Narm is for specific moments only, "this character looks like someone I think looks funny" is too general.


* {{Narm}}:
** While he does add to the tension, as he can show up from out of nowhere, Bobby himself seriously looks like [[Music/{{ACDC}} Angus Young.]] Once you see it, he becomes a lot less frightening.
** One of Jennifer’s deaths involving her getting choked to death by a hand in a mirror… Then after spinning around, it pushes her on the back, sending her to the floor as if she really needed that push… Not helping is that the hand [[SpecialEffectsFailure disappears mid-choke then pops back in.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ScrappyMechanic: The fact that the game actively punishes running, even while not being chased by Bobby, by raising the panic meter, as Jennifer's walking speed is excruciatingly slow.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: The crows may seem a bit too convenient, saving Jennifer at the last moment. Turns out [[http://arstechnica.com/science/2012/09/bird-brains-crows-remember-your-face-and-know-youre-hiding-in-there/ crows can recognize faces]] and [[http://www.omg-facts.com/Celebs/Crows-Recognize-Individual-Human-Faces-A/23900 hold grudges]].[[note]] Their presence is a nod to ''Film/{{Opera|1987}}'', though there they were ravens rather than crows.[[/note]]

* FirstInstallmentWins: Easily the most popular and well-regarded entry in the series. The sequels, on the other hand, are far more [[ContestedSequel divisive]] due to their changes in gameplay and narrative.

Added an example.

Added DiffLines:

* SpecialEffectFailure: The bathroom in the SNES original has a fog effect that improves the atmosphere and utilizes Mode 7 well. The [=PS1=] version changes that to a large background image that flips back and forth, not looking plausible in the slightest.

* ParodyDisplacement: Most fans would associate the track "Don't Cry Jennifer" with [[WebAnimation/LumpyTouch Lumpy Touch's]] "Garfield Gameboy'd" due to how that track is heavily used.

* WhatAnIdiot: So, Jennifer, if you can push over [[TheHeavy Bobby]] so easily, why don't you even attempt to take his scissors away from him?

During the same scene where Anne is drowning, after she goes underwater, Bobby jumps out of the pool from where Anne was. It's implied that he was literally holding Anne down to drown her. Jennifer couldn't have done saved Anne even if she tried, lest she risk getting herself killed as well.


* WhatAnIdiot: So, Jennifer, if you can push over [[TheHeavy Bobby]] so easily, why don't you even attempt to take his scissors away from him? And then there's the HollywoodDrowning death with Anne, where Jennifer doesn't even try to help Anne.

* {{Narm}}: While he does add to the tension of the first game being as he can show up from out of nowhere, Bobby himself seriously looks like [[Music/{{ACDC}} Angus Young.]] Once you see it, he becomes a lot less frightening.
* NightmareRetardant: In the first game, the ScareChord that plays when something scary happens can make some events over-dramatic and ridiculous. Also some of the ways Bobby can spawn, such as falling on the keys of a piano, can be pretty silly.
* TheScrappy: Anne from the first game gets flak from fans because one of her four lines has her teasing [[EnsembleDarkhorse Lotte's]] nervousness shortly after arriving in the mansion.
* ViewerGenderConfusion: Players sometimes confuse Lotte from the first game as a boy. Her walking sprite does depict her with a large chest, but it's easy to miss the scene where she does move at all.
