Also, when people say the controls suck is it like RE's 1-3 controls? I didn't mind those controls.


Not responsive.

So...Motion controls don't work?

Read that big post of mine up above.  It explains how to make them work.

I don't think the controls are as bas as people are making them out to be.  As I said, I am on my second playthrough and you definitly have to adjust to them and they don't always register.  But this is not a game breaking thing in any way.  Reading all of the posts, I do realise that this game is not for everybody.  Like I said: good graphics, amazing bouddhist atmosphere, immersive music, books are short and fun to read and it is slow pace.  I do like the fact that it's slow.  But then again, I always like to take in the scenery and get "into" the game. 

Like Silent Hill.  I am a big fan of 2 because of ...well...it's Silent Hill.  I bought Shattered Memories for the Wii and really appreciated the fact that I could take my time with it, with the exceptions of the nightmare sequences.  The slower pace makes these games more enjoyable to me.  I am also playing Resident Evil 5.  I have trouble getting into this game because you are always shooting hordes of these guys.  Everything is fast paced.  Still enjoyable, but less than Silent Hill.

Cursed Mountain doesn't scare me of give me an adrenaline shot everytime I play it, but I am drawn into it.  So, for me, it is a very good game.  That's all. 

 

 

I need a new Horror game and prefer them to be more Horror and Puzzle oriented instead of Action like as in RE4 and RE5...I like Horror games like the first 3 Resident Evil's.

I plan to buy a Wii horror game sometime before the end of the summer at the very latest so for future reference...

Silent Hill Shattered Memories or Cursed Mountain? Which game is the better Puzzle-Horror game?

Silent Hill Shattered Memories or Cursed Mountain? Which game is the better Puzzle-Horror game?

I enjoyed Silent Hill Shattered Memories more because of the psychological angle of the game and because I am a huge fan of Silent Hill.  But Cursed Mountain really surprised me.  I am on my second playthrough on both games and, if you have the money, I suggest both.  And by the way, you can find them pretty cheap nowadays.

As far as the puzzles go, again, Silent Hill has the upper hand.  In cursed mountain, the puzzles are more oriented toward defeating certain enemies to open up new areas.  In Shattered Memories, you have some more classic puzzles for codes opening locked doors and so forth.  Some of them are pretty easy, but others give a good challenge.

The replay value  for both games:  Silent Hill offers different areas and endings (I think) depending on some of the answers you give the psychiatrist.  Cursed Mountain is the same but I just love the atmosphere too much to let this bother me.

I hope this helps.

If you have a very limited budget go with Silent Hill, is a good game, a little short but it also has multiple endings, they graphic and sound quality is very high, and the controls work very well. It is on amazon for only 18 dollars... 

So if you budget is not very small maybe you can buy both games as Cursed Mountain is at 11 dollars and its a different experience, it feels like and old survival horror game, but the atmosphere is great and the use of oriental myths change the game a lot.

But the way always run with the character just walking can make the game look even slower than it actually is.

I am glad it bombed, that is what happens when you make a Wii only game. If it was Mario's Cursed Mountian it would of sold millions. Wii owners are tools.

Agreed here. Silent Hill is a better game overall, but you shouldnt have a hard time finding Cursed Mountain for more than $15.

Cursed Mountain is a true "Core Gamer"'s kind of game. Its not for people who are easily frustrated, or need walkthroughs or tutorials to show how to do every little thing of the game.

Most people who ended up disliking the game are just spoiled by how easy games have become, mindless even. This game is for the OLD gamer crowd, the ones like me that beat over 300 NES games, the ones that would rather die than have to go to GameFaq and read through a walkthrough for hints.

It's a damn good game for an underground developer. The atmospheric qualities are vibrant, even for a game that's not the hottest in graphics.

Be prepared to be challenged and frustrated, but push forward and get through the game, you'll be glad you did.

Tell me you are joking.

I think this might be the easiest game I have played this generation.  I've got thirty, 30(!), healing items right now.   On top of that, the game is almost completely linear.  With very minimal exploration you can find everything in the game.  Who needs a guide for that?  All you do is follow the one empty path (slowly), fight the occasional ghost (that always announces its presence), and back track for key items when necessary.

Im sure Mario Kart was a lot easier. =P

While I agree it was definitely linear, there are parts where you have to figure out how to get through to the next area (like the base camp area). its easy to get turned around.

I will say, at first I wasnt so sold on the game, like some other people who only gave it 30 minutes or so of gametime, but I pushed on and found the game to be a lot more interesting as it went on.

If it was from a big developer, I'd have been disappointed. From a small dev, its not bad. Think of it as if you were watching an independent film.
