In the game you carry a regular arsenal of weapons, and the developers at least included guns from the era of the game rather than me running around with a Tommy Gun blasting through the entire level. My personal favorite weapon is the crossbow. There is something about shooting a zombie with a crossbow that seems satisfying. There is also a flamethrower located in the game if you wish to burn your zombies back to the dead. There are a few other weapons in there too for your appetite. There is also a shotgun, baton, pistol, and a mortar firing gun here. Going into a battle against a zombie with a baton is definitely not the smartest thing to do since they are usually accommodated with weapons the size of your head. It is actually sort of funny to stand there and try to beat them with a baton while they viciously decapitate you in every place on your body.
In a horror game, the sound has to be dead on for the game to hit its stride. Fortunately here, the sound is actually a bright spot in the game. You begin to hear music when you are near an enemy, and the sound of footsteps walking on the cement leaves you at the edge of your seat. While the sounds may leave you on the edge of your seat, there is not much else. The sound does not follow through, it does not provide the knockout punch, it is just average again. At first thoughts the sound is great, and it is decent, but they are just missing one aspect to make it great. It is one of those things that you cannot put your finger on to find, but it needs to deliver more.
To say that this game is bad would not be putting it in the correct terms. The game is not bad. It just is not good either. The controls and camera are too awkward and too clumsy to ever get adjusted to. Rather they will leave you yelling at your television in disgust. While the game tries to distance itself from the former Resident Evil and Silent Hill games with a different twist on the storyline, there just is not enough here to tell the games apart. If you crave that type of game, well, there are not many left like it, and this may be enough to hold you over until something new comes out. If anything it is a worthy game for a rental to enjoy over a weekend. The storyline takes around ten hours to beat, not nearly enough time to justify buying it since you cannot play through it again. So if you are looking for a horror game or just a decent adventure game then you cannot really go wrong here. Just do not buy it expecting the same thing as Resident Evil once was, because you certainly will not find that here.

Think of an adventure game, combined with a little bit of Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and that is Curse, albeit not as good as either of them.
