Another flaw I found myself groaning over – though it’s certainly not a setback for the game itself – is that the visuals for Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water are some of the best the Wii U has to offer, but you’ll find yourself looking at the GamePad a majority of the time because of the ghost fights and camera use.Īlternatively, when not engaging with ghosts, you can turn the GamePad into a map to help guide you throughout the levels if you would prefer that over mirroring what’s on the TV. However, there is no option for the Pro Controller, limiting you to the GamePad only. I found myself wanting to switch over to the Wii U Pro Controller at many times despite my liking for the camera elements of the GamePad. The placement of all the inputs make sense, but it’s not exactly intuitive, so players who are accustomed to a certain playstyle may get a little irritated in the beginning while getting familiar with the controls. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of gyro, but it worked so well for Fatal Frame that I ended up leaving it on throughout the entirety of my playthrough.ĭespite the gameplay for this iteration of Fatal Frame being well done, some of the controls will take a bit of getting used to. The camera by default is controlled through the GamePad’s gyro controls, which actually work surprisingly well, but the option to change it to analog sticks only is there for people who would prefer it.
There are different types of film that vary in power and ability, as well as lenses that also aid in quickness of film reloads, multiple shots, stuns and more.įatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water takes advantage of the Wii U’s GamePad by turning it into the Camera Obscure to use while facing ghosts, putting you directly in the middle of the action.
This special camera is called the Camera Obscura and is used to help bring the evil ghosts around you down once and for all. One of the things that has made Fatal Frame so unique since its inception is that unlike any other survival horror games where you’re typically low on ammo or must utilize your surroundings, you’re given a special camera that can see ghosts and help you exorcise them.
