It's a piece of art... as well as the next step in survival horror videogames. If you know japanese at an intermediate level you'll be able to understad almost all conversations. Written text is a little harder, but you could figure out the meaning.
5 Stars.
特點
Visit old mansions and hospitals in the deserted island. Shine your torch light as if in a real ghost hunt, a blue light will sparkle from objects of interest when you shine your torch on them.
Reach out to take the objects of interest, however, beware of the pale hand that stretches out from nowhere to grab you.
Read old news articles and memos to learn more about the abduction.
Solve the riddles in the hospital and mansion to proceed with the plot.
Although the island is deserted, you don't know who you will find there. Touch them to turn them over.
Aside from your torch light, your trusty camera is your other ally. It captures spirits and an image of the hidden past onto film.
詳細描述
Do things cease to exist if we forget about them?
For every decade, a special ceremony is held at a shrine in Rougetsu island. 10 years ago, during a traditional Japanese concert, a case of suspected abduction occurred. Five girls disappeared without a trace as if taken away by supernatural forces.
Although the case was solved by a policeman, the girls seemed to have suffered from a special form of amnesia, they have forgotten what happened during their abduction. The amnesia disturbed the girls, but this matter seemed to have been settled when they moved away from the island.
However, unlike what everyone thought, this case was not over. 10 years later, two victims from the case were killed in a brutal manner and the survivors suspected it has something to do with Rougetsu island. To find out about the truth behind the case and stop the killing before the culprit takes another life, two survivors, Misaki and Madoka set off to the island they have moved away from so long ago.
The remaining survivor Minatsuki Ruka seemed to be the only one who still retained some remnants of memories from her abduction ordeal. She remembered a melody, a group of musicians being surrounded by a circle of masked men and a masked woman who danced as if she was possessed by spirits. In search of the truth behind the memories and images that plagued her life, she, too set off for the island after Misaki and Madoka.
The series continues... And provides with a reason to keep on playing! Beautifully rendered on the Wii and with an innovative control scheme, Tecmo has a made a game for a fan of the series as much as a great game for anyones collection! It's worth it to note that you will not be able to play this game on a NTSC UC Wii.

A gem A superb game which, unfortunately, will never make it outside of Japan for no good reason (courtesy of Nintendo). As always, the story is enticing, graphics are quite good and the atmosphere is awesome. Too bad I don't understand much japanese, but, either way, it's a great experience for any Wii owner out there. If you are a fan of the genre, or just like horror related videogames, then this is one you need to purchase.
Also, thanks a lot to Play- Asia for the outstanding costumer service, as usual.

A really scary game This is my first fatal frame game I'm playing.. and all I can say is that it's freaking scary - great graphics in my opinion, and nice atmosphere for your scary needs.
No music, but the Background sounds, doors opening - faint screams or voices and sounds of people walking / running did at least make my heart beat faster, and I hope you'll find this game interesting.
Everything is in Japanese, and I advice players to have a little understanding in japanese before buying.

What a shame Nintendo... ...for not realeasing this outside Japan. This game is excellent, as the other ones on the franchise. A must buy, for the graphics, for the atmosfere, and for all that Fatal Frame represents: the king of scary games....
