First of all, really good review. I have no commentary on the review itself as it's fine in every way (try harder to suck next time if you want comments).
I do have to express my crushing disappointment that the game doesn't live up... not to what I thought it would be, I thought it would suck, but to that opening atmosphere you describe (again, good one on your part, to make me want the game to be good).
I'm tired of developers ruining their games with poor gameplay or unimaginative gameplay (in this case both... a magical ice pick? Fuck off. Seriously). This game sounds like it could've been great if they'd made the spirits invulnerable and just things you had to avoid drawing the attention of while you climbed this mountain.

Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."
