Fatal Frame's gameplay revolves around the use of photography - it acts as a weapon against ghostly spirits as well as a means of capturing the paranormal on film. Of course, this means the player spends much of Fatal Frame II in a first-person perspective looking through a tiny lens... It's not going to end well.

Infamously terrifying, Fatal Frame II's simple but effective gameplay is paramount to its horror experience - photography fans might end up scarred for life.
