Until yesterday I thought the first installment of Silent Hill was the scariest game I've ever played, bt yesterday I started playing Fatal Frame 2 or Project Zero and I was proven wrong..

The cover of the english PS2 version

Fatal Frame 2 is the second instalment of Fatal Frame(which I've never played or wasn't interested until now) in which the two twin sisters: Mio and Mayu get trapped by the Lost Village after Mayu chasing a crimson butterfly gets deep into the forest and then well you know what happens.

Mio and mayu

The sudden appereances of the wondering ghosts trapped in the village and the also sudden flashbacks mixed with loud sounds makes you jump from your seats. If you're not paying attention you will be ghost meal.

Remember that you're not alone in this village

In the game you're(most of the time) Mio, the older sister,at this point by controlling her I thought that Mayu would bepart of the decoration following me everywhere I gobutthough she doesn't seem it,she is quite usefull as she is sensitive ofghosts and she can give you usefullclues on what to do next. While other times the game tells you where to go, like following the crimson butterflies orghosts that go inor out ofplaces. And, sometimes, the game lets yu control her.

If you thought the game would give you a knife or any other kind of weapon common in survival-horrorgames you're wrong, "The Camera Obscura"(Obscura=obscure in spanish) which has the power to exorcise the ghosts. The controls ofthe camer are simple(for the PS2 version) you use the camero by pressing the circle buttom with R3 you move Miowith L3 you fix where are you looking and you snap the photo with X or R1. The camera Obscura can be upgraded with the spirit orbs that are scattered around the village or orbs that come out of the ghosts or the different lenses thathavedifferent abilities.

AIM FOR THE ZERO SHOT!!

That's all I got for now the only things I gotleftto say that the camera at first is a bit hard to master as the zero shots. The save points are hard to find I only founded the one in the kimono room X.X. Alsoit's the fifth time a ghost gets meby surpriseI don't know I don't get to see theghost sensor or hear a thing.

Doesn't it happen to you that you are out shopping or renting games and you find that there are millions of titles of the same thing.

This is what happens when an idea is successful. What really frustrates me is when once more an overused idea is used and then the game is an epic fail. It doesn't really bother me when the game comes out great, but sometimes the idea is so overused that it doesn't give space for something new and entretaining.

Only one word to describe this FAIL!

Clash of Ninja series is a geat example of this: I have lost track of how many they are at the moment.. and the last one...are they even trying anymore?? The story was a real disappointment and the missions are the same for all the characters plus they are really few. The only thing that it's good in this game is the use of the Wii remote in the combos.

NOTE: THIS IS JUST MY OPINION(MY FIRST ONE HERE)AND IT IS NOT MEANT TO HURT ANYONE IN ANYWAY SO PLEASE NO NASTY COMMENTS.

I know it's short and may not back my point but this is my first I will get better with time...
