You'll need to get up close and personal with the ghosts as the closer you are to them, the more 'damage' you deal out to them. To get a better score, you need to use less shots against ghost and take bigger risks.
MIO FATAL FRAME 2 UPGRADE
Players are also scored on their performance against ghosts, which gives you points you can use to upgrade your camera and, after you've completed the game at least once, unlock goodies. You have to be careful with your photo taking though, as you only have limited amount of film, and the more powerful types of film (indicated by the number on the film, for example, 40-type film is stronger than 14-type film) are harder to come by. When their health reaches zero, their soul is sealed away and they disappear from this realm. By taking a photo of them, it 'damages' the ghost. With it, you can take photos of not only your surroundings, but the ghost themselves.
MIO FATAL FRAME 2 FULL
The camera obscura is special, full of spiritual power that has a strange effect on other spiritual entities. But most importantly, in your possession you have the camera obscura. You can also tinker with a special radio that you have, which can read the messages special spiritual stones hold that are linked to the ghosts that inhabit the village. These side-quests, while optional, often provide rewards or extra challenge, ranging from putting to rest the souls of restless spirits, partaking in hidden sub-objectives, or simply filling out your ghost log. While exploring the lost village, you may stumble upon one of the game's several side-quests. These are stored in your inventory so you can read them later, and often provide you with an array of valuable information. Throughout the game you pick up files, which fill you in on the back-story of the characters and the village itself. You can examine your surroundings, find items (both important for survival and for progression), solve a good number puzzles scattered around the game world, save at special oriental lanterns, and wander around atmospheric and terrifying locations full of dark secrets and under the threat of being attacked at any time. Our heroine is very slow, even while running, with limited health, and there's only so many items laying around one can make use of.
While exploring the village, the game takes on the familiar mechanics of a survival-horror game. These segments are a player-controlled action, as the player can either accelerate the action or back out of it at the sign of danger. During gameplay, you can interact with various objects in the environment, in which the camera will dramatically follows her actions (such as lifting a cloth covering a mirror, peeping through a grate, or picking up an item). The camera follows closely behind Mio as she explores the village, keeping her in the center of the action.
The game uses the mechanics and engine of Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, as opposed to the static camera angles and tank-esque controls of the original game. The narrative, while following the original game's, includes a reworked script that is closer to the original Japanese version, and includes new & redone cutscenes and additional story to unveil, new story chapters, along with new endings to unlock. Wielding the camera obscura found inside one of the many homes here, she must capture and seal away the spirits that haunt here as she makes way for her and her sister to escape this nightmarish place. It's up to Mio to solve the curse of the lost village and rescue her sister, who seems to become odder and odder with each passing moment, as if in a trance. While it seems abandoned, the twins soon realize that the tortured souls of the dead roam this place, trapped here after something went wrong with a ritual that was performed here in the past. Concerned, Mio chases after her sister when, with a sudden's notice, the sky drapes itself in night and the two sisters find themselves in a strange village shrouded by fog. Mio reflects on this place and their history here as children, whilst Mayu's attention is diverted when a strange red butterfly appears, which Mayu follows deep into the woods. Twin sisters, Mio and Mayu Amakura, are visiting the spot where they used to play as children, which is due to be cleared out for a dam soon.
