Brazil's scans and translation!

Okay, folks... We now have a amazing new article from Brazil! The follow scans and information can be spoilerlish!

The newest episode of the most frightening series of terror of PS2
No machine guns, bazucas or powerful weapons. Nothing of trained heroes which know what to know to solve everything. Nothing of deformed, big and terrible monsters. Only ghosts, a spooky atmosphere and, for your defence, a photographic camera. This is the world of Fatal Frame III: The Tormented.
Games of terror aren’t innovations in the world of games. Halloween, for Atari, and Clock Tower, for SNES, marked the beggining of the genre, but it was the 3D of PlayStation that made the genre well-known, with Resident Evil. Just in that moment was possible to bring the style of theater for the TV, which made the videogames full of skilled heroes and well armed, like in the american style, facing monsters more terrible each time.
This is where Fatal Frame detachs itself. Following the Japanese-terror style, the game, since its first episode, ignores the tradicional knows-everything hero and is about normal people, haunted by ghosts and supernatural entities, that make a psycological atmosphere much tenser, without liters of blood or horrible creatures.

Fatal Frame III tells the story of Rei Kurosawa, a 23-year old woman that, after her boyfriend’s death, begins to have constant nightmares with a sinister mansion. The worst thing is that whenever Rei has the dreams, an unkwon tattoo spreads itself more and more through her body without explication. The Camera Obscura, photographich machine able to exorcie ghosts, is back, and while the protagonist uses it to keeps herself alive from the ghosts, Kei Amakura, a young journalist, and Miku, the heroine of the first Fatal Frame, have to help her to solve the mistery of this Mansion of Dreams.[Is real called: House of Sleep]
In the visual part, the game stands out with animations in well done CG and a visual for the characters that is in the limit of PS2. The atmosphere of terror is completed with the sound and the camera angles of a movie, with black-and-white screens, flashs, distortions and all the visual effects that characterize the good moveis of Japanese horror.
But, negative points, still exist and, like the ghosts of ancestors, the problems wchich haunt Fatal Frame III are the same of the previous versions. The long pauses for loading in each door you open and the imprecise gameplay confuse mainly when fighiting against the ghosts. But these flaws are insignificant when compared to the quality of the game; so, follow the following walkthrough and prepare yourself, because your life once again will depend on the Camera Obscura.

HAUNTED WALKTHROUGH
To gain more points and make your Camera Obscura gets better, this walkthrough tells every location of every ghost as you progress. Because of this, whenever the text warns you about the presence of a ghosts near whatever place you are, try to take a photo of it.
CAMERA OBSCURA
The function of the Camera Obscura is to exorcise the ghosts and register spiritual energy. To increase its velocity, power of damage or another caracteristics, you must find uprades or buy them with points that you gain when defeating spirits.
-After being hit by ghosts, you lose spiritual energy. Recover it using herbal medicines, sacred waters or stone mirrors.
After investigating the mansion which her boyfriend, Yuu, visited before his death, Rei Kurosawa was touched by a malign spirit and now the spooky tattoo spreads itself through herself after each nightmare.
Many thanks to Yuna Amakura for the scans and the translation of the scan!
