The original Wii U version was a missed opportunity, but the underlying game never seemed worth saving anyway, since it only underlined the fact that the series had peaked more than a decade prior. Although in both cases the difference is negligible. The only really new ideas the game has is three playable characters with slightly different abilities and the fact that the wetter you are (from rain and other sources) the more damage both you and the ghosts take. Since there’s little in the way of real puzzles you’re literally just walking to where the game tells you, taking a picture of something at an odd angle (a ghost or some sort of key object), rinsing and repeating. Project Zero: Maiden Of Black Water – busting makes you feel bad (pic: Koei Tecmo) This PlayStation 5 version does still have the option to use motion controls for aiming but you’re better off just opting for normal analogue controls. Except trying to integrate the Wii U GamePad into the action never worked properly and the awkward motion controls just made playing the game frustratingly fiddly. As is their want, the ghosts love to appear just when you least expect them, and the game borrows every horror movie trick it can think of as candles flicker in a non-existent wind and ghostly hands suddenly grab at you from nowhere.Īlthough there was, bafflingly, never a Pokémon Snap for the Wii U, in this instance Nintendo realised that a game where you walk around with a camera held up in front of your face was too good an opportunity to miss. Using it switches the game to a first person view, but as silly as the concept sounds the practise of slowly sweeping the area for phantoms can be genuinely terrifying. In lieu of any traditional weapons your only form of defence is a Camera Obscura, a magic camera which can be used to search for and exorcise ghosts.

This time the story is based around a fictionalised version of the real-life Suicide Forest, but despite the serious subject matter the plot is very thinly written and the script and voice-acting is nowhere near good enough to compensate. Although the details always vary the games invariably involve two young twins stumbling across a cursed village in rural Japan. Project Zero has always been heavily influenced by the late ’90s Japanese horror scene, in particular The Ring and Ju-On, which means lots of long-haired ghosts and a strong whiff of old hat.
