I enjoyed the game, and felt the horror was a good level for my kids. I did love the use of the wiimote speaker... but I agree with the critics about the controls. I HATED the controls. Pointing to the edges of the screen to turn was awful, especially when you have an analog stick right there on the nunchuck! 1:57 I do love the premise of the curse blackpage. I didn't fully understand the parameters of the curse, but it was fun none the less. 3:00 Chin's character is ok... but felt rushed. 3:39 I didn't fully understand Makoto's motives, so it was good to hear your recap 5:49 I didn't like that the game just restarted and I had no idea replaying it would give you another ending until you told me back when I played it. They needed some sort of end screen text or something to entice you to play it again. 7:30 creepy dead students are a trope I don't mind. It's good fodder for creep-factor 8:43 yeah, it wasn't too hard. I didn't mind that though 9:11 I was lucky, because I was playing with my kids, and between all our memories we knew the numbers pretty easily 9:56 I did find this pretty creepy. Dolls aren't as freaky to me as mannequins, but it is a similar vibe 10:29 yeah, fair critique. The voice acting was pretty rough 11:08 I don't remember where, but I got stuck for quite a while missing 1 object. But that was the only one we got stuck on. 12:53 I think 6.5 is fair. People ragged on it too much... BUT, I can't agree with 13:08. The controls were hot garbage, lol. But I think the plot, the ambiance, and also just the interesting time-capsule feel of a glimpse into peak 2009 makes it well worth playing.
I think it is funny that you and I disagree so much on the controls. After playing through Red Steel, I played this, and the controls for Red Steel were... not user friendly to put it lightly lol so when I played this, the controls were amazing and fluid. Creepy pasta is a fun thing to get lost in. As a kid, I would totally browse those sites. Yeah, I felt like Chin's character was a dud. Makoto doesn't give AF about the ghosts haha. I agree, they should have let the player know that a second playthrough is required to make them want to replay it. Lucky! That phone segment for me was tough, I had to play that portion a few times. That voice acting was comical at some points. Thanks for watching, I enjoyed this game and it's cool that you have played it too!
This game looks look a really neat experience on the Wii, and it's a shame critics bashed it back in the day. This definitely looks like an absolute hidden gem for the console, and one I want to add to my Wii collection now! Great review man!
I really thought the motion controls were clever. It was fun talking to the ghosts through the phone. Glad you enjoyed the review, thanks for checking it out!
Nice review! I had never heard of that game before, but after watching your review, I think that it looks decent! At least it's not shovelware! The story seems pretty dark and depressing, though, lol! I'm not a huge horror guy, but I would get it if I found it for cheap! Great video and keep up the good work!
I played it and wasn't as high on it. I think it's a classic case of a below average to average game where genre fans should bump the grade up a bit, and Japanese horror fans even more. People who are adverse to horror or first-person games should bump it down. It has a great concept, but actually playing it wasn't much fun for me. 6.5 seems pretty fair overall.

Awesome review. Never heard of this game before.
Thanks for watching! Calling goes under the radar quite a bit but I enjoyed it.

The story is a bit depressing, especially the old woman. I liked this game overall, and it took me by surprise. Thanks for watching!!
Awesome review Seth!😊
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Finally, a critic worth listening to
Hey thank you! This was a pretty enjoyable game. Thanks for watching.
If I listened to critics I wouldn't have any video games in my collection. I still remember how much critics bashed 'Luigi's Mansion'.
I never knew they bashed Luigi's Mansion. That's a shame because that game is awesome too. Thanks for watching.
I’ve been looking to add more Wii games to my collection
You should try and add this one! Thanks for watching.
Damn this is so a freaking scary game, another Wii game that is also scary it's the Grudge game, and it's so scary that many people give up play
I'll have to check out the Grudge game! I would love to try it out.
This game looks interesting, it'd be fun to watch you play it like until dawn!
I'd rather watch you play it!

Glad you enjoyed the review and have experience with this game. Thanks for watching!
I remember watching pewdiepie playing this gem❤ those were the days
Wow, I didn't know he ever played it. That's cool! Thanks for watching.
Deleted my comment because RUclips censored me
They will do that to you lol. Thanks for watching.
