DO NOT believe the other reviews you read about this game.
Cursed Mountain is a well done game with Silent hill elements. It also has Resident Evil and Eternal Darkness elements as well. If you enjoyed the silent hill games and the classic resident evil games then you will feel right at home with Cursed Mountain.
Graphics: 8
The game looks good! Solid graphics, nice effects.( there not 360 or PS3 graphics) There are parts of the game where u will pass through an area where the camera will tilt and the colors are washed out witch give the game a creepy feel.( kinda like Silent hill, Eternal Darkness camera angles)
Game play: 9
The game is fun to play. I specially like killing the ghost with a swing of the wiimote. Our hero may be a little slow for some people but it did not bother me one bit.( its a survival horror game what do u expect) again if u love silent hill then u will have no problem.
Story: 10
The story is well done and thought out. Its a different and refreshing story. It has a lot to do with religion and the a cult. The story will suck you in.
Controls: 8
OK if you have trouble playing this game then you just suck at video games. I did not have one problem with the controls at all. the screen tells me to swing the wiimote, i do, it works every time. Simple!!
Sound: 8
Not much music in the game but you wont even notice. there is a lot of ambient sounds. there are parts where you will hear people whispering and people in pain like if there south of heaven. Does a good job of keeping the scare factor up.

This game is a must Rent or BUY for Survival horror fans.( specially when its only 20 bux. be quick cuz they did not make a lot of copies of this game so it might be hard to find soon.) You wont be disappointing. Its not for people who only play Call of Duty or button mashing games. This is for intelligent gamers who have patience and like a good story.

When I first played Cursed Mountain, I thought it was a cool game, it made me tense and cautious, and I even marveled at the graphics a little bit. But then I found out how bad the controls were. Turning the guy was like turning a tank, and movement was sluggish. As hard as I tried to ignore the controls, I found myself making mistakes over and over again because I couldn't turn the character enough, or so much that I missed my target. What was marvel turned into frustration and I grew tired of taking hits or missing items because the character couldn't move the way I wanted him to.

Everything else about the game is pretty good, although the story could use a little work, I was engaged in the game enough, the atmosphere was great, the tense situation of not knowing what was ahead was exciting to me. The music was in tune with the game itself, keeping everything in that scary tone without overdoing it. Overall, I would say if you can tolerate the clunky controls and you like scary games, give it a try, you might be surprised at what you might find.

Hello, this is a clunky fighting game in disguise as an adventure game. It's sort of a hybrid of Silent Hill & Eternal Darkness - but NOT nearly as good as either. Very limited exploration, no creative puzzles & a slow paced goofy story insure your fun will be limited. To top it all off - they add loads of stupid combat with a character who can barely move let alone fight. Our hero is a real lame excuse for a rugged mountain climber. And for the icing on the cake - the Wii controller scheme for this game is plain frustrating. Really wanted to like this one, but alas, it sucked! To better games ahead! My best, D
