    The game is one of the greatest that you'll ever find. The storyline grabs the player into finishing the game. The only flaw is the game is rather short.

    Absolutely superb. It has the same immersive feeling as Looking Glass classics like System Shock and Thief, and is without doubt the finest horror game I've ever played. The first-person view available only on the Xbox version enhences the experience immeasurably - play only this version, and only in first-person, or you won't get the best out of it. And, of course, play in the dark.

    This game was a little easy, but it scared the crap out of me, and that is what I wanted. Best horror game ever.

    Perfect horror game , i played it many times but always get scary . You walk alone in the darkness without knowing where it lead you to, find your beloved without knowing what is the result. Scary, touching, alone......

    Not the best of the series and it starts out paibfully slow for the first few hours. But has a cool story and picks up.

    this game is honestly one of the scariest games I've played, at least for the first two hours, because then you start to get a bit used to, but still continues to be scary. the horror of the game is probably the greatest aspect, because the gameplay doesn't have anything special to it, infact its awkward to move around at most times, but if your a horror junkie, this is a must play.

When I first started this game, I could only play for like 15 min at a time (mind you, I was playing late at night) because I was so uncomfortable and nervous. great for scares, but not exactly a fun game… Expand

    My biggest problem is how the camera obscura works in this game I like it better number one way just have to pointer camper and wait for it to full the gate where it this one you have to for the correct moment to take a picture to make any kind of real damage. the original took about 3 hours to complete and it was intens all the way through ,fatal Frame 2 took me 6 hours and I used partMy biggest problem is how the camera obscura works in this game I like it better number one way just have to pointer camper and wait for it to full the gate where it this one you have to for the correct moment to take a picture to make any kind of real damage. the original took about 3 hours to complete and it was intens all the way through ,fatal Frame 2 took me 6 hours and I used part 3hr of them just walking around and looking for the way too get to The next three section at looking for every nook and cranny to find the way to programs, if it wasn't for podcasting YouTube videos I would have been so bored while playing this is, I would still recommended but it is my least favorite fatal Frame game… Expand

    Intelligent, macabre, scary, superbly directed and perfectly pitched for casual players and more hardcore gamers alike, this game does for survival horror what the influx of Japanese and Korean movies has done for horror cinema in recent years.

    If you have an active imagination, you might want to avoid this game. You can play it if you want, just don't plan on getting any restful sleep. [Dec 2004, p.83]

    One of gaming's most horrific experiences. [Feb 2005, p.102]
