• The Electric Playground - "Through careful scripting, disturbing audio-visual tricks, solid gameplay and a judicious use of cinematics, Fatal Frame manages to convey the disarming sense of feeling one's sanity crumble under the assault of otherworldly influences...At least, that's what the Voices told me to say." Reviewed by Chris Hudak with screen shots with score [9/10].
• GamePro - "Discovering hidden ghosts and piecing together the mystery of the mansion are almost fun enough to excuse the lame combat controls, but not quite." Review by D-Pad Destroyer with scores.
• GameSpot - Information on Xbox version, including cheat codes, movies, screen shots, news, and review.

• Snackbar Games - Review by Snowcone. "I have to say that I was immensely impressed with Fatal Frame as a whole." (May 28, 2003)
• GameDaily - "I thoroughly enjoyed Fatal Frame. It has a few minor issues but its such a fresh change of pace that I easily overlooked them and enjoyed the game for what it is: a spooky and terrifying edge of your seat nail biter that was meant to be played in complete darkness with the stereo at its maximum volume." Review by Chris Buffa with score [7/10]. [Xbox] (February 20, 2003)
• GameSpy - Review of Xbox version by Raina Lee. Score: 4/5 (October 31, 2002)
• GameSpy - PlayStation 2 version reviewed by Robert Workman. Score: 80/100 (March 31, 2002)
• GameSpot - "You'll honestly find some sequences rather creepy...As far as horror-themed games go, Fatal Frame is one of the most interesting--in regard to its premise and the way it plays--to surface in a while." Review by Miguel Lopez with screen shots and overall score [7.1/10]. [PlayStation 2] (March 8, 2002)
• GameZone - "I am happy to report that after many hours of lost sleep, hearing things that weren't really there, and near fatal heart attacks it definitely is not only the most terrifying game experience I have ever had, but one of the more solid ones I have had as well." Reviewed by Tha Wiz with overall score [9/10]. (March 8, 2002)
• G4TechTV - "One of those rare titles that benefit from being played loud. All the background noise (or lack thereof) will play with your mind to the point that you'll be taking frequent breaks to collect yourself." Review by Miguel Concepcion with score [4/5] and screen shots. (March 8, 2002)
• ign.com - "Quite an inventive piece of survival horror, managing to keep the fright up and the frustration down with a few smart design decisions and an abundance of creepy style." Reviewed by David Smith with overall score [7.9/10]. (March 5, 2002)
• Game Industry News - Reviewed by John Breeden, score: 5 out of 5. (2002)
