Discount Fatal Frame 2


So, I just got into scary games and I heard about Fatal Frame. It's supposed to be like THE SCARIEST game of all time. Well, let me tell you, IT IS! I got scared playing (well, not even playing, watching) the first 5 minutes, in the dark W/ no lights on and surround sound.
*side note* I think any horror game MUST be played in:

-surround sound
-No lights, just darkness
-No one around (although, playing w/ friends is fun ^ ^)

Getting into the game now, the game is very well rounded. The graphics are amazingly good, clear, and crisp. This helps to see the detail in the characters, ghosts, and environment, making for an even more horrific experience.
The ghosts are really scary too! Although, for enemy design most of them feel really similar except for how they look. They just come at you and you take a picture. Not much variety.
The storyline (in my opinion) was okay. They come across this village and they find out that there was a twin related ritual held there (as seen in the cover) and that somehow it is related to them (I haven't finished the game yet.)
The dialogue, as in most horror games, is mediocre. All the characters talk like they haven't eaten or drinked in days: In broken up and gaspy sentences.
The fighting mechanics are vey unique. You are armed with the 'Camera Obscura.'With it, you are able to take pictures of tortured souls, which will damage them. This requires the player to be in camera mode, which is basically like a FPS but with a camera. You are able to move up and down and strafe in this mode. Depending on the shot of the ghost, you will be awarded certain amount of points to use to upgrade your camera.Throughout the game you will find 'Spirit Orbs,' which you can equip to your camera and use the points to add power.

Overall, this is a MUST GET game for any horror fan. Personally, I'm more of a fan favorite of the silent hill series for its psychological horror. But this game is very good at keeping you freaked out with the creepy places you visit, and the ghosts that come visit you.Get more detail about Fatal Frame 2.
