Started playing the Wii version. Immediately I noticed a huge improvement in graphics over the first game... Instead of taking place in a huge mansion, this game takes place in a mysterious village...
The twins Mio and Mayu are hanging out in the woods somewhere, when suddenly Mayu (the one with a slightly broken leg) gets lured somewhere by red butterflies... Mio follows her and they come to a village with some kind of ritual stuff going on...
The first chapter has Mayu following you around as you go into one of the houses and find the Camera Obscura, and then get locked in while battling ghosts...
At the 2nd chapter Mayu gets lured away again by red butterflies... and some creepy female ghost character takes her in... Mayu isn't even listening to her sister anymore, it's like she's brainwashed... Mio goes around trying to find a way to get to her sister who is now on the other side of a locked gate... There's a male character trapped in a storehouse who calls out to Mio through the window, and calls Mio "Yae", and says you have to find "Sae" and get both of you out of here, before you two face the same fate he did...
Explored the entire outdoor part of the village... all the other houses were locked.. and found the key needed to get to where Mayu is... There's some multi-ghost battles here already, but these ghosts move very slow and it's very easy to get full charged shots on multiple of them, definitely a lot easier than the first game.
Although, I dunno about the controls for this Wii version. It's not like I thought... The camera view is controlled by tilting the wiimote, making it nearly impossible to stay steady. It's taking a bit to get used to. I also really don't like the whole "touch event" thing in the Wii version, where every item and inspection requires a slightly long and not very interesting bit of gameplay where you might get caught by a ghost hand while you're inspecting or picking up stuff.. I would prefer just inspecting/picking up stuff instantly so I can get on with the rest of the game...
I was able to defeat the first boss ghost pretty easily... Sometimes she comes up through the bridge you're on and you don't get the chance to shoot her...
oh yeah and there's a "haunted house mode" which I'm guessing is sorta the same as mission mode from the first game... I'm focusing on doing story mode on normal for now.
