A horror game that delivers both game play and storyline.And not many games succeeds in that.
Like Fatal Frame games,it introduces many rituals that is really twisted like Fatal Frame 1 introduces the pulling of limbs apart and wearing some eye mask that pierces the eyeballs or Fatal Frame 3 which involves impaling the hands and legs than going through tattooing which I find should be quite torturous since they don't have the proper tools,I have to say the developers are kinda sick,in a creative way.So the story centers around not one but 2 characters(I wonder if this is coincidence or the developers really thought about this,BUT,if you notice Fatal Frame I controls one character,Fatal Frame 2 controls 2 characters and Fatal Frame 3 has 3 characters....guess the fourth one will have 4) ,twin girls who have the 6th sense and you get to control both..well,you control the physically stronger one more actually...thank God,because the other one is actually much weaker physically but is balanced by having a stronger 6th sense which usually causes ghost to use her as a medium...meaning she gets attracted to the crimson butterfly that flies around time to time and you have to go find her,irritating girl...but she is what gets you as the younger sister into trouble and that is what this game is about,being in screwed up situations.
So once again the Obscure Camera is introduced,but it has been slightly tweak,its design has been revamped to a different one which is hardly noticeable because they still have a antique look and truth to be told antique stuff all look almost the same unless you collect antiques.It has improved capabilities as well making the camera is much stronger weapon,the camera better be strong because you have no other weapon,but you get to get better films as you progress through the game.Ghost will pop out everywhere and the super cool thing is the vibration feedback when a ghost is near you,it really brings up the scare factor because the ghost might just pop up as people once they feel the vibration will go into First Person mode to get ready to screw the ghost,but once it is in First Person mode the ghost might just Pop in front of the TV and scare the hell out of you.This game although is about killing Ghost,it also has some puzzles which are quite fun at times and also quite a breather because at least you know no ghost will actually pop up and disturb you while you are solving something,so considerate.It is really intense in stages as well because of th lack of music adding a lot of tension.
So the main thing is about the story and I have to say it is one of the best Game plot I have ever played,it isn't only scary it usually gets emotional sometimes,especially at the normal ending part which is really sad and touching at the same time.The song at the end is very nice too because it is for the game and really adds to the emotional level,to those who are very emotional,this song will make you cry as you watch the ending....Best Ending I have ever watch actually.It is very hard to describe but it really gets very emotional.
This game is a must get if you are in for a horror game and a great storyline.
