I finished Cursed Mountain, and have to say I really enjoyed it. The setting and the Buddhist themes were both refreshing, but it was the setting that stole the show- abandoned mountain towns and villages, sprawling monasteries, and of course the mountain itself. I was pleased with how well they pulled it off on the Wii's comparatively weak hardware. One of the touches I appreciated was being able to look down on areas you've come through as you progressed through levels. It really helped create a sense of scale and it reinforced the sense of isolation.

The game was a little on the short side, probably less than 15hrs, but I could definitely see myself wanting to play through it again sometime.
