|genre=Survival horror |modes=Single-player }} , known in Europe as ''Project Zero II: Crimson Butterfly'', is a Japanese survival horror video game developed and originally published by Tecmo in 2003 for the PlayStation 2. It is the second installment in the ''Fatal Frame'' series, although not a direct sequel to the first title, ''Fatal Frame''. The story follows twin sisters Mio and Mayu as they explore an abandoned village and experience encounters with the paranormal. Players must use the Camera Obscura to defeat ghosts and uncover the secrets of the village. Upon release, ''Crimson Butterfly'' received positive reviews, and is widely considered to be among the scariest video games ever created.〔〔〔〔〔 An Xbox port, subtitled ''Director's Cut'', was released in 2004 and included additional features. The game has also been re-released on the PlayStation 3 via PSN in 2013, and a remake of the game titled ''Project Zero 2: Wii Edition'' was released for the Wii in 2012 in Europe and Japan. ==Gameplay== The gameplay in ''Fatal Frame II'' experienced some changes from its predecessor. For most of the game, the player controls the protagonist Mio Amakura as she searches the Lost Village for (and sometimes, ''with'') her twin sister, Mayu. Shortly into the game, Mio will obtain a flashlight, which can be aimed in different directions, although the flashlight will not work in all areas.〔 Throughout the game, Mio will explore the village and its central buildings, finding various objects and solving puzzles in order to advance.〔 The ghosts will often provide some backstory or hints to help Mio progress.〔 Mio will encounter a variety of ghosts, each with different attack methods. Mio's only weapon is the "Camera Obscura", an antique camera that has the ability to “take pictures of impossible things”. The Camera has two purposes within the game: both as a weapon and as a means of documentation. The camera uses a Ghost Filament which is located in the bottom right corner of the screen when the camera viewfinder is closed, and on the top of the screen when the viewfinder is open. This indicator will glow red in the presence of a hostile ghost and glow blue when a benign ghost is nearby. The intensity of the glow in relation to the direction Mio is facing serves as a sign of both the spirit’s location and proximity to Mio. During combat, when Mio is looking through the camera, her health bar is visible on the right side of the screen (it is also visible in the game's menu screen when paused). As with most games, if Mio's health runs out, the game will end; the player can replenish Mio’s health using different healing items scattered throughout the game, including ‘herbal medicine’ and ‘sacred water’. The ‘stone mirror’. another item found within this game, will revive Mio from death once (the player can only hold one at a time).〔 The camera uses different types of film as "ammunition", with the weakest type (Type-07) being unlimited. The strength of the film types increases with their number: Type-14, Type-61, and Type-90. The strongest film type, Type-Zero, debuted in this game and despite its strength, has the slowest loading time.〔 The player can upgrade the Camera's special functions and lenses using the ‘Spirit Orbs’ found throughout the game and the points earned from photographing ghosts. The points are based upon the difficulty of the shot and the level of film used; the stronger the film and the closer the spirit is to Mio, the more points the player will receive.〔 ’Shutter Chances’ occur at different moments during combat, most commonly right before a spirit attacks Mio. When a ‘Shutter Chance’ occurs, the capture circle will glow. If the player upgrades their camera equipment, they can make ‘Shutter Chances’ easier to identify. Outside of combat, the player has the opportunity to capture fleeting photographs of nonviolent spirits as they move through the environment. These photos will also yield points for the player, if they manage to capture them in time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
