Description

Bringing a new style of storytelling to Xbox 360, "Alan Wake" is a psychological action thriller from Remedy, the renowned developers of the successful "Max Payne" series. In this dynamic new title exclusively for Xbox 360, players assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling suspense author suffering from writer's block, who escapes to a small town only to experience the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée.

Set in the deceptively idyllic town of Bright Falls, Wash., "Alan Wake" immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to explore the hyper-realistic and interactive environments. "Alan Wake" is mission-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful storyline unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn.

Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against terrifying enemies. In this nightmarish world, where fantasy and reality collide, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the darkness — light itself.

Intense psychological thriller. "Alan Wake" delivers a deeply psychological and finely crafted plot that raises the bar for storytelling in video games. The riveting story of "Alan Wake" is propelled by a movie-like atmosphere, compelling situations, memorable characters and real-time pacing. Remedy has a record of creating and developing games with unique cinematic presentation and exceptionally high production values.
Light as a combat element. As Wake journeys deeper into the mystery of Bright Falls, the shadows close in around him. When darkness descends, light becomes his only ally as he fights his way to daybreak. . This poses a severe problem for Alan Wake since his enemies seemingly gain strength from the shadows, and before long, light itself becomes his greatest ally. Players must skillfully combine their use of light with more conventional weapons to stand a chance.
Realistic, interactive environment. Set in the town of Bright Falls, the hyper-detailed environments of the Pacific Northwest play an important role; even the change in daylight and weather will profoundly affect the characters and enemies in "Alan Wake." The game's advanced rendering engine provides amazingly realistic environments that bring this world to detailed life — from the lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings and streets. The world of "Alan Wake" is alive and real.
Episodic narrative. The mission-based structure of "Alan Wake" creates an episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured dramatic television series, such as Twin Peak and X-Files. As the episodes progress, gameplay will evolve to introduce new elements and characters, escalating the level of threat and action in the game.

Awesome Thriller

"Allan Wake" is a Mystery/Thriller game like you have never played before. It doesn't focus that much on fighting or upgrading weapons and abilities but creating an atmosphere that envelopes you into the games reality. The game is built like a series and this makes it so appealing because after each episode , you want to know how it concludes. If you are into thrillers, then this a game you should look into.

Alan Wake, Definately Worth a Look

I've just finished my first playthrough of Alan Wake and can say that is an enjoyable experience, one of the better single player campaigns I've played of late. The story has been broken up into 6 episodes as if you are watching a mini tv series, at the beginning of each you get a cool 'Previously on Alan Wake' run down of what has gone before. The graphics, sound, and score are generally excellent, the environment has been beautifully created and the sonics all add to the spooky nature of the game. The exception is the lip syncing which is dire, like watching Cadet Jones on Police Academy throw his voice, unbelievable. The combat system is good, shining light on the enemy to break the 'Darkness' before filling them with lead, reminds me a bit of the sequence in Gears of War where you destroy the flying locust swarm with the light on the tank. The campaign feels about the right length and is paced well, never feeling too short or long.

Great Xbox exclusive.

Alan wake must be one of the best games so far to come out of the industry for 2010. It has great graphics, great storyline and the unique tool of light against the darkness of the taken. loved every moment and plot twist, worth every penny. not given 5* only because of the poor lip-sync and fairly slow start but picks up and is so worth it when you get into the body of the game.

Darkness is your enemy

Alan Wake is a best selling author who is forced to swap his pen for a gun on a mission to save his wife from a story he has written but has no memory of. Carrying a light source in your left hand you weaken your enemies before killing them, you will soon learn that its best to stay in the light. Though it can be annoying losing your weapons every hour and with no real memorable moments this is a game with such great storytelling and a haunting atmosphere you will be sucked into this 12 hour adventure untill the very end.

Tainted perfection

Alan Wake really is a fantastic game, I had my doubts about it after hearing a few negative things but I bought it and was completely hooked on it. The story and gameplay are fantastic, the tension and atmosphere is on a level that is rarely seen in video games. This really is a great game and one you must own, at under £20 its an absolute steal. 10/10

Excellent horror game/film

I loved this game from the start, has some great characters, excellent story, brilliant yet terrifying special effects and top graphics. I've not been engaged in such a games since playing the early silent hill and resident evil games. Plays out like a stephen king movie and you sometimes wonder whether your playing a game or watching a film- its that good. The graphics are dark and atmospheric and some brilliant use of light- especially the torch and weapon firing effects. I was looking forward to this game around 3/4 years ago but it kept getting delayed but was well worth the wait! Great game, if you like your horror films, silent hill and resident evil games your going to love this! Best game i've played in some time!

Alan Wake has arrived and with him absolute masterpiece

I can honestly say this game is wow and wow again. When I was first heard about this game I thought that looks good, maybe I'll try it. But when they showed more and more trailers, I was pretty sure that I would buy the game. And after I bought it, I would like to congratulate Remedy on creating such a great masterpiece. The game graphics and film atmosphere are on the top of the all tops. The game consist of 6 episodes (on hard difficutly it takes about 2 hours to finish one) so it has the usual game time. None of the episode makes you feel that you are playing something that you have played before. They vary in every aspect they can. During night you fight for your life, during day you try to find out what is happening in the city and mostly what is happening with you ... I can honestly say that this game far exceeded my expectations and is MUST have game for this generation of consoles.

mesmerising

If you like horror or Steven King, this will blow you away. Its all about atmosphere, and you wont have a clue what has hit you. One word of warning though, DO NOT PLAY IT ALONE AT NIGHT OR YOU MAY SUFFER AN ACCIDENT

The best game of 2010!!!

It is a game with a cinematographic narrative of pleasant mas ... that leaves you with desire of mas in every chapter, which it does that you do not want to give up the control to continue accompanying Alan in his search ... with charismatic prominent figures to mas not to be able ... each one in his paper ... a sonorous band totally guessed right amazing and beautiful ... mention separates the epic detail dubbing ... that the actors do an excellent work.The totally guessed right jugabilidad ... a personage overwhelmed by the darkness, who gets tired of walking and walking and running, that is not expert at shooting weapon ... perfect ... and that to say of the graphical paragraph ... one of the games mas beasts in the graphical aspect if it is not the fact that mas ... in xbox 360 ... his detailed one and the animations of the environment are impressive ... even with the burden it is inevitable he remains an unemployed person turning the chamber observing all the details ... so much by day since by night it is a spectacle...
