Hi guys, have you ever play a game with a gameplay that you must take a photo of ghost? No kidding! maybe you think about that. But, there is a fact that have a game with that gameplay. The name of the game is "Fatal Frame". Its a Japanese game and the sequel of the Fatal Frame itself is for a platform PlayStation 2 and Wii. Today, I'd like to give the information about the third sequel of the Fatal Frame series. The sequel is "Fatal Frame III : The Tormented". In Japan know as "Zero : Shisei no Koe" (in English " Zero : Voice of the Tattoo" ). This game is a third installment for the Fatal Frame series and also game takes place two years after Fatal Frame and about two months after Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. The game was realesed for PlayStation 2 on July 28, 2005 in Japan and November 8, 2005 for North America. The genre of the game is survival horror. So, let's discuss about the gameplay and also the plot of the game.Plot
23-year-old freelance photographer Rei Kurosawa has been mourning the death of her fiancé, Yuu Asou, after a car accident caused by his reckless driving. About two months after his death, while on assignment for the derelict Kuze mansion, Rei discovers his image on one of the photos she had taken. Shortly after, she begins having recurring nightmares of an old Japanese manor house—the "Manor of Sleep"—during a heavy snowfall, where she is touched by a tattooed ghost.Upon waking, Rei notices a mysterious bruise on her body, where the ghost had touched her; this mark spreads each time she dreams about the Manor. As Rei continues to explore the Manor of Sleep, she begins to receive investigation notes from Kei Amakura, a close friend of Yuu who writes in his letters that he and his niece Mio both have similar symptoms.Rei learns that her photography assistant, Miku Hinasaki, is also under the same curse. The lines between dream and reality blur when ghosts began appearing in Rei's house, and the bruise on her body continues to expand and form a snake-and-holly tattoo similar to the tattooed ghost who touched her. Rei learns through uncovering diaries and research that the dreams are caused by Reika Kuze, the last Tattooed Priestess tasked with the duty of containing others' emotional pain within the tattoos on her body.
Although meant to rest for eternity, Reika had unintentionally released "the Rift", a form of darkness which destroyed the village, after her childhood lover Kaname was murdered in front of her eyes. Now corrupted and unable to rest, she haunts people with a strong attachment to dead loved ones. Within time, the tattoos Reika had cursed her victims with will completely cover their bodies and cause them to disappear, leaving behind black soot, although following the dead would eventually lead to death as well.Because of Rei's attachment to Yuu; Miku's to her brother Mafuyu, and Kei's strong connection to Mio, mourning for her sister Mayu, all three are trapped in the Manor of Sleep.When Miku enters a coma, Rei loses all hope of ending the curse until Kei suggests that by staking down Reika's body in the Chamber of Thorns, she can rest peacefully and no longer endanger them. However, he becomes trapped in the chamber himself upon making a horrific discovery: Reika's body has already been pinned to the ground. With only Rei remaining, she confronts Reika and exorcises her spirit. Following the lyrics of a song in the ritual, Rei puts the bodies of Reika and Kaname in a small boat and pushes it across an underground sea behind the stone ritual chamber - the Abyss of the Horizon, the passage to the spirit world. As the boat begins to vanish into the distance, other dead spirits begin to cross the sea, one of them being Yuu. The tattoo which now covers Rei's body transfers to Yuu, who insists that she must go on living and keep his memory alive. Once Rei and Miku wake up, they resume their normal lives.

Gameplay
In Fatal Frame III, the player uses the vintage "Camera Obscura" to photograph and dispel ghosts. The player explores in third-person in either the Manor of Sleep or the real world. On the main screen is a "Ghost Filament", which indicates a ghost's presence; red signals a hostile ghost, while blue indicates a neutral ghost. At any point in the game, the player can enter first-person mode via the viewfinder, used for photographing ghosts. The Camera Obscura has a limited amount of film for ammunition, and the player must search areas thoroughly to obtain more. The player gains points through defeating ghosts or by taking pictures of neutral ghosts or seals. These points can be used to upgrade different aspects of the camera, such as range and sensitivity
The character itself from the game are : Rei Kurosawa, Kei Amakura and Miku Hinasaki. These are the the protagonists during the gameplay. And also the song for the game's ending is "Koe" sung by Tsukiko Amano. For me, its a game that can make you scared enough and shocked enough too. Just Imgaine that you must fight against a ghost or spirit things using a camera and take a picture of that scariest things, really challenge your adrenalin right? Don't play the game alone or you just brave enough to get the shocked things from the game alone?
