this game looks pretty good. if it is anything like resident evil 4, i am sure i will like it.
could someone tell me what the game is about?

do you mean the plot?

this is from Neoseeker's front Fatal Frame 4 page:

quote

Created by Tecmo and Grasshopper (Suda 51), Fatal Frame IV is the fourth installment in one of the most popular survival-horror series.

Ten years ago, five girls were abducted and held hostage at a supposedly haunted mansion on Rougetsu Island. Detective Choushiro Kirishima stumbled upon the girls while investigating a string of murders that had happened on the island, and rescued them. Mysteriously, none of the girls could remember the events of their kidnapping.

Years after the incident, two of the girls (Marie Shinomiya and Tomoe Nanamura) were found dead in their homes with terrified expressions on their faces. The reason for their deaths were unknown.

The three girls who survived (Ruka, Misaki and Madoka) set out to Rougetsu Island in an attempt to unravel the mystery of their friend's deaths and remember what happened on the night of their kidnapping.

Choushirou Kirishima, who had since retired as a detective, also headed off to the island to retrieve the girls before anything terrible happened to them again, though what he finds there will haunt him forever ...

The Gametrailers Preview vid deserves some embedding. XD

It does a good job of detailing the plot, gameplay, characters, etc...

Hey this game does look like resident evil 4 so I think I might buy it. Have any release dates been announced yet?

Unfortunately there is no American release date yet. However the game was just released in Japan, so we can look forward to an American release later this year or early next year.
