The Grudge game for Wii this Halloween News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Wii

Don't go down to the Gellar.

Rising Star has told Eurogamer that spooky Wii game Ju-On: The Grudge will arrive here this Halloween, witch is in October.

As the name suggests, Ju-On: The Grudge is based on the scary Japanese film The Grudge, created by Takashi Shimizu. You might have seen the Hollywood remake that stars Sarah "Buffy" Michelle Gellar.

Shimizu will be a creative consultant and help players become the Yamada family, who must individually face a grudge curse accidentally placed upon them by their daughter who was exposed after a visit to an abandoned warehouse.

As if creeping around dark and bloody environments with freaky girls popping up in-front of your face isn't bad enough, developer feelplus will let friends grab a second Wiimote and push buttons to trigger in-game scares. The films - both Hollywood and original - are pretty scary.

For an idea of the effect the game has, check out The Grudge teaser trailer on Eurogamer TV.

Isn't Takashi Shimizu also working on Feel for the Wii?
I wonder which one will be better/scarier?

"Isn't Takashi Shimizu also working on Feel for the Wii?"

It's the same game. "Feel" is a game based on Ju-On/ The Grudge.

I like Rising Star. They seem to publish the titles I really look forward to that don't necessarily look like they would get an European release otherwise.

One of the few hollywood remakes that I thought actually came out a little better than the original - mainly because it used the same director and many of the orginal actors from the jap original. it just improved a bit on the pace and special effects.

Not sure about a game tho' - can't see it working.

I thought the original Ju-On was properly scary.
Haven't seen the 'gellar' remake though. Funny subheading though.

This is actually coming out over here, is it? Not going to bottle it like Nintendo did with Fatal Frame 4?
