Mar 10, 2012Great story that has a compelling characters, great voice acting, and the greatest light effect i have seen in a game. But the controls are a little bit bad, the lips aren't sync up right with the voice acting and the coffee thermostats collectibles, are a little bit ridiculous, but a great game for only the Xbox 360 and Games For Windows.

Aug 9, 2012The gameplay is pretty shallow, but I liked story and graphics. I've quit that jump'n'run orgy after 2-3 hours. I would recommend it to fans of the genre.
-
Aug 24, 2012Great survival horror game. Gets a bit repetitive at some times, but the story keeps the action going.Unfortunately the real story only concludes in the DLC, which is kind of an abuse, but it's a great game nonetheless.

Aug 6, 2014I really enjoyed this game. It wasn't all that scary and the story wasn't the most coherent, but it's one of those games where everything seems to mesh really well together. It's got a nice creepy Twin Peaks kind of vibe, fun combat, and a bunch of thermoses (thermi?) to collect. Certainly doesn't reinvent any wheels, but the wheels on this game roll just fine.

Jun 1, 2013nailed the atmosphere of a decent horror novel and if your a Stephen king fan or a twin peaks fan. this is for you. also any fan of horror and story telling. there is not much verity in enemy's but the game does not outstay its welcome.

Jun 19, 2013It was fun, it just got a bit old to me. The story was interesting, but the whole time I did not know where it was trying to go with it. To honest none of the characters were really memorable. It was fun but I would have to say there are many other games that Xbox has to offer that are way better.

Aug 20, 2020Mi videojuego favorito de la generación X360/PS3/Wii. Lo recomiendo sĆ o sĆ. La historia atrapa y engancha hasta el final y difĆcilmente la olvidas sobre todo si amas el gĆ©nero Thriller/Terror.

Nov 14, 2013I enjoyed this game on my Xbox 360 back when I purchased it from Gamestop. I give this game a good review of 9.3 out of 10. I can recommend you to buy this.

May 28, 2014One of the first games i played on my Xbox 360. I just was like WOW so great games are on a console. I loved story and gameplay ! Remedy can make something like that on a new console as well !
-
Jun 9, 2014Immersing game. Its rich atmosphere brings you into a complex and dark environment. Its almost a movie game. It would be 10, if it was possible to interact with the NPC's and to walk into different endings.
-
Jun 10, 2014Este juego es una de las primeras veces que te sientes como parte de una serie, su estructura por capĆtulos asĆ como su interĆ©s a nivel narrativo asĆ lo demuestra, lo malo es que la jugabilidad no estĆ” a la altura y de hecho casi parece molestar. Tal vez para comprarlo en grandes rebajas y si te interesa la narrativa.

Jun 17, 2014Love the freaky atmosphere and mind-f*ck mystery/supernatural/thriller story line. Shooting bad guys can get a bit monotonous but it's worth it to get to the end.

Apr 1, 2020Alan Wake is an amazing game! It's great experience. Not perfect but unusual! Thanks for developers!
-
Dec 27, 2022This game is mediocre. Stephen King wanna be plot and repetitive, unremarkable gameplay. The game is also glitchy. Don't bother. Play something from Resident Evil instead.

Jun 20, 2020O jogo tem uma pegada dark muito boa, te envolve na história, tem inspirações do Stephen King o rei do terror, tem personagens interesssantes e a forma como o jogo é narrado é um show Ô parte, um ótimo trabalho da Remedy neste game.

May 11, 2017For 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.

Apr 13, 2018Its may 2018 and i still keep coming back to this game. One of the best video games I ever played. Masterpiece. Amazing story and soundtrack.
-
Apr 10, 2020A 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.

May 22, 2021Mr. Wake! I'm your biggest fan! I know everyone says it but I really am) Best game in x360 for me)

Aug 30, 2019O jogo é sensacional, o melhor jogo da remedy que eu jÔ joguei, isso é jogo bom e não aquele jogo fraco do quantum break e control, duas porcarias, era para ter feito u Alan wake 2 e não o jogo flopado quantum break, que não vendeu nada, pena que essa empresa incompetente, chamada Microsoft prefere fazer jogo lixo de baixo orçamento pra dar a 1 real no gamepass, lamentÔvel

Jan 3, 2021Amazing game. Remedy continues their Max-Payne like dark style of story-telling. Great atmosphere , very alive cutscenes , considering 2010 HW limitations. Music , presentation , eerie sounds, everything feels alive. There are some flaws in combat system , but i easily forgot them , being caught by plot and "something-extraordinary-should-happen-right-now" feeling.

Jun 7, 2020One of the best stories ever made in the game industry. Movie like scenario, quite perfect. But in downside it is sometimes making you feel stucked in the same thing over and over again.

Aug 3, 2020Hay buenas ideas y una propuesta ambiciosa que sin embargo agota sus recursos demasiado pronto hasta caer en la repetición. Todo parece conducir hacia un lugar mÔs interesante del que finalmente es, pero es digno de valorar el talento de Remedy dando forma al que sigue siendo su mejor trabajo.
-
Oct 25, 2020Played it in 2020. That was exiting experience: interesting storyline, creepy inventory and cool narrative. The gameplay hasn't aged well, and the control is quite poor, but it's a great game for all the game pass members.
-
Jan 29, 2021A great story, good gameplay and a great idea. Yet, I can't consider this game is on the same level as the classics. Still recommend everyone to play it!

Mar 23, 2021Gostei bastante, da História e da gameplay só falto a legenda em pt-br joguei pelo gamepass

Apr 5, 2021Un juego con historia excelente, de lo mejor y muy entretenida y pensada, te deja sin palabras la forma narrativa de Departure y como se relaciona con el juego. El apartado musical genial. GrƔficamente es bueno pero no excelente y en la jugabilidad a veces se hace un poco repetitivo enfrentar a los enemigos.

Feb 28, 2023Excellent atmosphere and style, if only the writing doesn't constantly fall flat, along with the incredibly boring protagonist.

Feb 17, 2022Probably my favorite action game of all time! Perfect in every way! Wish they would have came out with a part 2 on the 360.

Mar 13, 2022This game is one of my favorite Xbox 360 games for a reason. The gameplay is well thought out, the graphics are still good and the episode structured story is masterful. There are only few game studios that can craft interesting and thought-provoking games with the same quality as Remedy. Alan Wake is an underrated piece of art and a must-have for everyone.
-
Nov 26, 2022A awesome game I like it many times I had seen this in the digital store and never really gave heed until one day I did and when I did I fell for the hysteria and wake of the game then I found out this story was 14yrs in the making and is connected to other franchises awesome game remedy are masters of there art

Jul 7, 2023There's really nothing like it, yes it's strange and the line delivering from the characters are intentionally blocky, but this game nails atmosphere like no other! Scarier than any Resident Evil or Dead Space, despite the lack of any gore. A must play!
-
Mar 20, 2023Interesting story and decent combat. There's not much to say about this game.
-
Jul 21, 2023If there was "Stephen King, the Video Game," this would be it. A thriller/horror/shooter that may not have aged extremely well, but was a standout at it's release.
-
Sep 9, 2023IncreĆble y absorbente, la forma en como te cuenta su historia el juego es muy buena y los personajes tienen sus personalidades muy bien definidas
Awards & Rankings
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
