    Alan Wake
    The wort advertisement for energizer of all time
    Alan wake is a 3d person action horror game where you play as Alan wake, an author who goe on a little vacation with his wife, only for the pages of his manuscrips to start becoming reality in this cabin town..
    The story here is the absolute best part of this grown up version of luigis mansion.. told cross 7 hours and 6 episodes.. eveyr character in this wold has you intrigued, wanting to solve their mysteries… alan wake does suffer from pacing problems, but only slightly.. for the most part the pacing is great as youll get a nice calm beginning at the beginning of each new episode, until eventually its night time.. youll be taking on these dark ghost like ratures that like in luigis mansion, you have to shine your flash light on them to make them vulnerable, but instead of sucking them up, you blast them away.. going from lamp post to lmap post, healing yourself and getting to a checkpoint.. and levels here are super linear, but in a great way.. the game gets to the point in delivering you its experience, youre not running around not knowing what to do.. you know what to do.. where it is you have to go to do it.. and I love it.. especially with how games are now, obsessed with wasting your time just to say their game is 100 hours long.. its nice to play through a game with no filler… most of the game does take place in the foret, which brings me to the pacing problems… I do love that despit taking place in the same setting for most of the game, they manage to make the forest feel different enough each time youre in it… but I felt like youre thrown into combat way too frequentloy, and the combat is just so unfun how how often it happens.. again you have to flash enemies with yur flashlight before you can shoot them.. so youll be running around collectin nergizer batteries to try and blast their faces, but the batteries last like 3 seconds before they need recharged.. why would energizer want their named attachd to rechargeable batteries that die in 3 sconds… combat is just annoying and frustrating.. I also would run into issues after id collect the shotgun where the game would stop shooting, but I did play on pc.. cant confirm if this is a known issue on xbox.. but another annoyance I have with this game is how often alan loses all of your guns and ammo you spend time collecting… im the type of person to save my good stuff when when I need it.. in alan wake, if you have it, use it because for all you know youre about to get in a car crash for the 27th time and lose verything you have… youre constantly having to recollect your gear as the story plays out.. its annoying for again how ffrequent combat is..
    Ovrall though Alan Wake is a really special game with an amazing story.. it isn’t necessarily scary, but its erie and creepy, and definitely worth going back and playing.
    I give Alan Wake
    an 8.5/10

    While not the best shooter if it's time, the game is a glory to play for any fans of horror writers. No one will really be getting cheap jump scares in this, it's all tension and a feel of oppressive terror. If you're particularly good with shooters, starting immediately with the hardest difficulty will have you challenged and sometimes flat out running away, but generally successful.While not the best shooter if it's time, the game is a glory to play for any fans of horror writers.

    The only downside of the game in my experience was a couple sections where the camera seemed to be unable to center on my character, leaving my open to attack, but the obvious answer of moving out of the corner worked wonders.

    Music was very appropriate and soundtrack available from the game menu will have you playing a couple of your favorites after you've unlocked them in your game.

    If you've bought a game like the Evil Within and felt disappointed, I'd highly recommend trying Alan Wake, it does everything right where EW went wrong.

    For sure if you are into Stephen King's stories or Twin Peaks, this is THE game for you. A wonderful mystery thriller mixed with really satisfying action elements. After 7 years it's release I still tend to replay it every year. I truly hope Remedy will continue Alan's story as it left us with many questions unanswered.

    A twisty 3rd person shooter that combines The Twilight Zone with Northern Exposure. From the creators of Max Payne, the game takes the form of episodic television. It's a smartly written yarn with sharp graphics and enjoyable (if repetitive) gameplay. Fans of Silent Hill should get a kick out of this. I would rate this with an 8.3 out of 10.

    At first I thought it was just your regular horror game. But the way they tell the story and the game play is very intense. You are safe at the light and are in danger in the dark. Your only weapon is a flash light and a gun. You have to make do with what you have. Like reserving bullets and battery and such. When you don't have any battery the situation just got more intense.

Every moment of this story is fraught with tension. Wake's narration is filled with as many questions as answers because he has no explanation for the strange events occurring all around him. And the missing pieces from the manuscript, radio program, and television show are doled out in such deliberate chunks that they slowly string you along until the full secret is revealed at the end. The clever storytelling ties in with the dreary atmosphere, building on the fear established from the very beginning with subtle use of lighting and a moody musical score. Unfortunately, the path you march down rarely offers any surprises, which makes your actions take on a by-rote feeling after a while.

    Сюжет запутанный, вообще по началу не понятно где происходят "сумеречные" события игры, наяву или в воображении Алана.
    Картинка не плохая для того времени. Действие слоу мо изменили по сравнению с Max Payne. Теперь это происходит во время уворотов, а не когда захочется.
    Враги как по мне скучноваты. Почти все, за редким исключением, это зомбированные жители городка Брайт-Фоллс окутанные тьмой.
    Геймплей немного изменился. Теперь для того что бы нанести урон противнику, надо "вывести его из тьмы" светом фонаря, а только затем расстрелять. Патронов теперь маловато, приходится искать и экономить.
    Атмосфера в игре есть, но лично мне она показалась жидковатой, в отличие от первого Max Payne где она была густой как сметана.
    Итак итог. Игра в принципе мне понравилась и я хочу попробовать её ещё разок на PS4

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alan Wake feels like a Stephen King story with less complex horror and a little comedy. The game looks very good for a 2010 Xbox 360 game, although the character models look a little outdated. The story is a little confusing, but not as bad as Control's weird story. Alan's movement was better than I remember but the car controls felt stiff and like a PS2 game. Some of the characters that were there for comic relief were probably my least favorite part of the game, but some of the jokes they told were still pretty funny. Darkness being your enemy isn't a new concept, but Alan Wake makes it feel brand new, by making the darkness possess people from the town and turn them against you. Episode 6, the final episode of the game, was to get to Cauldron Lake but that pretty boring but felt rewarding when I beat it. The soundtrack is absolutely perfect, especially the original songs made for the game. I would highly recommend you to play this game. Expand

Music , presentation , eerie sounds, everything feels alive.

There were too many times when I ended the level totally stocked up on supplies, sure that whatever came at me I’d be totally able to handle. It took away a bit from the suspense and fear of what might be around the corner—if the supplies had been more limited and the challenges a little more difficult, this would have been a real nail-biter. I played on Normal difficulty.

    With that being said, I loved the story (it was like playing a good Stephen King novel), the graphics were fabulous especially for 2010, the music was creepy and nailed the right tone, and the gameplay was based on good ideas and executed well (with the aforementioned caveat).

    A hearty recommendation from me. This was a really, really good time.

    Increíble y absorbente, la forma en como te cuenta su historia el juego es muy buena y los personajes tienen sus personalidades muy bien definidas

  1. Alan Wake is finally here, and it's as good as we expected. Rich environments, great story, superb gameplay, many areas to explore, interesting characters... A great game that is not the ambitious project Remedy wanted it to be, but it's glorious anyway.
  2. Alan Wake lacks that little spark of genious that distinguishes a good game from a masterpiece, an H.P. Lovecraft from your average Stephen King.
  3. While its not the generation defining game the epic development schedule might've hyped, Alan Wake is still a fantastic, 10-hour-plus play-it-on-the-couch linear action game - with brains required or not depending on your preference.
