Just What Ive Been Waiting For
User Rating: 9 | Alan Wake X360
Its a long time coming but as far as I'm concerned worth the wait. What I have been looking for a game in a while is the good old fashioned spooky old adventure story, intelligent game that scares you because of suspense like an old fashioned ghost story and less of the bombardment of alien being creatures that you blast to shreds through most games. Don't get me wrong, this game has its fair share of battles but they are on ghost story level and merge perfectly with the overall suspense...great game. Loved it. Engaging rich story wonderfully integrated with the game. Just like gears of war and Bioshock but more towards the lovecraft, ghost story adventure, spooky tale side...great! I wish more games with such rich stories, wonderful graphics, and simple gameplay. It does seem like games like this now are more cinematic than games, more like controlling a movie and the outcome. Bring them on is what I say, rich experiences like this is what I'm after, not just shooting the hell out of things for hours in the same environments. This kind of game reminds me of old games like broken sword. Rich games that rely on a wonderful story, backed up with amazing visuals that suck you in and emerse you in that world!! All in all if your a fan of old spooky ghost stories, buy this game, it wont let you down!!!
