A great setting and lots of top shocks - Cursed Mountain is chilling in every sense. [Oct 2009, p.78]

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.

I really love this type of game. When you explore the haunted place and you fight supernatural entities. Shame is we haven't have any news to remaster or remake this classic.

I played it on pc but according to metacritic this version doesn't exist so... It is really one of a kind game. Definition of a hidden gem. Maybe it's not scary but it is atmospheric as f*** :) But if you want action, you have many other games to choose from, this one is slow. The combat is also kinda slow. That is not where the focus went (even thou it is also quite unique). The main focus went on the feel of the game and I absolutely love it. You won't find a setting like this done this tastefully anywhere else. I also like very much here that they respected the culture with their religion and history (mostly - the ending boss had very americanise things to say which was disappointing). But definitely overall respect it and Not americanise it with their ideology and so on like the current gold standard of western production (done with Chinese culture for example).

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 has some really worked out aspects, but isn’t delivering a good quality on every front. It’s a game that you could hate after a while but has some unique perspectives at the same time. Cursed Mountain is a trip for a good eight to ten hours, if you don’t have any problems with the controls and linear maps.

All in all, the game will probably take around 12-15 hours to complete. With no multiplayer to any significant bonus features, replay value is quite low.

This game won’t exactly entertain you. The bad controls result in way too much frustration and the game isn’t even that scary, which is a shame because the game pretends to be a survival-horror game. The visits to the Himalaya are interesting enough but not enough to turn Cursed Mountain into a classic.

Cursed Mountain is awfully ugly, poorly designed and almost unable to create any fear at all, making it a frighteningly bad horror game.

Apparemment, il s'agissait d'un jeu Wii à l'origine, ce qui explique sa relative laideur -même sur PC- les animations d'un autre âge et les niveaux minuscules. On ne s'explique pas par contre l'absence de support pour la manette... se taper un jeu aussi lent au clavier et à la souris, c'est carrément bien pénible. Même s'il peut "courir", le personnage semble toujours au ralenti ! A part ça, il ne s'agit que d'un petit jeu linéaire, un jeu-couloir moitié aventure, moitié horrifique ou plutôt ésotérique à dire vrai avec des fantômes très vindicatifs... le combat est d'ailleurs très mal fichu et la maniabilité générale en plus d'être lente et laborieuse s'avère incontestablement l'une des plus mauvaises en matière de TPS. ça sauvegarde automatiquement et pas très souvent et l'espèce d'histoire qui sert de vague prétexte à ce navet foireux nous laisse au mieux de marbre ou au pire nous ennuie fortement. Et rapidement. En conséquence de quoi, ce jeu clairement minable ne dispose pas de la moindre once d'intérêt. Même la désinstallation est ennuyeuse et lente : tellement de fichiers (plein de... WAV ! on hallucine...) que ça met plus d'une minute à dégager. Allez, va escalader la poubelle pour voir, je suis sûr que tu peux y arriver, misérable petit jeu de merde !
