Anime News Network's Dave Riley writes, "It's frustrating to see a once-beloved franchise fail. Ten years ago Fatal Frame 2 produced, in a genre mostly known for crap voice acting, an emotional climax second only to Silent Hill 2. The series never reached that height again, but still maintained a persistently dour atmosphere and a handful of outstanding scares. The legacy of these games is now bound up with Spirit Camera: short, and finicky, and not all that engaging. Compared to decrepit mental hospital or a decaying mansion, the well-lit confines of your living room never stood a chance."
MonsterVine: "Let’s take a look at five survival horror games that tried to do something special but, for one reason or another, completely missed the mark."
“Inspired by a true story” are the five words that can both inspire delight and strike fear in the hearts of anyone looking for something spooking to enjoy. Koei Tecmo has been using that approach to help sell the Fatal Frame series for years. By offering fictional locations, rituals and situations inspired by Japanese folklore and history, the company has provided people with a shooter that involves defeating ghosts with cameras to survive otherworldly encounters. Join us as we go through the catalog of Fatal Frame games.
