Alan Wake is mission-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful story line unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn. Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against terrifying enemies. In this nightmarish world, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the creatures of darkness light itself.

- 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.

The collectors edition of this game is the perfect showcase for a game that has quite frankly the highest production values that I've ever encountered.
While somewhat lacking in originality of control and trailing behind the likes of Bioshock in terms of immersion, the story that is told is well polished reminding me of an episode of Supernatural. Additionally every facet has clearly benefited from careful playtesting and balancing to deliver constant challenge without ever feeling unfair. I have yet to find a single glitch in this game after two playthroughs.
I would thoroughly recommend this game, and in particular the collectors edition as this gets you the soundtrack which features some truly excellent original songs.
This game is amazing, it has a great storyline and great characters, the graphics are awesome and the gameplay is perfect, the light combat system is amazing and its new, its not like a repeat of any old game such as an ordinary FPS, this game is definatly worth buying! i recommend it to anyone and everyone!
What a brilliant game cant recommend it enough the story has to be the best Ive every seen from a game just like watching a great TV show.
Just buy it you wont be disappointed!
Alan wake was a long time coming and it was certainly worth the wait the graphics are beautiful but some of the animations could of been a little better but apart from a few minor glitches it is a real contender for best looking Xbox 360 game. The game play is solid and the mechanics of fighting the darkness work very well.
The story is superb the characters are well rounded and the game feels like a way out episode of the X Files or the outer limits. The collectors edition is the best value for money set I have purchased so far and well worth the 49.99 especially with the added bonus of a free DLC episode later in the year.
Pros great atmospheric story gorgeous graphics thoughtful characters and nice touches such as the radio or TV spots find them all I recommend it.
Cons too short with a few weak animations especially in the cut scenes.
