Ive been wanting to get this game for awhile but have been putting it off. I saw on gamestop's site that they are selling it for 40$ new. Is it worth it? What are some pros and cons i should know?

thats most likely the price ONLY for online order. so add shipping and taxand your spending $50. this game is trash and is not worth the money, silent hill homecoming and resident evil 5 are much better games for cheaper and are more scary than AW.

Yeah It's worth it. It's a great game. The only con I see is that it doesn't have that much reply value, but that's just my opinion. It would of been a lot better if they added co-op, that's another con. But yeah It's definitely worth it.

It's even cheaper on Amazon with free shipping and no tax. But the gamestop price is effective for in-stores as well.

it was a good deal to buy it for full price, so any sort of discount makes it a great deal

I would say bad deal considering you could rent for a couple dollars. If you wanna own it though buy a used one from Gamestop. If it doesn't work they'll give you your money back.

I hated it. Controls were awkward and I found myself jumpy having things come running out of nowhere. And I don't consider myself that jumpy of a player considering I got through Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead and Fallout 3... where stuff comes out of nowhere all the time! Since its not a priority I'd say wait a bit longer. The price will come down more. Also, have you tried looking around for a used copy? Its not worth buying new.

Great game the first time around not so sure i would feel the same the second playthrough though.

The story is excellent but after you know the whole story the first time around then the second time it isnt as atmospheric or story driven.

The combat is good and fun at first but gets kind of repetitive and simple the more you shine a light at someone and then pop them with a handgun.

40 dollars is a fair price tag for the game i would say however. 35 dollars if you buy used.

both of those sucked imo. Alan wake is awsome.
