Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented is a haunting Japanese style horror game where nightmares become reality. A young woman named Rei is having twisted nightmares. These dark dreams take her to the "House of Sleep", where she encounters hideously tortured souls who are being overtaken by a curse. Meanwhile, a deadly tattoo and deadllier secrets of life and death are waiting to destory her, unless she is quick enough to stop it. But Rei's dreams is only the beginning of the nightmare, making Fatal Frame III: The Tormented the most terrifying virtual experience to date.

fatal frame 3 gameJan 27, 2010 this game spooks my daughter that is 16 years old lol but she loves it so very much and was very happy how well it was taken care of and how fast they got the game to her
Loved It!!Sep 11, 2009 I wasn't sure what to expect from this game except good graphics and the same excellent, depressing story line, and the game delivered. Not only did this game combine aspects of the first two's stories, I recognized scenes and areas from the games as well and it creates a neat creepy atmosphere for gamers returning to the series a third time. I gave the game 4 stars because there were a few loose ends in the story, but it was a much more complete game than the second one; gameplay is great. An amazing addition to an already amazing series: can't wait for more:)
Fatal Frame IIIAug 23, 2009 Another survival Horror game with every step of imaginable horrors to unfold
Very challenging and suspensful.Great Game
Don't go in there!Jun 09, 2009 Fatal Frame III (Project Zero III) is the scariest of the 3 games so far (Fatal Frame IV has yet to be released to the states). It's also a lot more bloody and violet, so anybody with a weak stomach, you are warned and don't play in the dark. I love Fatal FrameIII because it brings back old characters and allows you to go back into the previous games, plus you have more outfits to chose from, and 3 characters instead of the usual 1. Items are easier to unlock. Instead of having to beat the game multiple times, you use your camera points. Anybody who has played the Fatal Frame games before would love this one and even first time players would since the story line is easy to follow.

Third Time's the Charm?Feb 02, 2009 If you have nightmares about being lost in a dark, labyrinthine house with no way out, Fatal Frame 3 is not the game for you. But if you're a survival horror junkie and/or a fan of the first two Fatal Frame games, you'll probably eat this one right up. Functioning as both a direct sequel and a stand-alone story, FF3 has so much crammed into it that it sometimes feels cluttered, but it provides a vivid, creepy, and engaging experience nonetheless.
The Manor, of course, is bursting with ghosts of all kinds, some pitiable, some malicious. As before, your weapon is the Camera Obscura, a device that damages ghosts by taking photos of them. The camera-based combat and upgrade system have been streamlined over the course of the trilogy and work great when the ghosts don't cheat, which they often do. The Manor itself is massive, much bigger than Himura Mansion in the first game, and exploring it gets tedious and disorienting at times; you'll be hard-pressed to remember which lock goes with the key you just found, or what room appears in which photo. Of course, since this is nightmare logic, the dizzying size and bizarre layout of the Manor may be totally appropriate. Rei soon finds she's not alone -- other guilt-stricken dreamers are being drawn into the manor (sometimes forever), including Rei's assistant, Miku Hinasaki, the heroine of FF1. And providing the link to FF2 is Kei Amakura, another journalist (and a man, eeek!) who's the uncle of...well, you'll see. Certain chapters of the game require you to play as Miku or Kei, both of whom have various strengths, weaknesses, and special abilities. The game designers sneak portions of FF1 and FF2 environments into the Manor of Sleep, and it truly feels like everything in all the games is being tied together.
The plot is a jumbled mishmash of obscure people, horrible events, and arcane rituals that barely stays coherent. However, part of the fun is piecing together a narrative from all the old diaries, moldy tomes, newspaper clippings, cassette tapes, cryptic photos, video reels, and miscellaneous scraps you accumulate. I had fun with it, at least, and I love how every ghost has a backstory. The graphics and sound design are as effective as ever, immersing you in this creepy world. (Play with the lights off!) As the plot progresses, the three protagonists chase their personal demons, and the dream world starts to impinge upon the waking world, the game becomes very creepy indeed, and also very challenging. The feeling of dread and helpless frustration can get you down, but in the survival horror genre, it's a good thing. These games are meant to scare, and what's scarier than a nightmare where you can't wake up, you're lost and alone, angry phantoms are oozing from the walls, and you're almost out of film? Fatal Frame 3 provides a worthy end(?) to the series and survival horror fans would do well not to miss it.
