turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.

Very fun and unique game. Gets a bit repetitive after a while, but the story is good enough to keep you interested.

I rented it and beat it. Supposedly this is the first chapter and there is supposed to be like 3 or 5 total games, and each game that comes will be from the standpoint of a new character in the story and in the end they all meet in the final chapter and something happens.
Good story kind of resident evil feeling but updated with a "lost" feel.

I bought it used for the 360 at $25 (it was originally $60) and found it worth the money.
If you can wait, wait for it to drop to $20 or something in a few months, but its pretty good.

If you don't care about the money it's worth it. I really enjoyed playing through it for the story, but like others have said the game plays get repetitive. To me it embodies everything I want in a game to rent.

It's an xbox live arcade game and it's game play is focused more on action then story, if you want a grindy version of the game pick it up
The full game Alan Wake is very much like heavy rain and I hope more games come out to use this style of presentation the story is pretty hacked up in both games character building, plot etc could be much better these games need a very talented writer and editor to pull off.
Still waiting for a good one these two are maybe 7.5/10 games for me. Not to say I'm disapointed in them just to say I can see the potential for a much much better game.
reminds me of the old point and click adventure games I miss those in the rearview mirror not saying they'd be as good in today's market just that I really enjoyed them in thier time.
I'd say get it for $10 and you'd be pretty happy with it, unless your really bored and need something different to sit back with a nice cup of tea and just absorb and reflect on while interacting with it I had fun on a few playthroughs as I understood more of what was taking place and the nuances of the atmosphere they were creating.
Let's say this it was meant to emulate a steven king movie/book and I think it caught that vibe just right
