Cursed Mountain

I've really enjoyed this game, what i've played so far anyway and believe me i will be dedicating much time to it this week. tho a bit slow to start this is shaping up quite nicely and is easing u in, the graphics for the wii are awesome and the atmosphere it creates also are good and i'll admit bits have made me jump! This is a good game if you like your survival horrors and reminds me of the resident evil series! I'm not going to give anything away as i'm sure some1 else will ruin it for you. Lol. Happy gaming.

Cursed Mountain is an abortive attempt at survival horror which surely never even worked on paper. The majority of time playing is spent trogging through empty streets, mountainsides and villages, occasionally indulging in repetitive railshooter-esque combat with identical ghosts. There is absolutely nothing to do in the game, you literally push 'up' until you eventually get told to retrace your steps before you can move forward.

There's nothing to collect apart from a few scraps of paper (same old storytelling method delivered a lot less cleverly than we've seen with BioShock and the like) and healing incense sticks. You can occasionally find a permanent max-health boost but that's it. 'Puzzles' don't seem to happen, instead you're told to go back and wave the Wiimote at a previously blocked door, have a few more battles then press on. The character moves painfully slow making progress even more grating to achieve.

I find it hard to be eloquent or descriptive about the game since the hours I spent playing it just vanished leaving me with nothing to show for it. It needed puzzles, some interaction, some interesting combat (or a combat-avoidance mechanic like Clocktower 3). Even then I doubt it would pass muster, it's so hair-pullingly dull. As someone who's enjoyed survival horror since Alone in the Dark (never mind Resident Evil) I'm gutted that one of the hopefuls of this console generation has turned out like this.

Cursed Mountain is an extremely poor effort that will very quickly be forgotten, not least when one of tmodest few survival horror games hitting the Wii (hopefully) is a playable experience. If you're absolutely dying to play it then sure give it a rent, but I sure as heck don't recommend it to anyone for purchasing.

This is just an example that RE5 would be possible for Wii.

It reminds me a lot of Resident Evil 4 but you will agree that this is something good!

It has Great Graphics (the city in the start is amazing) and Great use of the surround system.

Must Have!

I am stuck on ''defeating the shrine keeper'' can anyone help me?? is it a disk problem or is it my spakky movements? :(

I played this game up until the end of the third chapter and I thought it was very boring, the only actions you can perform are hitting a few things with an axe and walking around, it is definatly not scary or jumpy (not as far as I played it anyway.) Also everything is mapped out for you, so its pretty obvious whats going to happen, taking the fun and excitement out of the gameplay. Although apart from it being boring and not scary the graphics are quite good for the wii.
