Let me begin by pointing out the BIGGEST flaw of this game, the controls. The controls are extremely horrible due to the fact that this game only takes advantage of the Wii remote instead of the remote AND the nun-chuck. Looking around is the worst and strangely I was able to look around better if I was moving. For example, at one point I was in a room and attempting to look around for I don't remember what reason, but the camera continually turned in a random direction. So I found out that if I steady the camera in the center of the screen (which was tedious in itself) and then backed up and moved forward gradually turning to the direction I wanted to look it either worked or at least gave me a look of what I wanted to look at. Also, I noticed getting closer to your TV very greatly makes the camera controls worse so if you are closer, you are just making it harder on yourself. The parts where you have to move the Wii remote in the direction arrows on the screen indicate can be very frustrating and it may seem like the game is deciding itself whether you are right or not. For example, I was at a part where I had to run from the girl, Kayako, and the game gave me a series that was something like left, right, right, up, up, down, etc. but anyways it was very easy on paper but it took me at least 4 tries to pass that part (each time starting from the very beginning of the level). Although, there was another sequence like that which was literally just a cluster you know what of arrows in all directions, but I passed that on the first try. I didn't even finish the last level (the cursed house) due to the fact that I attempted literally about 20 times on the first arrow sequence of that level.
The good parts of this game, there are great scares throughout the game that (and this is recommend) if you play with a friend will keep you laughing at your spooks. Two player is also very entertaining. This game is worth renting and playing through in one night
