So I just beat Project Zero II/Fatal Frame II (Fatal Frame is a way better name, by the way) game on the original XBox. I bought it recently as it's quite valuable for an OG XBox game. I thought it was great! I'm not a survival horror guy (I love the RE games and that's about it), so I was surprised by how much I liked it.
I actually didn't think the game was that scary, which is also surprising to me. Out of all the horror games I'd heard about, this always seemed to be the scariest premise to me. I don't know if I've been desensitized from playing the likes of REmake and RE7, but that was a little disappointing. There were still definitely scary parts like
What surprised me the most was the actual gameplay. I assumed you would just have a camera that could somehow take pictures of ghosts... and that would be it. It would just rely on the scares. But this camera is basically a weapon you can upgrade. You can inflict status effects with it, too. And taking the actual shots takes some skill and timing, so it's really satisfying hitting those shots at the perfect time.
Oh, the graphics were amazing, too. This is an old game but it looks so good.
So that's it. Maybe a random thread to make but I just loved this game. Any thoughts on the series? I wanna play them all now.

. I feel like the game would've been more intense if there were fewer healing times. I always had bucket loads until I got to the end.What surprised me the most was the actual gameplay.
