Cursed Mountain Critic Reviews

A great setting and lots of top shocks - Cursed Mountain is chilling in every sense.

Cursed Mountain is an innovative psychological survival horror game. The interesting and deep story improves the gameplay experience. The game offers calm gameplay with many exploring moments. The graphics and the sounds give many chances to the storyline and the combination between wiimote and nunchuk makes a better experience. Actually one of the best survival horror games on Wii.

Despite those issues, there is no question that Cursed Mountain is not only one of the finest titles currently available for the Wii, it's a welcome detour from the well-worn survival horror path that so many developers seem only too happy to tread.

Limited replayability but if you enjoy your horror games tense with a good story you should enjoy this.

Even with a lack of endearing gameplay advancements and actual frights, Cursed Mountain is the kind of unique experience you want from the Wii and up and coming developers.

Cursed Mountain succeeds in providing a genuine mature experience on Wii. With the great use of Buddhist themes, Cursed Mountain stands out from all the other survival horror titles on the platform and is very original.

Fantastic atmosphere, setting and story will chill your bones and nerves. But spotty controls and some tedious pacing keep Cursed Mountain from reaching its full potential.

It's by no means perfect, the motion controlled combat can be a tad flaky and its pacing may be too languid for some, but those Wii owners looking for something a little more grown up would be well advised to put on their climbing boots give this a try.

Cursed Mountain is a remarkable horror game - for pure unrelenting terror it is way above the recent high-tech offerings of Resident Evil 5 or Dead Space.

Cursed Mountain is a game of considerable quality, with no shortage of commendable assets - an intelligent story, well-crafted immersion into a foreign world and a high standard of audio and visual presentation mark it out as a game well worth a buy.

Slow and steady exploration will keep you on the edge of your seat and progressing upward for some time.

The first real Wii survival horror shocker! The Austrian developers tried something new and created not a great, but a good game for grown-up horror fans!

At the end of the day, Cursed Mountain is actually a step in the right direction on the Wii and attempts to create something unique and strangely original on a console that is unfortunately dominated by high-end console ports or casual games.

This Himalayan horror adventure will send chills up your spine, even though the controls are as cursed as the titular mountain.

Despite the occasional issue, Cursed Mountain is a fun and sometimes frightening title -- I actually jumped once or twice as I played. The adventure's spooky atmosphere is something I haven't seen before, which is refreshing amidst a genre clogged with games all sporting the same themes.

Eric has to find his brother. There's nothing more for him, just the fearless phantom figures that follow him all his way up to the Himalaya's mountain. Deep Silver had made one of their greatest games so far, with a very interesting storyline mixed with an even more interesting graphic engine. There's nothing to lose in here; it's a must-have for all terror-lovers that are looking forward to buy a good adventure for their favourite console.

Cursed Mountain is a good choice against those great survival series available on the shelves, with a particular rhythm and an original atmosphere.

Cursed Mountain is surely a title which stands out from the crowd. It’s not properly a survival horror, as in some ways it’s more a voyage through the ancient heights of the Himalaya, with the millenarian Tibetan culture as a rich framework. In terms of gameplay the combat system is fun and the controller’s motion sensor are well used and give a contribute to the title’s variety. The only faults are the non responsive controls and some plot elements which are not explained in an exhaustive way.

Cursed Mountain is a real tribute to the genre of survival horror. Although not really scary, the title of Deep Silver recreates an original setting for a videogame. The attention to detail and the excellent plot, however, collide with not excellent graphic and especially with not perfect controls that will force us to repeat some steps too many times.

The name of this game is Cursed Mountain. But do we curse the game itself or not? If you don't pay attention to the bad graphics and the slow progress in the game, you can really have some fun with Cursed Mountain which has actually a unique atmosphere.
