Fun, but not up to expectation [Posted on 2005-07-05]
The premise is cool enough. You climb the highest peak on each of the 7 continents, each one increasing in difficulty. You must purchase the service of climbers, "train" them by spending more money, and buy gear like rope, oxygen, medical kits, and several other items. Once you figure it out, the game is very easy. You just have to re-climb mountains many times to increase your climbers' stats. Here's where the game falls short: The mountains bear no resemblance whatsoever to their real life counterparts. The mountains are merely a series of short obstacles, and periodic camps let the climber basically fully recover. Don't expect an epic, logistical nightmare, or accurate representation of the challenges of these mountains. On the plus side, the graphics and game control are excellent, and it does make a fun novelty for rainy-weather days and armchair mountaineers.
