   This is the best survival-horror game on the Wii. A must buy for any survival-horror fan.

Controls are a bit dull and the pace is way to slow to make anything scary per-se but through the sound and atmosphere it really does deliver!… Expand

The thrusting motions that they've I can't believe that so many reviewers haven't been able to get the hang of the controls. The thrusting motions that they've all messed up are easily done: Move the remote or nunchuck from the horizontal to the vertical position and jab forward keeping the remote or nunchuck in the vertical position. It works 100% of the time once you get the timing right unless you panic lol. Back to the game itself, in places the views are breathtaking and overall the graphics are top-notch. The music and sound effects combined with the pacing of the game create a great deal of tension and there will certainly be a few moments where you'll be made to jump by some well placed stingers. The storyline is excellent and the Buddhist elements are a nice addition, making the game very different from alternative survival horro titles. The only complaint I have is that the game is a little too easy, although replay value is certainly there for completists as you're likely to miss a few documents on the first playthrough. I'd highly recommend this game, with around 20 hours playthrough time and a few scares on the way you'll certainly get your money's worth.… Expand

   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).… Expand

Because the medium doesn't seem to be evolving and maturing with me. I'm tired of playing childish games that pretend to be mature. Cursed Mountain is exactly what I needed. The game is thoughtful, has an amazing atmosphere, and a story that doesn't cater to an adolescent intellect. It has a slower pace that actually supports the immersion of climbing a mountain alone. The game isn't perfect (the motion controls could have been a bit more forgiving), but it's been one of the most enjoyable games I've played in a very long time. Hopefully, Deep Silver opened a few developers' eyes to the concept that there's a whole other level of "mature" that has yet to be truly explored in video games.… Expand

It's I have waited for a while for some gloomy games on the wii, so i had expectations about this. I must say that it's good. It's visually stunning, with a very good dark atmosphere, and nicely directed. Sounds are very good and in-the-right-place, and I must admit the thrilling is very well rendered. Many people say it's slow paced, and it's true, but again, it's a survival horror, not a shooter. I found it refreshing, and a nice way to show what the wii is capable of doing.… Expand

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 !… Expand
