According to ESRB, this game contains: Blood and Gore, Violence
Parents may or may not what their children playing Fatal Frame. In some ways it really isnt as bloody or violent as other horror games, and there are no references to sex or alcohol whatsoever. However, many of the cutscenes and images of ghosts encountered throughout the game depict torture, disfigurement, and other nightmare-inducing concepts that may disturb children.
Fans of survival-horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill may have mixed reactions to Fatal Frame. To some it may seem a gimmicky imitation of better games, while others may find it to be a fresh approach to the genre.
Fans of Tecmo's earlier games may understand where its coming from more easily since its gameplay partially echoes the eccentricities of their Deception series.
Those who are intrigued by the plot involving traditional Japanese religion and mythology should be warned that the localization hampers its appeal, although it is still possible to enjoy to some degree.
Players who simply want to be scared will like this game a lot, but only if they find the photography aspect as subtly effective as I did.
