runescapeloser22 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 So I just got Alan Wake today (...), and I have to say that this is one of the best games I've played in a while. I've played through the first Episode and it's amazing. The only complaint I have so far is that the animation in the cut scenes is kinda bleh, and considering how much story means in this game, I'd expect the cut scenes to look nicer. Here's what I've learned so far (I had no prior knowledge to this game before getting it, aside from knowing it was a highly anticipated game), you play as a character named Alan Wake who's married to Alice Wake. Alan is a writer who seems to be very popular, and him and his wife go on vacation to a town called Bright Falls. This is after he has a nightmare of course. His wife is terrified of the dark, and so when the power goes out in their cabin, something happens. Alan wakes up in a car with his wife missing, and he makes his way to a gas station while fighting off monsters called "The Taken", and along the way you collect pages of a book which seem to predict the future. You also collect batteries for your flashlight, ammo / weapons, coffee thermoses, radio stations, and other things. You call the police at the gas station and they bring you to a doctor. Then it brings you back 3 years to Alan's life in New York with his wife. That's where I stopped. I love this game so far :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dax Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I saw me a review for this. Looked good, but it's 360 exclusive, right? #KERR2016/17/18/19/20/21. #rpgformod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevepole Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 It's out? I've been looking forward to this game for some time now. How long does it take to beat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkDude Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 It's out? I've been looking forward to this game for some time now. How long does it take to beat? About 10 hours or so? Probably a bit less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevepole Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 I'll definitely be picking it up used then. Thats way to short in my books to spend $60 on a brand new copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire_Wolf Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I was at a friend's house when i played Alan Wake on his 360. It's really a good game if not great. I like the story and hope for next sequal. To bad i got PS3, but i will catch the sequal on Youtube. The game was easy, but fear building up in my core was hard to avoid. I recommend Alan Wake for people who like crime and horror genre and a good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
