this completes the all 10 trilogy of Fatal Frame games... however, i don;t recommend the PSN download for PS3, it struggles...

played the game on PS2, but i adore this version... the definitive edition of the best horror game of that generation...

bought this long ago as a double-dip, as i have the game on PS2, too... fixes most of the issues i encountered from the PS2 version thanks to the power of the XBox... a good get if you can find a copy...

one of the best games this year... 10 is the highest recommendation i reviewers can give, but it never means it's a perfect game. there's always room for improvement... however, anyone scoring this below a 6 is never to be taken seriously...

the best 'Souls' game from FROM SOFTWARE thus far. i personally give this a 10... caveat for those reading user reviews and those considering buying: this game is an action-based Role-Playing Game (RPG) with stat and resource management. this is not a straight ACTION game nor adventure game. this game is not like Devil-May-Cry nor Assassin's Creed. i've seen the pattern on the negative reviews that these gamers were expecting to play an action game hence their frustrations... on a technical standpoint, the game is beautiful with a fully-rendered 3D world littered with destructible objects. however the game is not fully optimized, heavy action situations causes frame-rate dips, the huge worlds require a 40-second loading time and the loading screen is bland... the story is genuinely well-planned. the game does not rely on cut-scenes to tell the Lovecraftian horror story befalling the inhabitants of Yharnam, you piece it together from your interactions with the various NPCs and item descriptions... game play wise. this game is not really THAT hard if you don't rush in. the early enemies are weak enough that you can determine your play style and then manage your stats accordingly. one complaint is that while they give you a choice of Trick weapons at the start they don't give you a blunt weapon to try out with... on a whole, i agree with the acclaim this Action-RPG is receiving and i personally recommend this to PS4 gamer looking to challenge their meticulous and methodical side...
