Thread: Alan Wake

Anyone tried this one yet?

I loved Max Payne and was really looking forward to this, but am pretty pissed now that it wasn't released for PC.

I watched a few gameplay videos and it looks quite stellar, especially the cinematic approach, attractive storyline and immersive environment. So I'm actually thinking to buy the XBOX to play this baby, but want to hear more before I'm disappointed.

Thoughts?

I have it, but barely played it. It was pretty good in the short amount of time I put into it. I've read the single player is pretty short, but with the DLC coming soon, it'll expand.

The thing that grabbed my attention was that it's highly influenced by Twin Peaks. Also, the concept of writer trying to regain his creative flow clearly reminds of Shining ...

I rented it from gamefly. It definitely has a twin peaks kind of vibe. But I was not terribly impressed with it, the story is so-so and there are no real surprises as you find out what is going to happen through the course of the game. Its ok, but I would give it a 6.5-7. It is not worth buying an xbox for in my opinion.
