Project Zero 2 comes from a lineage of games that take survival horror to terrifying new limits; and the franchise certainly doesn't disappoint on Nintendo's Wii console. The game, a remake of 2003's disturbing Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, creates a creepy and all-pervading atmosphere that weighs heavy over its entire duration.

At times, Project Zero 2 verges on an ordeal, as hour after hour is spent tiptoeing around spooky locales, waiting for the next well-placed shock. The action is always strictly linear, but the game excels as a brave, mature and truly immersive adventure that breathes some life into Nintendo's ageing platform.

Project Zero 2's story is a brutal and intense tale of death, spirituality and sacrifice, all revolving around twin sisters, Mio and Mayu - dressed, rather inevitably, in skimpy schoolgirl uniforms (anyone else find this trend just rather weird?). While out exploring, the sisters stumble upon the mist-shrouded All God's Village, where damned souls haunt every nook and cranny.


Playing as Mio, you become quickly aware that Mayu has fallen under the village's spell, and is leading her sister deeper and deeper into this hellish world. At first overwhelmed by the evil, Mio's fortunes change when she finds the Camera Obscura, an ancient device that can take pictures of the spirits and exorcise their malevolence from the village.

Even before the spirits make their entrance, All God's Village is a pretty terrifying place. The rising mist shrouds the view, creating an unearthly fog around the dilapidated and horror-filled cabins and dimly lit pathways, always leading somewhere ill. This sense of atmosphere is aided by the switch from the original game's static camera to over-the-shoulder, giving a narrow view and claustrophobic feeling.

As with all good survival horror games, Project Zero 2 excels by constantly keeping your heart in your mouth. It is that feeling that something is about to happen, whether peeking through a creaking door, or nervously glancing back down a dark corridor. It is seeing that blood trail on the floor and knowing in your gut that you simply have to follow it.

But as the great suspense-master Alfred Hitchcock once said - if you tell the audience that there is a bomb under a table, and it will go off in 15 minutes, then that bomb simply must go off. In the same essence, Project Zero 2 must eventually confront its player with what lurks in the dark.

Wandering around the spooky village you encounter some spirits that are spoiling for a fight. Armed with just the camera, you have to snap these spectres on a special ghost-sensitive film, and so suck the death out of them, so to speak.
