Any vivid horror survival fan should check this game out. As MANY others from the genre it is a slow paced exploring cheap thrill mystery. The story is based on a mountain climber trying to rescue his brother from the Himalayan mountains. The controls can sometimes be awkward and this ends up being it's biggest flaw. Some cut scenes are also unnecessary. The pace of the character can be considered annoying but this is common in these types of games as it's aimed for you to capture the atmosphere and not to be rushed through wielding your m16. The storyline is what really keeps the game going. Throughout your exploration you will come across books and journals which help develop the story based on Asian culture and religion. The sound and music is a great and appropriate addition however the voice over acting is poor. While there are different ways to kill the ghosts your best option is to just slash and hack them with your ice pick rather than using your 3rd eye. This is due to the the poor combat motion system.
pros
story is incredible
music and sound spot on
average graphics for a wii game anyways
cons
voice over acting
motion controls are awkward
IF you are not a fan of slow paced horror survival 3rd person types than you will not like this game.
