Don't look at me. I have all 3 and while I love the story idea and the creepy atmosphere I spend most of my time flailing around trying to point the camera and then dying. LOL

Go for two. One is kind of a continuation from three. Fatal Frame II is at least can be played as a stand alone title. But in any case..

You'll be glad you did. =)

I bought these games a couple years ago for the PS2.  Of course, I hadn't played them. 

I've only played the first one and the Spirit Camera 3DS game.  The first Fatal Frame game would've been neat if it weren't for the fact that your character controls like she just got out of bed.  Ghosts could be chasing her, and all she does is stumble around groggily.  If you have a 3DS, I'd try and get Spirit Camera.  It's a good sample of what the big games are like.

NSonic79 said play II, so you're playing II, now hop to it! Like a bunny! 

Kiddin', I have no idea. He does seem like he'd be the most knowledgeable source on this though.

I think they're all on sale on the PSN store.  Play them all!  Then beg Nintendo to bring out the Wii U version so I, I mean you, can play that one.

If I had all three and hadn't played any of them, I would always start at the beginning so I could see how the series evolved, but allgame.com, my guide for everything, gives the edge to Fatal Frame II giving it 3 1/2 stars out of 5 as opposed to 3 stars for FFI and FFIII.

Go for Fatal Frame II, it's amazing.

I'm kinda sorta playing it as well. I just haven't gone back to it in over a year lol

Crimson butterfly fatal frame 2 is the best of the 3 but there all 3 awesome my favorite scary game bar none just look at my blog ( whats your scariest game pick )
