What can I say about this game except it is absolutely the best Survival Horror game made. Period.
When "Fatal Frame" was released, it caused a sensation in the gaming world with it's unique concept of having a camera as your only weapon against ghosts bent on your demise. "Fatal Frame 2 - Crimson Butterfly" is even more terrifying and more awesome in every respect.
You play as twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura who are trapped in the Lost Village and must solve the mystery of what happened that plunge the village into darkness and turned all the residents into evil ghosts who come at you with a vengeance.
The problem is, the village has been sacrificing twin sisters and Mayu has almost no resistance to the paranormal activity of the village and starts to become unhinged. The battle is on to find her and save her from the ghostly villagers who want to continue with their ritualistic ways.
What's nice about this game is that you have a whole village to explore instead of just a mansion as in "Fatal Frame" and the graphics and spooky sounds are awesome. The ghosts have a more realistic look to them and float in and out of walls and boxes with ease and without any glitches.
The problem I had is the camera, it is used differently from the first game and took a while to get used to. Make sure you read the manual and understand it before you play and save often so that if you have a particularly bad battle you can try it again.
The ending is a complete surprise and extremely well done, it will definately not be what you expect.
Overall this game is excellent and a satisfying chaper in the "Fatal Frame" series.

Fatal Frame 2 the crimson butterfly is by far, the best survival game I've laid eyes on!

The graphics are kickass, the horror is horrifying! Though is no music most of the time it's still awsome, the plot is very original. I normally stay away from games like Silent Hill, especially after playing the 3rd one. But I just happen to glance at an advertisement in my magazine for this game and I was soooo intriguued I just had to play it!

Plot: it's basically about twins- Mio & Mayu- who vist a place where they spent their childhood, and Mayu {the elder twin and the stupider one} sees a crimson butterfly and follows it, Mio {younger twin and smarter one} chases after her sister. They then stumble upon a village,

but not just any ordinary village, it's filled with hostile ghosts and angry spirits. It's called " the lost village ", it's people preform rituals in order to sustain peace in there village.

The most common is the crimson ritual, where twins are sacrificed to the gate of hell. In order to please the gods, anyway along time ago, the villagers tried sacrificed Yae & Sae -twin- it didn't go as planned.

At the last minute a boy named Itsuki a remaining male twin from a previous ritual, - his twin bro Mutsuki- was sacrificed leaving him. Helped Yae the younger twin & Sae the elder twin escape,

He led them to the edge of the forest and left them to make it te rest of the way on their own. Yae was running ahead of Sae, and she couldn't keep up, Sae fell off of a ledge and the villagers got to her.

Sae was confident her twin would come for her, sadly enough Yae didn't. Sae was sacrificed alone,

it didn't work, she returned and brutally murdered everyone in the village. Leaving the village repeating itself over n over...and traping anyone who enters,

Mio & Mayu must escape the ghosts, survive the ritual and escape the horrid village!

I'd definately recommend this to any horror fan, I'd even think you end up buyin it,
