Got my Limited Edition in the mail today. Lovely poster, steel case and art book, and the spirit photos were neat too, I suppose.
Played through the first two chapters, the tutorial, and I like it so far. These two missions weren't exactly ideal in terms of horror because of the constant interruptions by how-to-play info, but the second one still managed to scare me a bit. Ghosts, man. They freak me out.
Just like with Project Zero 2: Wii Edition, I adore the visual designs, I find the sounds to be pretty effective, the voice acting is good, and I think they build up some pretty sweet atmosphere overall, so I think it's all quite promising going forward. I really like using the GamePad as a real life Camera Obscura, but I need to see more than the one tutorial style battle I got before I decide if those mechanics are as good as what we got in the last game (and frankly, that's a lot to live up to IMO), and the general movement during exploration had somehow turned even clunkier than in the Wii game. I've upped the sensitivity a lot, and things seem to have improved, but something about it is still a tad off.
Too tired to keep going tonight, but I can't wait to shut off the lights and put on my headphones tomorrow evening! It's been a while since I got a proper scare!
