Features
Intense psychological thriller: Alan Wake delivers a deeply
psychological and finely crafted plot that raises the bar for storytelling in
video games. The riveting story of "Alan Wake" is propelled by a movie-like
atmosphere, compelling situations, memorable characters and real-time pacing.
Remedy has a record of creating and developing games with unique cinematic
presentation and exceptionally high production values.
Light as a combat element: As Wake journeys deeper into the mystery of
Bright Falls, the shadows close in around him. When darkness descends, light
becomes his only ally as he fights his way to daybreak. . This poses a severe
problem for Alan Wake since his enemies seemingly gain strength from the
shadows, and before long, light itself becomes his greatest ally. Players must
skillfully combine their use of light with more conventional weapons to stand a
chance.
Realistic, interactive environment: Set in the town of Bright Falls, the
hyper-detailed environments of the Pacific Northwest play an important role,
even the change in daylight and weather will profoundly affect the characters
and enemies in "Alan Wake." The game's advanced rendering engine provides
amazingly realistic environments that bring this world to detailed life - from
the lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings and
streets. The world of "Alan Wake" is alive and real.
Episodic narrative: The mission-based structure of "Alan Wake" creates an
episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured dramatic television series,
such as Twin Peak and X-Files. As the episodes progress, gameplay will evolve to
introduce new elements and characters, escalating the level of threat and action
in the game.

Product Reviews
A long time coming
5 years in the making, we finally see Alan Wake on our own TV screens. I have been playing this for a couple of days now and I really like the look and story fell of the game.
It just goes to show what you can still get in terms of visual results from the Xbox 360, the gameplay looks fantastic. You can play this game in two ways. You can either run past everything and complete things really quickly, or, you can get involved with the game and its story and enjoy what the producers have taken years to put together.
