Things started out slow, but creepy, and only continue to ratchet up from there. The setting is so perfect for a horror game that, in hindsight, it's really shocking that no one has thought to set a survival horror game in this setting before.I've been playing this about 2hours a day for the last three days and it's one of the few games in recent memory that I hate to put down. It's a real page turner. Impressive graphics for the Wii and sensible use of the Wii's unique controls, with a great spooky setting and an engaging story earns this 5 stars in my book. 31 of 33 people found the following review helpful By Bob (Here) - See all my reviews = Fun: This review is from: Cursed Mountain Wii (Video Game) Cursed Mountain is one of the better games you'll find on the Wii, a console that is plagued with shovel ware. The game's setting is fairly unique on the console with a lot of care obviously given to the design. The game also does a good job creating that eerie, solitary atmosphere.The game play, however, consists mostly of going from one set of empty rooms to another set of empty rooms looking for items, so it gets rather repetitive. Fighting ghosts requires motion gestures, which can get very frustrating -- especially as the game progresses, since more and more gestures have to be chained together. The game wisely narrows the gestures down to a simple set of four, but recognition of the thrusting motion is rather iffy, and I found myself often having to attempt a gesture combo over and over. There is a handful of boss fights that present fun challenges, and there's enough story to move the game forward, with some mature themes thrown in further on in the game...

There are several challenges that the mountain gave which were quite enjoyable, and some intense battles with ghosts and demons. The creators did a solid job integrating the Wii remote into the game, and made use of the speaker in a fun way. Throughout the game you do have to combine different movements during combat which initially caused problems. Often the game/sensor bar would not pick up the gestures, and it was not until the end that I seemed to find the correct rhythm/ movement needed. The M rating seems a bit of a stretch, but there was a very brief moment that brought in an adult theme. If you are looking for blood and gore, this is not the game for you. Something to also keep in mind is that it is a short game (it took me about 15 hrs.) and so far there does not seem to be much replay value (no change in... Read more |
