Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly for PlayStation 2 Reviews by Gamers

Games like Fatal Frame just have to impress!! FF2 is definitely not for action-lovers. There is no shooting, no running around(the main characters seem to hardly move sometimes),but that's not the main aspect of the game.

FF is supposed to be scary... dreadful..twisted, intriguing, mysterious, shocking. And it IS. It's like watching a very good movie, thinking through it, trying to find the answers to a bunch of vague questions.

THE GOOD~~~

In short: FF2 is very interesting, almost breath-taking. You and your twin sister are somehow drawn into a creppy village that is enernally drowned in the darkness and is inhabited by restless ghosts... so you will be discovering the secrets of the All God's Village as well as the reason why you two got involved...

The gameplay is good, using a camera instead of guns is nice, it also requires pretty good skills since you'd have to snap at a precise time -a matter of half a second- to blast the ghost off and get a great deal of satisfaction from it heheh

The graphics are very good and the whole village looks so deserted and quiet, that this fact alone gives you the chills. Of course, the game also has plenty of moments which could scare the heck out of you...i had to scream a couple of times myself :S

THE BAD~~~

I didn't like monotony of the surroundings... every house, room, and corridor look a bit too similar. It got tirind in a while

Also i don't like the fact that to get the TRUE ending one needs to beat the game on HARD mode. i beat the game once on normal and was so involved in the story that the sad ending just bewildered me! Going through the game AGAIN and on Hard mode..oh man, i never got to do it.

OVERALL
The game is beautiful, captivating, scary and it definitely worth playing!!!

Morbib story, cool weapon, good graphics, weak gameplay-got about 17 hours through, very unworthy ending to whoever plays the game. I mean it makes sense, but it's just so depressing when you think about it!
