    An interesting game with a heavy dose of adventure and a moderate amount of action. The action isn't paced at breakneck speed, but it is a lot of fun.

    The combat was overly simplistic, the gameplay was rather linear, and the overall game could be considered short, but that doesn’t take away from the chills and thrills that await anyone who decides to play.

    Despite the company's lack of experience with this sort of game-making, and a few noteworthy miscues, the designers have traced the footsteps of Resident Evil as carefully as a chiropodist. This leaves the end result without even the tiniest smidgen of originality, though it is a convincing memorial to a classic genre.

    Not a terrible game. You’ll definitely find better in the survival horror genre if you’re looking for a good scare, and it doesn’t excel at any particular department, but when you consider other budget-priced titles, it’s not a bad buy.

    The Curse comes in the form of a yellow mist. A yellow mist with some social problems, it likes to posses the dead, hence the zombies and also inanimate objects. So it's slightly different to Resi Evil and the zombies run fast, like in 28 Days Later. Ooooo. Sounds fascinating. It isn't.

    If you're looking for a survival horror adventure to tide you over, this can fit the bill. Just don't expect it to look great or do anything new or spectacular.

    The humdrum gameplay won't convert anyone. Clumsy combat with fists or firearms makes up the majority, and the rest of the game is usually a glorified switch and key hunt... and not a particularly complicated one, either.

    Ok so basically this is a $20 Resident Evil game set in the mid 1800s. If you go into it expecting the norm of a bargain priced title, Ok so basically this is a $20 Resident Evil game set in the mid 1800s. If you go into it expecting the norm of a bargain priced title, you'll be pleasantly surprised. The graphics are good, the mood and visuals of the game are pretty good as well. All in all its a lot more than I expected and it certainly is a very entertaining game...if you're willing to turn a blind eye to some things. The voice acting is good, the plot is pretty cool, weapons are awesome, targeting system is ...ok but not a problem, just don't go in expecting the best game or the worst and you should have an enjoyable time. I definitely recommend this game for any fans of RE that are looking for a similar title on the XBOX. Cheers.… Expand

    A bargain bin Resident Evil clone. Not too bad in itself, but basically a mediocre game, with a few frustrating design and asset decisions.A bargain bin Resident Evil clone. Not too bad in itself, but basically a mediocre game, with a few frustrating design and asset decisions. It's essentially a linear, fixed camera survival horror, with a basic (but not awful) backstory that takes you through a few quite varied locations, fighting monsters with a sparse collection of weaponry. Navigation is convoluted, possibly in an attempt to hide how linear the game is, and frustrating thanks to the useless map and area layouts. Graphics and audio are mediocre, but passable, and present a consistent feel throughout. You'll get considerably more enjoyment out of this is you employ a walkthrough when unsure of your next objective, and I would give this a 5 or so if played like that- but it doesn't excuse the slow progression without it, and the low payoff you get from a budget title like this.
    Worth a look if you've already played all the fantastic survival horrors out there.    … Expand
