Wii Charge Station

The Nintendo Wii has a family friendly image and not one often associated with the survival horror genre. Cursed Mountain is set to change all that. While light on the guts and gore of next-gen games, atmosphere and storytelling do the shocking here.

You begin with the news that your brother Frank has gone searching the mountain for an item called Terma, a Buddhist artefact. Your mission is to find him, and on the way navigate the story filled with Eastern philosophy and Buddhism. It's original stuff for a game, make no mistake.

The exclusive release on the Wii has done wonders for the graphics in Cursed Mountain. Rather than having toned down the gore because of the platform's capabilities, the developers have simply opted to spend the time making the best adventure they can and it shows.

As well as the graphics in the game, the controls make the most of the Wii. Unlike ported games where developers have clearly tried to work out how to make some sort of gimmick out of the control system, Cursed Mountain has every part of the game developed from the ground up with the controller in mind, whether it's walking across a chasm bridge or fighting off malevolent spirits.

It's not a one dimensional route to the top of the mountain either, as you can choose your route. As you progress upwards, the game offers more puzzles and challenges, such as the depleting amount of oxygen in the air the higher you get, making you race from one oxygen bottle to the next.

The combination of puzzles and sections which allow you to decide how to progress, with decent graphics - a novelty on the Wii, and a well thought out control system, make Cursed Mountain and ideal game for the adult who is looking for something a bit more involving on their Wii. It's not gratuitous by any means, but Cursed Mountain is not for the faint hearted either.

Cursed Mountain came out September 4th 2009 and is only available for the Wii.
