The Nunchuk's analogue stick smoothly moves the lead around, with a quick shake of the Wii Remote to spin her 180 degrees to about face swiftly, and the majority of the adventure is spent carefully scouring the surroundings, with eerie music setting the ambience firmly to 'high tension' and a whole slew of creepy sound effects and plenty of loud thumps and bangs at key moments to up the ante on the scare front. The intense core concept remains, but this is without doubt worthy of standing apart from its original release, rather than being labelled as a mere port-up.įor the most part, players are in control of the younger sister, Mio, slowly pacing around abandoned buildings and outdoor locations (increasing to a gentle 'trot' when holding the run button). Whilst Project Zero 2: Wii Edition is a reboot of Crimson Butterfly from the PlayStation 2 (and later Xbox, in a 'Director's Cut' format a year later), there has been plenty of tinkering to the format, tightening up of the gameplay, sprucing up of visuals, brand new CGI cut-scenes added, and an entirely new set of voices brought to the table.

Starting the adventure off may prove to be quite frustrating since everything is too dark and dusky, but persevering past that initial 10-15 minutes brings about the acquisition of a handy torch, which is manipulated using the motion controls of the Wii Remote for casting light around, penetrating the perpetual plague of blackness and making for a gruesome adventure thanks to the continual fear of something other-worldly leaping out of the shadows. Whilst sounding contrived, the village curse backdrop proves to be a gripping enough yarn to keep players on the edge of their seats as they try to unravel the mystery, fathom what the strange matching stones dotted around mean, figure out if the crimson butterflies leading the girls all over are good or evil, and ultimately help Mio and Mayu escape from the clutches of the darkness they accidentally stumbled into. Being drawn deeper and deeper into the darkness, the eldest, Mayu, starts to become possessed and the fate of twins previously embroiled in the 'shadow ritual' of years gone by starts to be inflicted upon the Amakura sisters. On top of this, as it happens twins are perfect for use as a sacrifice by the restless souls trapped in this village.

Project Zero 2: Wii Edition focuses on twin sisters, Mio and Mayu Amakura, who are wandering around and somehow find themselves lost in the mysterious village of Minakami that does not appear on maps and is shrouded in an endless mist.
