Alan Wake's American Nightmare

 

A good story can go a long way to endear me to a game. While it took a while to pull me in, Remedy eventually spins an engrossing yarn, pairs it with fun combat and a fantastic bad guy, and hopes you'll stick around for the ride. It has got its fair...

Alan Wake's American Nightmare

 

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare started off development as an action-focused aside for the Alan Wake series. While its wave-based survival mode is still a part of the package, Remedy fortunately came to their senses and realised fans were clamouring for...

And that’s the main reason for playing Alan Wake’s American Nightmare: its narrative. If you’ve never played its predecessor then you’ll be lost coming in. This is a game for the fans, featuring an appreciative amount of exposition even if it’s fairly...

Alan Wake's American Nightmare Review

 

If you'd have asked me what I wanted from Alan Wake, more combat would've probably been close to the bottom of the list. The first game excelled in telling a cool story populated with likable characters in an interesting way, but its low point was...

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare- Xbox 360

 

In conclusion, I think that this game is worth the points tag they put on it. Leader boards and the regular 250 points of achievements with definite replay value makes this game one of the best arcade titles for the Xbox LIVE arcade.

Alan Wake’s American Nightmare – Review

 

Alan Wake's American Nightmare has arrived. I am a big fan of the original Alan Wake title and have been looking forward to Alan Wake's American Nightmare for a long time. When I was playing through the original title I would tell friends that it would...

Alan Wake's American Nightmare Review

 

Night springs eternal in this enjoyable yet uneven non-sequel.

Light, self-referential tone ; Entertaining interplay between Alan and Mr Scratch ; Lots of collectables ; Arcade mode is a lot of fun

Too much ammo diminishes the challenge and intensity ; No "Previously on Alan Wake" for new players ; Fetch quests feel like chores

Alas, while American Nightmare is technically a stand-alone story, those unfamiliar with the underlying mythology and backstory of the series won't get nearly as much satisfaction out of it as those who completed the first game. It's a shame because a...
