the game, photos of your sister will reveal ghostly hands drawing ever closer Make no mistake; this game wants to scare you in the worst possible way.
For a sequel to a game that was hyped as one of the scariest around, FF2 strikes me as something of a spookiness letdown. Sparse apparitions lingering in the halls and appearing from thin air startle successfully, but the feeling of impending danger I'd get with a Resident Evil or Silent Hill just isn't there. Some ghosts are armed, but many simply use some sort of vague, inappropriate touching to whittle away my easily replenished stamina.
Not too scary, really. But the beauty of FF2 is that there's still plenty there without the scare. But, the souls of those who started going there were those of desperate people that went just to commit suicide, turning this sacred place into a haunted, valley of horror.
At the beginning of the game, three people decide to infiltrate this place, Yuri Kuzokata, who can see paranormal beings; Ren Hojo, a writer that's researching the postmortem photographies in Mount Hikami; and Miu Hiasaki, a student that woke up in the water of the sacred mount without explanation.
They all have different motives to visit the place, and they all will find out that they're in for a horrific adventure. The most important object in the game is a camera with the ability to find objects and neutralize the entities that inhabit Mount Hikami. To make the effect of the camera more durable, you have to control the feat levels and get the clearest and most focused photography you can.
This entry comes with a little more than just enhanced visuals, it also has new clothes, and settings for the gameplay. It will also allow you to choose the camera settings and has a photo mode to have the ghosts pose for you on the photos.
All the entries in the series are centered around evil villages or cursed towns, and they all have specters, human sacrifices, ghosts, and much more. Taking a cue from the Blair Witch Project, Fatal Frame puts you in the shoes of a shaky teen whose only protection from predatory specters is an old-fashioned camera.
Piecemeal storytelling through note scraps, journals, audio tapes and news clippings scattered throughout an exquisite Japanese mansion also helps establish an ominous foreboding in the game. Some weaknesses, though, will keep it from being on the top of your horror hit list. But those who find pleasure in scaring themselves pantless will have better luck watching Richard Simmons Farewell to Fat infomercials at 3 a. Newsletter sign up. Download Size: 2.
