ZTGD | Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water (Wii U) Review

Justin Celani writes: Whether you believe in the afterlife or not, the idea of ghosts can be extremely scary. A force, unnatural, or perhaps stuck in between the world of the living and the dead. Who’s to say what they really are and if they really exist. That hasn’t stopped Hollywood from making countless movies about the phenomenon, but the gaming world seems to lack games about ghosts. We have a few off shot games or ghosts in games that fall more under the line of funny or silly measures. Yet one series did ghosts in a scary manner, mixing ancient folklore and urban legends; Fatal Frame, and they have returned once again to scare up the masses.

scores are a little all over the place.. I have seen anywhere from 5 - 8.5.

Will still pick this up.

TheColbertinator3481d ago

Fatal Frame has rarely passed the 8s on reviews mainly because people prefer action oriented games rather than complex games with story and atmosphere.

Either way horror fans will instantly recognize the brilliance of Fatal Frame

Lionalliance3481d ago

Then what about the recent horror games that you need to explore with complex story and atmosphere that people really like then?

I love the old FF's, trust me when i say this one nor 4 is even comparable to the first 3.

Whereas 4 was very glitchy and lacking in story, this new one is just so absurd in its pandering that it ruins the experience. Seeing a ghost with huge boobs is not scary, it's kind of hilarious.

Seeing a lot of these bipolar reviews tells me many reviewers don't understand the charm of these games. There is a reason there is a fatal frame cult following despite clunky controls and horrid acting it just fits the atmosphere of this game. It's spooky as hell in its own right. It's not trying to be silent hill or resident evil it's alwAys been a unique but flawed game that delivers on the spook factor immensely. It sounds just like previous fatal frames that means if you liked the others you'll like this one. The only exception may be that using the wii controller as the camera might be the straw that broke the camels back.

it kinda sucks that the game has become exclusive to Nintendo I would much rather play this on Playstation.... I still may pick a Wii U and this game when they go on reduce to clear inventory prices though

DualWielding3481d ago

can anyone confirm if Ayane from Dead or Alive is on the western version of the game? I'm a big DOA and Fatal Frame fan so I'm interested on playing her on a Fatal Frame environment

GrimDragon3480d ago

Yes ayane will make a guest appearance. Apparently she's looking for someone...but why on suicide mountain? Kasumi?

Mega_Volnutt3481d ago

WiiU is underpowered, yeah right. This looks amazing for a WiiU game with limited hardware.

I mean that was sort of obvious.
There was literally nothing on this franchise, then they ported Maiden of Black Water likely because it was the easier one to translate to modern devices being a Wii U title and all. And now we are getting a remaster of the 4th title. So it stands to reason that Maiden of Black Water was successful enough to start the whole process.

A remaster of the Fatal Frame 2 remake that was on Wii would be very welcome as well. That game is great. Scared the crap out of me the first time I played it as well lol.
