Cursed Mountain

"I have mixed feelings regarding Cursed Mountain. The controls are infuriating, the finale is laughably pretentious and the game engine itself is about a decade out of date. Yet, there is something appealing about scaling a haunted Tibetan mountain, and that combined with a few good, if poorly implemented, ideas, made me enjoy the game more often than not."

"There are moments when predictability seeps into Cursed Mountain. Some of your ethereal enemies mix up attacks on you, but defeating them involves the same tactics time and time again (with the exception of a few sinister boss fights). And yet there's something special about Cursed Mountain always lingering under its surface. Its attention to cultural detail is extraordinary, and as you approach your final destination, the anxious chill spreads further through you. It's a shame that control issues so frequently tarnish the trek. But Cursed Mountain mostly transcends its problems, thanks to a great premise and thoughtful storytelling that will clutch you in its frosty embrace. "

"Let me be clear: there are no zombies in Deep Silver's third-person adventure, Cursed Mountain. The Wii-exclusive title is not dripping with gore, either. So if you've grown tired of the undead and their insatiable appetite for blood, not to mention the undercooked stories that accompany your typical survival-horror outings, you might find some solace in this new title, set to the backdrop of the HImalayas. Mountain presents a unique and interesting tale highlighted by some unconventional characters, truths that may compel you to stick to the adventure even as some its play mechanics cling so stubbornly to the old and sometimes-dated conventions of the genre.
