    Great concept and scary as hell

    This game outshined Resident Evil with the scare factor. The ghost were creepy. The voice acting lacked somewhat, but not enough to hurt the game. The camera worked well. The sounds made this game scary alone. A great scary game that screws with your mind alot. I hope the sequel comes out soon.

    Pretty dull

    You just stumble around a mansion and some other places, and try to solve boring puzzles, mostly with your camera. Once in a while, a ghost shows up and you have to snap a crapload of pics of it, like it was some supermodel, and then see it disappear. Your character is a soulless doll with no personality. The story is a snoozefest and the gameplay is just pathetic. My character only died once during the hours of playing and the dying part is also pretty weird. Health runs out and then nothing happens. Just a GAME OVER screen comes up and then you're taken back to the main menu.

    And this is all coming from someone who really likes survival horror games, especially older ones.

    Simply put, the scariest video game ever!

    Those who don't think a video game could scare them need to sit through a battle with "Eyeless" in this game.

    The game says "based on a true story" on the cover but don't buy that. There's a real house in Japan that's said to be haunted and that's about it. The game, however, has a very inventive plot that keeps you guessing as the pieces begin to fall together. The graphics are excellent and the sound effects are beautiful.

    Rent this game and play it with the volume turned way up and the lights turned off. It will blow you away.

    Ghostbusters Camera

    It's amazing horror game, I really enjoy playing it the camera system with the upgrades and points, just makes it one of the most replayable and fun horror games.

    The combat system just having the camera on the ghost waiting for the bar to get full and then waiting for the critical hit or maybe just going for normal hit is a thing I never get bored of it has such a nice tension to it.

    Only problem with it, is in this game I felt there were a lot of times where the ghost after being hit, spawned inside me and I took damage so it's not the most fair fatal frame game.

    The controls you have to get used to it is reversed, so you when you are in ghostbuster mode the left is for moving a camera, and the right is for moving the character, it takes a lot of time to get used to, but if you play the Xbox version you can flip it to normal.

    The game is basically two types of puzzle, one is take a picture and find the key, or is trying to find the numbers for the combination and one of them is a sliding board puzzle that I couldn't figure out because all the letters are in Japanese, if you play the Xbox version it is not in Japanese.

    The ghost are horrifying , they show pain and how distraugh they are it's really well done, I have played this game too many times, so I don't feel any of the terror anymore and Ghost to not that scary to me, but if you are scared of ghosts then This Is Gonna Do It For You.

    The fixed camera placement just helps a lot with the atmosphere and the feeling of the place, because I have a run Button just press the square, she will run that direction. You've set her to, that is so awesome.

    If you're interested in fun ghost combat that I would recommend the game it has a lot of charm. It has some janky itches and has one of my favorite themes in video games, just being in one location to entire game. I always love it.
