Product Information

If you're ready for the scare of a lifetime, try out Tecmo's Fatal Frame for the Microsoft Xbox. Based on a true story, the game follows twins Miku and Mafuyu Hinasaki in the year 1986. When Mafuyu decides to investigate a haunted mansion, he never returns home. His sister, the brave Miku, decides to explore this mansion and find her missing twin brother. What Miku doesn't expect is that the mansion is home to ghosts, demons, and other paranormal entities. On your adventure, you'll uncover just what happened at this abode that made the spirits so restless. This nine-hour game from developer Tecmo will have you on the edge of your seat throughout its entirety. Armed only with a flashlight, your character will explore room after room in this dilapidated house. Fixed angles and an intentionally dark environment make this game even scarier. Frequently, enemies and objects will burst out of the shadows to give you a fright. Controlling your character is a breeze as the 3-D movement makes it easy for you to navigate each room. As you explore, you'll find audio tapes and written diaries that shed some light on the story. You'll also find objects needed to complete puzzles along with health items. Throughout much of Fatal Frame, you'll need to don your thinking cap. The game provides players with lots of puzzles to solve with solutions being mandatory to progress further in the game. This Fatal Frame game for the Xbox isn't just about solving puzzles and exploring a spooky house. Eventually, evil ghosts will make an attempt on your life. If a ghost touches your character, you'll lose health. Lose all your health, and you're back to the last time you saved your game. However, developer Tecmo has provided you with a weapon you can use against the forces of evil: a camera. Dubbed the Camera Obscura, this device lets you capture any evil spirits you come across. Combat is easy to grasp and has a surprising amount of depth to it. Your objective is to focus your lens on a spirit for as long as possible to deal more damage. However, you'll need to constantly move when any spirits are nearby, creating a risk versus reward system. You'll find different types of film in your adventure, each of which does different amounts of damage. Every time you capture a spirit, you earn experience points, which you can use to level your character up. The camera isn't just a device used for combat. You'll frequently use it to solve puzzles as well. For example, taking a picture of a locked door will show you where on the map the key is located. With a release date in 2002, Fatal Frame for the Xbox is an attractive game to play. The ghosts have a transparent effect to them. Fatal Frame, developed by Tecmo, received a rating of T from the ESRB. It earned this rating due to its use of violence and the amount of blood and gore. If you're looking for a scary game on the Xbox, you'll love Fatal Frame. To get the most out of this game, you'll want to play it at night with the lights off.
