Ju-on: The Grudge

Let me begin by pointing out the BIGGEST flaw of this game, the controls. The controls are extremely horrible due to the fact that this game only takes advantage of the Wii remote instead of the remote AND the nun-chuck. Looking around is the worst and strangely I was able to look around better if I was moving. For example, at one point I was in a room and attempting to look around for I don't remember what reason, but the camera continually turned in a random direction. So I found out that if I steady the camera in the center of the screen (which was tedious in itself) and then backed up and moved forward gradually turning to the direction I wanted to look it either worked or at least gave me a look of what I wanted to look at. Also, I noticed getting closer to your TV very greatly makes the camera controls worse so if you are closer, you are just making it harder on yourself. The parts where you have to move the Wii remote in the direction arrows on the screen indicate can be very frustrating and it may seem like the game is deciding itself whether you are right or not. For example, I was at a part where I had to run from the girl, Kayako, and the game gave me a series that was something like left, right, right, up, up, down, etc. but anyways it was very easy on paper but it took me at least 4 tries to pass that part (each time starting from the very beginning of the level). Although, there was another sequence like that which was literally just a cluster you know what of arrows in all directions, but I passed that on the first try. I didn't even finish the last level (the cursed house) due to the fact that I attempted literally about 20 times on the first arrow sequence of that level.<br /><br /> The good parts of this game, there are great scares throughout the game that (and this is recommend) if you play with a friend will keep you laughing at your spooks. Two player is also very entertaining. This game is worth renting and playing through in one night

For me, JuOn: The Grudge has to be the most dissapointing game this year. <br />I really liked the presentation; you are stuck in a darkened place (hospital, apartments, factory) and are armed with a flashlight. You wave the flashlight about with the Wiimote to uncover the path out of the nightmare. You press the B button to go in that direction. (It would've been easier to utitlize the thumbstick to move about, but that was only a small problem to me). <br />But there's a limited amount of power in each battery that powers your flashlight (next time, get the good batteries), so you have to search and find other batteries and keys (they're easy to find; just look for a glimmer and you found it.) <br />Along the way, a creepy boy and a creepy girl try to scare you to death. In some areas of each level, you engage the girl in combat to get away from her. <br />During the combat phase, one of two things happen. First, arrows will appear on screen and you have to wave the Wiimote in those directions. <br />Or, a circle appears, then moves about the screen. you have to keep a set of crosshairs inside the circle at all times. <br />If you are successful,you will escape the wrath of that girl. <br />Keep on going through the level (unlocking doors along the way), and you will get to the end of the level. But the levels end far too soon (less than thirty minutes a level), and there's only five levels in the game. <br />Making matters worse is the fifth level is locked and can only be accessed by finding torn up pieces of paper in the other four levels. Most players (including myself) will give up far before we find all those scraps of paper. <br />I'm really frustrated. This game has some really nice scares in it, and it's very immersive, but the lacking content has me asking &quot;Is that it?&quot; <br />Here's hoping a sequel will have more levels in it; Ju-On: The Grudge is just too short to give a lasting scare. SKIP IT.

The controls are absoulty atrotricuous and there some interesting features a courage meter and all this game has terrible controls and just rushed.

This game was extremely boring. It's not survival horror, it's haunted house simulator. You have to search for spare batteries so your flashlight doesn't die on you. That's basically the whole thing. Me and my friend couldn't even make fun of the game it was that boring. I returned it after trying to play for 20 or so minuets in the hopes that it would get better. It didn't. The scares are like those Youtube videos where you're distracted by the video and then the creature jumps at you. Except much more boring.<br />The controls are also very frustrating. The character walks unbelievably slow and has no run option. Sometimes turning the wiimote will just barely turn the character and other times they will spin so much you can't remember which direction you were facing.<br />If I could rate this game lower than one, I would. I see no good points to it. Don't waste your time.

In Juon: The Grudge it is VERY hard to find out what to do, where to go, and where to find batteries. The lighting in the game is a large issue. If you have and HD TV I would suggest you crank the brightness. With the gameplay, the controls were VERY unstable, the scary parts weren't that scare, but they had there moments, and the chapters were nearly endless. But, I honestly had fun playing through it with friends. So, if you want a cheap scare this is the game for you.

While playing this game, yes it scared me, alot. But the controls are horrible, you can't control were you are going most of the time, and the slow walking and not able to run just drags out more of the, " I wish they would just kill me.

dont get this just watch the movie

Personally I think that this game sucks a little because its not as good as the movie. A piece of poo is more interesting then this game.
