About this product

Product Information

Finland's Remedy Entertainment delivers this "psychological thriller" action-adventure, which follows a popular horror novelist through his darkest nightmares. Mourning a vanished lover and beset by insomnia, Alan Wake has lost his best source of creative inspiration: his dreams. He retreats to the little Pacific Northwest town of Bright Falls, where the horrors he once saw in his sleep seem to become real. Mission by mission, the player guides the character to explore these eerie stories as they come alive in the isolated coastal village.<br><br>Alan Wake shares more with its predecessors than a vague pun in the title character's name. As in the studio's Max Payne, the hero's nightmares yield shadowy monsters to battle and surreal mysteries to unravel, mostly from an action-oriented, third-person perspective. The missions in Alan Wake weave continuously through the horror writer's visions as well as through the "real" world, where the lonely village of Bright Falls offers little solace. And although he gains access to a revolver, hunting rifle, and increasingly deadly shotguns, Alan Wake's most useful weapon may be his flashlight, as darkness seems to be the source of all his nightmarish troubles.

    Remedy's Departure from Max

    If you've played Max Payne (1 and 2), then you will quickly spot the similarities with Alan Wake's gameplay and environment. Even though Remedy tried to get as far from Max as they could, they only changed the food coloring and left the remaining recipe the same. That't not necessarily a bad thing either. Gameplay-wise, I think it may actually be incredibly close to The Evil Within. At least from the gunplay and mechanical fights perspective. Controls, animations, and (to a certain degree) writing is reminiscent of Remedy's earlier work. At any rate, Alan Wake is a fun game and its story is compelling enough. There are obvious parts of ridiculous overacting, but it's serviceable. The only real hit this game takes is in the action gameplay which did not age particular well. Alan Wake as a character controls like someone on the verge of falling over dead. Maybe it's due to all the coffee the guy consumes and then subsequently loses his mind. In the end, I'd recommend it. If nothing else, it stays somewhat true to Remedy's grittier and edgier past.

    Good Game but not great.

    After been a PS2,3,4 Owner for so long, I always wanted to play the best that the Xbox had to offer. That chance came when I bought a used cheap Xbox and Alan Wake. Man, after so many people comparing this game to Sony's The Last of US, I just had to try it. Don't get me wrong the game is fun and a very good one. But, it lacks in many departments. Graphic is good, I'll give it a 8. The game play is good but gets very repetitive. Same O same O backdrop. After playing it a few days, couple hours a day, I was looking forward to finish it. It doesn't come close to The Last of US.

  • Boring run 'n gun with delusions of depth

    This is not a profound mystery, a creepy thriller, or even a well-written by-the-numbers story. You know the ending of "2001: A Space Odyssey" and how it doesn't make sense but people said it was deep because they didn't understand it? Yeah, it's like that. Additionally, the graphics are surprisingly dated (even for a 2010 game), the mechanics are wonky, the enemies will cheap-shot you repeatedly, and no NPC you meet is at all interesting. Obviously, your mileage may vary, but I say, save your money. Please.

  • Thrilling game!!!

    I'm having fun playing it so far. It's a kinda confusing and mysterious game. You have to pay attention and try to make sense of the story yourself, Piece by piece. Really scary and fun game.

  • Alan Wake Xbox 360

    Intense and very interesting game. Best played while alone in a dark environment to keep you on the edge of your seat. One of the best games, by far.

  • Story Driven Action Horror

    The game can become a bit repetitive regarding all the shooting and running. Story is well done though as is in game mechanics and runs smoothly.
