I brought this a couple of months ago off ebay, and I haven't actually got around to finishing it just yet, because of Black Ops lol. But I'm close enough to know its a worth while expenditure. Following Max Payne, this follows the same gritty dark storytelling, and is basixally abou a writer, called Alan Wake, who takes a vacation with his wife, who then gets kidnapped and spooky stuff starts happening. The story telling is fine enough. Whilst a bit undercovered in parts, there's just enough info to let you pick up the gist of whats going on, if you care really. The characteres are likeable enough, espcially Barry, Al's publiscist and best friend. Al himself is pretty agreeable. What I like about the game is that it goes out of the way of the usual cliches of reptitive scenery with respawing enemys everywhere, and replaces it with a nice almost open sandbox enviroment that has plenty of fun easter eggs, espcially the Bright Falls (a spoof of the Twighlight Zone) tv show you can watch. Am I a man who dreamt of being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly dreaming that I am a man? ask one show. I dunno the anwser, but what do I do know is that the other thing I like is the random catch phrases the enemy come up, which are cynically delightful. This, and the way the game is broken up into several episodes each with their own intro and ending like a tb show makes for a nice presentation overall. What is broken down, and frustates the game, is the poor camera, which hovers behind Al but often at a crummy angle, often meaning that you will only know someone is behind you when hes swung an axe at you a few times. This, and how hard it is to dodge an attack at times, espcially when swarmed, does not help at all, and complimented with a compass that can be a bit meaningless at times means you will find yourself restarting a few sections and wandering around a fair bit too. But the storyline is intriguing enough that you find yourself persitiing nontheless, and so whilst the physics of the game may not be all up to scratch, it draws you enough that you find yourself not caring at timesVollständige Rezension lesen
Eerie and atmospheric classic game. Third person makes it less of a challenge but still engaging game play.

I've been wanting to play Alan Wake for a long time and now I can finally play one of the greatest games of the 2010s

Ssscaaaaaary, well, Alan Wake's voice that is. The game didn't get the best if reviews probably because it took almost five years to release. The game looks amazing, plays brilliantly and blends reality and fiction perfectly. Excellent game for an excellent price. 9/10
I have completed this game before, unfortunately I swapped it but regretted it so I went to my fave ebay and bought it back for a better deal. I love this game, it's very scary and thrilling and I will not be swapping it again.
