darksnowman Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 What I noticed most was that there is no music. What I noticed after that was it was hard to really notice anything cos the game seems to be so dark! Still, them being snowy themed videos pleased me because as you would guess, darksnowman likes the snow. The Twilight Realm look towards the end of the first video was pretty cool too.

david.dakota Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Why's it SO dark though, couldn't see a thing at times! Its Casamassina's "dark game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noku Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Don't think that it's supposed to be that dark. Probably something went wrong when capturing. Also remember, it's not recent footage anyway (said so at the end of the article). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 http://wii.ign.com/articles/964/964048p1.html Gamers will have the opportunity to find out how powerful their Wii console actually is. That's a bold statement. There are some nice screens, though, which might back it up a little. This one is particularly impressive for the facial features: That kind of face is very similar to what you see in Half Life 2, which has some amazing faces. However, the texturing of his clothes is very last gen. Those suspenders lack a sense of 3D, they just look drawn on the jacket. But I repeat, that face is spectacular!

D_prOdigy Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The latest model is the game in early beta. Deep Silver have said lighting is one of the specific areas that needs work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 Looks great. There seems to be loads of awesome 3rd party games coming out this year. Let's hope people buy them, and that Nintendo can top them off with a few of their own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 That's a very cool video, and this game is so strange in it's concept. Heavy links to Buddhism, which is quite cool and unusual. Shot up in my estimations, I must say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerdust Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Apparently this game has been released according to IGN, it's on store shelves and some people have played it. That certainly snuck through the back door then. Anyone here thats in the States gotten around to playing it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganepark32 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Haven't read any of them but I've seen snippets of reviews over at Gonintendo and reading them all, it would seem the game is pretty good. They all said it's nailed the atmosphere and looks great. It seems to be a bit slow in pace at the beginning though but does pick up a bit down the line. That's all I've heard so far.

Ren of Heavens Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 6 out of 10: http://www.gamervision.com/gamer/coop/reviews/article/cursed_mountain_wii "The graphics really can't be held under too much scrutiny, since Wii owners sort of know what they're getting into. The problems that can't really be forgiven, however, come from the slow pacing. True, slow pacing on its own doesn't necessarily mean bad pacing, but Cursed Mountain's molasses speed doesn't work in the game's favor. In the end, it's worth checking out the game at some point, just not when so many other games are right around the corner. Anyone who owns multiple systems will likely be busy with games far better than Cursed Mountain very soon, enjoying the holiday season's releases. As for those who prefer the Wii exclusively, however, there isn't much like it on the system. There are those who will enjoy Cursed Mountain. The slow, monotonous gameplay might be a turn-on for gamers tired of the run-and-gun shooters that seem to own the year 2009. As for the masses, however, it's best to avoid this curse altogether."

LostOverThere Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Meristation gave the game 7.5 out of 10. http://www.meristation.com/v3/des_analisis.php?pic=WII&idj=cw48d3c5474f0e8&id=cw4a93964b852f7 (Review in French) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksnowman Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 6 out of 10 Meristation gave the game 7.5 out of 10. And a 7.5 from Matt on IGN. Closing CommentsDespite 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. It's a smart tale. I felt compelled to discover what happened to Simmons' lost brother, and the make-up of the world, all logically sewn together, drew me in. But the dated controls and level designs, frequently filled with hidden keys leading to locked doors, are just a little too familiar, if not altogether archaic. For these reasons, the game is sure to appeal to survival horror fans who've never had issues with those aforementioned control or design shortcomings. If you fall into that category, grab your gear and hit the mountain. And if not, you might want to stay indoors this time around. http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/101/1019344p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darksnowman Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Yeah, I watched the GT review yesterday. Imo, the game looks good but I guess it just didn't turn out to be anything special in the end. I like the snowy setting they've gone for- but that goes without saying, doesn't it?

Zechs Merquise Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think it's a pretty tough market for survival horror on the Wii, after all we do have Darkside Chronicles, Dead Space Extraction, The Grudge and Silent Hill all coming soon. The others are known franchises in one way or another. Cursed Mountain however is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've just got this through the door today for review, popped it in for a quick play-test and ended up spending most of the day on it, I'm enjoying... and have been on edge for the most part, start of the game is very tense walking round an empty down and even though it's daylight there is an uneasy feeling, especially when you start seeing a smokey shadow walking round corners and parts when the color fades to black & white you get ready expecting something... but oddly the first "jump" moment doesn't happen in these black & white moments leaving you unprepared and got my heart rate up a fair bit, haha. Controls aren't bad, kinda reminds me of RE:4 Wii ed, minus the guns, and minus the 180 degree turn around which would have been handy, though I do wish the character moved just a little bit faster when "jogging". The gesture motion controls for fighting aren't bad, only problem I had with recognition was for getures where you motion the wiimote/nunchuck forwards, but once you figure out the right way to do it, it's fine. (hold wiimote/nunchuck verticle point to ceiling and punch forward) doing it this way i've no longer had a problem with gesture recognition.
