    Fatal frame is finally back to playstation consoles! If you are a fan of the good old horror games like me, do not let some bad reviews keep you away from the game especially if you played any fatal frame before, if that's the case the spookys and are guaranted

    Finally Fatal Frame can be enjoyed by more people from different platform, a very good thing considering it's the most scary games you'll ever played.

    The game is surprisingly fun to play. It has that old Japanese horror movie kind of feel. It's not really scarry, though there are a few spooky moments on each level. Graphics might not be the best, but they're good enough for this kind of game and don't ruin the experience. All these books and notes you can find and read contribute a lot to the atmosphere.

    A nice return to the PlayStation after being stranded on Nintendo consoles. I really enjoyed the game gameplay but I would say that this start it's kind of hard to get into the first two level didn't really hug me but I was Invest in the latest half . You can feel that this is Wii u port but it is a good port The graphic holds up and atmosphere is top-notch.

    This is most definitely an improvement over the original Wii U version. Still flawed in some aspects, but it doesn’t ruin the experience.

    Even with its flaws, I was still having some fun with the game, until all my saved files in the PS4 version was erased all of a sudden after many hours of campaign, with no logic at all. Too bad that happened, because of that I won't go back to the game anytime soon.

    Although the original version from Wii U was good already, unfortunately, I have to say that the PS4 version is quite a poor port.It just runs at a higher resolution and frame-rate but still, there was no overall improvement in this version. You should buy this game **only** if you really want to play for the first time and don't have a Wii U at your hands. Otherwise, you can skip and saveAlthough the original version from Wii U was good already, unfortunately, I have to say that the PS4 version is quite a poor port.It just runs at a higher resolution and frame-rate but still, there was no overall improvement in this version.

    One of the most beautiful ghostly horror games ever, I was deprived of this part because it was exclusive to a wii , The game contains the same previous horror elements from a terrifying Japanese story and environment that is very excellent. Perhaps the control is a little difficult for those who are not used to this system, but it is fun and I advise everyone to try it.

    A worthy entry for fans of the series, this might very well win over some new ones. It’s a solid reminder of what makes Project Zero so unique and appealing. [Issue#8, p.85]

    The ABC of horror games is that they tend to be frightening, but Maiden of Black Water is not only true to that, but also fails to stand up to Fatal Frame name and delivers a simple, average experience on every level.

    Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is clearly a game from another generation. There is a lot here that the series still does well, particularly when it comes to setting and story. However, years don't come alone, and the quality of this remastered, along with the game's control problems of controls, really make the experience less interesting.
