SteamboatWi11y Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I have been curious about this game for quite some time, I'm not a huge survival horror genre player, I have been a gamer long enough to have played some of the classics, Resident Evils, Silent Hill 1 and 2, etc... Anyway I had seen videos and ads back when this was first released but was never sure about if I would enjoy playing it. So I was looking to get some opinions, if this is worth a buy. Im not into games of this style that require you play a multiplayer mode or do a co-op online story run either (no I havent checked the achievement list yet to see if it has either so please forgive me) so I was hoping to get some honest opinions, and some pros and cons about this game. Thanks in advance for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rep Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I highly recommend you buying it. I rented it the first time, played a week, then ended up buying it. It doesn't have multiplayer or co-op in it and the story takes around 8-10 hours to complete. There are also some extra DLC that IS worth buying to keep you going.

Blizzard-1 Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 The collectors edition comes with "The Signal" DLC included. I picked it up in the UK a few months back for £19.99. Enjoyed the game more than i thought i would, not too difficult and not a huge amount of collectibles, playing through again on the hardest setting was much easier and enjoyable than i thought it would be.

mentaljason Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Any new copy of the game has The Signal DLC included, not just Collectors Edition. This is a great game, definitely one of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for the replies By now you should be able to find it low enough in price that it is absolutely worth it. It was a really fun game, but I wouldn't really compare it to RE or SH. Alan Wake isn't really survival horror. More suspense action thriller. Don't let the 8-10 hour gameplay fool you. If you go for all the achievements it'll take longer than that. And the DLC is definitely worth it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habs14 Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I got the game for $20 and I really enjoyed it. The story was really good and it was something different that Ive never played before. I really liked it and can't wait for the second one to come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m00nyoze Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Just picked it up for ten bucks at Kmart. Awesome game, great story, and a lot of chills each time I play. Easily worth more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matheusbacha Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 I guess the best part of the game is the story, I'm really hooked! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadsea17 4 ever Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Yes you should I got a code for it for free and I loved it. I got to the third level then got side tracked from my friends borrowed Gears of War 3 game, but it is awesome. It honestly was the best game I've played in years. the graphics and sound are stunning and it truly is like your living through a horror book. Its only 17$ at Gamestop now, get it.

gtaskiso Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 You can still find a limited edition at low price which is worth it for all you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr 50 50z Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I give it a solid 8/10. Definitely an underrated game. It has a intense story and cool graphics, but sometimes the gameplay is a bit...annoying at times. The DLC was not worth your money though, even if it gave us some "answers"..

gtaskiso Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I think any story related DLC is worth if you really enjoyed a game and want some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whill Wheaton Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I think story related DLC is better than multiplayer DLC 99% of the time in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaylaTheAwesome Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Alan Wake is an awesome game with unique qualities and unexpected scares. I loved it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorman953 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I found that the DLC was really really good. There were platforming sections that weren't present at all, and remotely jarring considering the normal gameplay; but all of these qualms were quelled by the story being so good. Plus you get to fight a tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoolieBoolie64 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Definitely worth buying. There's no online play, but a great story. It's something new. You play in the dark and it's really intense. Lots of achievements. You'll definitely be pulling it off the shelf again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
