Description:
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni takes place during June 1983, at a fictional rural village called Hinamizawa, which has a population of approximately 2000. The main character, Keiichi Maebara, moves to Hinamizawa and befriends his new classmates Rena Ryugu, Mion Sonozaki, Rika Furude, and Satoko Hojo. Keiichi joins their after-school club activities, which consist mostly of card and board games (and punishment games for the loser, usually him.) Hinamizawa appears to be a normal, peaceful, rural village to Keiichi. However, the tranquility abruptly ends after the annual Watanagashi Festival, a celebration to commemorate and give thanks to the local god, Oyashiro-sama. Keiichi learns that every year for the past four years, one person has been murdered and another has gone missing on the day of the Watanagashi Festival. Keiichi himself soon becomes drawn into the strange events surrounding the Watanagashi Festival and Oyashiro-sama. In each story arc, he or one of his friends become paranoid, and a crime is committed. Usually, the crime involves the murder of one of their own friends. While it seems impossible to tell their delusions apart from the mystery of Hinamizawa, slowly the truth is revealed.

I'm a huge Higurashi fan as it is and I already have the PC version. How exactly does the PS2 CGs come to play? Any idea where I can find info about it?

Apparently he thought the PC version looked like shit (which it does) and changed the sprites of the original version for the ps2 versions.
But that's only for the demo, and i haven't played it yet so i don't know how far i reaches, not too far i'd assume.

I probably should've done some research before hand, but according to the thread over at Sakurahana, the demo is the full release for Onikakushi-hen. So basically, the Higurashi games have 4 routes and the demo only lets you have Onikakushi and in this case, it's already been translated.

But seeing as it's called "Demo" i would assume it's not the entire arc.
(but again, don't take my word for any of this)

Just when to confirm that this is indeed a full translation of Onikakushi. The demo on sonozakifutagotachi.blogspot.com doesn't cover the whole game. The demo on the 07th Expansion site is the full game for Onikakushi and not the other 3. So essentially, you've got yourself a free game.
CGs and Voices make the game a lot more worthwhile.

Beat me to it :P
I just talked to Kpoeira about it and he confirmed that it was the whole arc.
+rep for helping out.

wait, so the demo translates the whole game with the ps2 cgs? or only translates a route and leaves the other 3 routes(or how many routes there are) untranslated?

is it normal that the installer has done nothing after 20 minutes of "installing" ?I don't think that's normal in any game.

Just finished the demo, and damn, the visual novel really shit all over the anime.
Anyone who hasn't seen the Higurashi anime should try this out, everyone who has too for that matter.

Exactly. I feel the same way. In my opinion, it always goes like this.
Visual Novel > Manga > Anime
If you really like Higurashi, give Umineko a try if you haven't done so already.

So when does the full trans patch comes out?
