Ju-On: The Grudge Review

Remember that movie The Grudge with Sarah Michelle Gellar? Yes? Ok, we're off to a good start. Now, were you aware that that film was actually based on a Japanese horror film called Ju-on: The Grudge? You were?! Awesome. Well, now you can live out all your Grudgey fantasies on the Wii with the aptly titled Ju-on: The Grudge.

Reviewer Jason D'Aprile is here to help you determine if this game is truly a Ju-on or if it's just a Ju-off.

Based on the endless stream of Japanese horror films, the game successfully captures the oppressive atmosphere of the source material. Whether that's a good thing depends wholly on your love of the series, and J-horror movies in general. Like the Ju-on movies, every episode has essentially the same fatal ending. As a result, many gamers won't find the game attractive. However, if creepy, murderous ghosts and their cat-screeching dead sons are your cup of tea, Ju-on holds more appeal.

    @ GameBrahma;

    Did you read Mr. D'Aprile's review? Because if you did, then I don't think you'd be saying that... unless of course you already have the game, in witch case; to each his own, I guess.

    If you want a GOOD Halloween game, may I suggest Silent Hill 2, one of the earlier Resident Evil games, or Eternal Darkness?
