Did you know that the first Fatal Frame was based on a true story about a photographer being lost in a deserted village?
The "Based on a true story" part was added only to the American release of Fatal Frame 1. None of the developers knew it was going to be added.
Besides, Fatal Frame
2 took place in a deserted village, not Fatal Frame 1.
Anyway, I've played 1 and 2 through a few times but I'm still not done with 3. I stopped playing it two years ago because I couldn't find any blue flame anywhere at all despite looking literally everywhere were I was able to go, so I made the character wake up and I never decided to test my luck by trying to go back again. (anyone who's played that game to a certain point knows what I'm talking about) Guess I should pick the game up again. I'll probably start a new game though.
I have to say the series is really scary, at least for the first time. Once you've played any of the games through once, playing the same game again loses its shine because you already know what to expect and you know all the tricks and how to efficiently fight. Also, there's absolutely no character development in any of the games. Most of the characters feel kinda blanc. I have no idea how the controls work in 4 and 2's Wii-version, but all the others also have really bad controls. What's good though is that they really do give you the creeps, if at least during the first playthrough, the storylines are cool and nicely disturbed (they're one of the reasons why I'm not too fond of religion) and the graphics are great.

Fatal Frame is called Rei/Zero in Japan and Project Zero in Europe and Australia.
I kinda like the name Project Zero, it's def not as corny as some Fatal Frame, haha.
