Make no mistake, this rerelease is very much a remaster as opposed to a full remake its graphics may have been overhauled to an appreciable extent but gameplay remains unchanged. Read the full Alan Wake (Xbox 360) Review Read the additional Alan Wake: The Writer DLC (Xbox 360) Review Read the additional Alan Wake: The Signal DLC (Xbox 360) Review Flashlight Flashback Remedy's done a great job of mixing elements of written work, television, and videogames to create an experience full of scares, laughs, and thrills that's just as fun to play as it is to watch.

Though the camera can cause issues and the supernatural story that's more interested in asking questions than answering them, it's a tough game to put down once you've started.

Outstanding environmental design and some brilliant visuals and sound make Bright Falls and its mountainous surroundings look and feel alive. Remedy has built a world that, despite being a fantastical realm of twisting shadows and realities, is solidly anchored in authenticity.
