Product Description Protected by an evil curse that manifests itself by raising the dead and animating diabolical objects, you must return the cursed statue to its rightful pyramid and stop the madness. Review Anyone see the movie The Relic? No, of course you haven't, you have better things to do. That movie is about creepy things happening in a museum, and so is this. But the similarities don't stop there – both ape more successful franchises, and neither is as scary as it thinks it is. And while neither is bad per se, they're not particularly great, either. As the name implies, Curse is about, well, a curse – specifically on an Egyptian artifact. The curse brings the dead back to life, and you have to fight them. The story is not all that compelling or original, but then again, nothing about this title is. The graphics, while not terrible, are decent at best. Animation is stiff and limited, and the sound does nothing to create a mood. In other words, if you're looking for scary, this ain't it. All around, Curse just bored me. The menus are clunky, the map is useless, and combat is too easy. On the other hand, controlling your character is easier in Curse than in the Resident Evil games that it so wishes to be. Like a B-grade horror movie, it's a passable title, and someone out there will enjoy it, but it's by no means ready for the big leagues. Concept: Curse really, really, really wants to be a 19th century version of Resident Evil, and it's a lot like that series, except that it lacks the scariness and fun Graphics: Without a doubt, the worst looking survival horror game on a next-gen system. The lighting is particularly bad Sound: The bland sound does absolutely nothing to create any sort of mood Playability: The controls actually work better than most survival horror games, but there are still strange glitches Entertainment: Like a bargain set of obscure horror movies, Curse seems like it should be a lot more fun than it actually is Replay: Low Rated: 6.75 out of 10 Editor: Jeremy Zoss Issue: February 2004 2nd Opinion: If you're going to make me wander through a dark museum fighting generic Egyptian zombies with nothing to count on but a pointless map, bad camera angles, and shoddy gameplay, the least you can do is let me smash some priceless artifacts. Curse fails even in this, its last chance to make itself remotely entertaining. Rated: 6 out of 10 Editor: Joe Juba Subscribe to Game Informer -- Game Informer Review
