It's a good game so far. I'm on Chapter 6.
It's like, it's not horrifying like Silent Hill 3 was for me, but at the same time it's kind of spooky and neato. You expect ghosts to jump out at you and put static on your screen whenever you enter a new room, and you're rarely dissapointed.
At one part, I looked out a window and then a little ghost boy jumped out at me from the other side and was like "Sup." I jumped a little, but then I just said "sup" back and took a picture.
Oh yeah, I should tell you what this game is about:
Mio and her twin sister Mayu are trapped in a village because they can't step over dead leaves and twigs that block their path. The village is full of ghosts that want to kill them in a ritual sacrifice. You have to lead Mayu around most of the game, Ico-style, and try to prevent ghosts from killing either of you. It's not annoying like an escort mission where the AI keeps getting itself killed.
You fight the ghosts by taking pictures of them. No joke. The closer the deformed, cross-hatched, sometimes bloody ghosts are to you when you snap a picture, the more damage you do. This isn't like RE or SH where it's better to run away from monsters, cuz the ghosts can go through walls and floors and will chase you around until you exorcise them. You also get experience points for taking better pictures that you can use to level up your camera. It's less silly than it sounds.
It's a spooky game that suceeds at what it tries to do: be a fun adventure game with ghosts.
However, the game has one awful flaw: I keep getting stuck in the game because I didn't press A Button in PRECISELY the right place. I end up wondering what I'm supposed to do next until I check GameFAQs and realize that I didn't press A button on EXACTL Y the correct angle of this one table in the room I came to a dead-end in. It's p frustrating. Be sure to ALWAYS be mashing A Button while walking around haunted houses.
The original game is a PS2 game, while the Director's Cut is an Xbox original game. However, it's fully back-wards compatible with the 360, and it hasn't given me a single problem so far. Most other people agree that it's one of the few XBox games you can play on the 360 without a single glitch.
The twins are totally incestuous for each other.
I highly recommend this game if you are better at mashing A Button at every corner of every room than I am.

haha but you know, i didn't have that much trouble with mashing the A button later on in the game once i got the hang of it. my biggest problem in this whole game was hoping for an HLA scene to pop up, but i forgot you can't take snaps during CGI movie mode.
Crimson Butt was a great game, and FATAL FRAME FURY III actually gave me nightmares - 100% truth - and i didn't even bother to finish it.
