Alan Wake - Game Review | Xbox 360 Game Reviews | Forum

From the beginning of the game tutorial mode makes it clear to us the atmosphere of the game, a dark atmosphere, at least for the night clear.
Going a bit in history, Alan Wake is a writer, who for years could not write anything for lack of inspiration, because it decides to take a vacation to the quiet village of Brigh Falls, is where everything will start not explain Moreover, the rest is something worth finding out yourself.

The overall game is very linear, but do not think this is bad, far from reality, if it is true that sometimes is lacking a little more freedom, but it is something that obscures the final result.

The phases of the game takes place in two clearly differentiated intermittent phases.

The phases of day: In these phases, all you can do is look at history (not little) in them there will be no monsters to kill, a welcome respite from some players.
The problem is that these phases are too short compared to the night, which are much larger.

Night phases: In these phases will be where the action center, the''darkness''try to kill you, you should stop your flashlight and the few resources you can find along the way.

The story is told in a very peculiar way, going from one chapter to another will see a label which reads: Final Chapter X, and when we return to the game will tell us what happened in the previous chapter, you will come to love u hate the words: Previously on Alan Wake …

When the sun goes down …
The combat system is simple, yet complex, to kill the enemy possessed by the darkness must weaken with the flashlight, press LT focus with flashlight, rápidadmente weaken enemies, but also batteries wear out quickly.
Once the enemy is weakened the enemy should attack him with a firearm.

There will also be possessed objects, these only weaken the flashlight we do not have to shoot them.

We will not focus on the game, but the flashlight get a similar effect.

Scenarios scattered points of light where we can heal and protect us from the darkness.

Light and Darkness

Graphically Alan Wake complies in all respects, is not a new exponent graph, but this game fulfills perfectly, you can not blame anything on this aspect except the echo of the game is not enough HD, that is normally not enough 720p.

Where Alan Wake is graphically highlighting the effects of light, the best in this generation of consoles.

As for the sound, the game has a soundtrack sublime, as to dub, to say it, the best that can be found in video games, doublers of high quality and technology when the lips move not yet having been no big deal, thanks.

In short, Alan Wake is a game that everyone should try, and, despite having a fun gameplay has its strong point in history, an epic and unforgettable story, worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster.
