THE UGLY
The game's ending was down-right terrible. Dev clearly lost all interest, except saving his muse, the Melinda character over to the next game.
the "mountain" in the game's title is surely "Mt. Grind", it is is as terrible to climb as my fellow reviewers put it. You spend hours mindlessly repeating the actions to get to the next stage. Really awful.. it makes the game longer than the content is worth and I can only urge the devs to tone it down a notch for the next game..
THE BAD
Another problem this game has - like most non-linear, sand-box games do - is that the progress is not shared, in one scene, a girl may allow you to massage her boobs and in the next she is still a saint. Probably cannot be avoided, but is funny/irritating/frustrating.
3rdly, the game's narrative (investigate the murder of your parents), never progressed terribly far. Characters develop marginally, and you hardly loose points, even for terrible behavior.
Also, the English isbad, but tolerable (if you are not an English teacher)
THE GOOD
The renders are crisp and beautiful. You even see the laundry symbol in Melinda's thong, never before have I seen such attention to details. The dialogues and scenes are good - and it just has that magic sauce; for whatever reason you are hooked and just want to find a way to bang the girls senselessly.
just stop before the game ends and make up your own. Seriously, its that bad.
