When Tecmo's Fatal Frame debuted on PS2 earlier in 2002, it was recognized as an innovative twist on the survival horror genre with it's "Pokemon Snap meets Resident Evil" gameplay. Now that it's made its way to Xbox, Fatal Frame seems even scarier with even sharper visuals and frighteningly clear sound effects that make Himuro Mansion the game's most compelling character. However, the wispy, transparent ghosts and their chilling howls can't make up for the fact that this game was widely available, on other console, seven months ago.
