Alan Wake's American Nightmare Review

This game came out back in February, February 22 to be exact.  The game got a rating of 7.75 and was only for the 360. The concept for the game was good from what I read it says how Alan Wake's mystery deepens at the expense of the engrossing atmosphere being stripped away. Wow that kinda sounds like something out of Silent Hill. From what I read the lightning effects are outstanding, and small details like the realistic movement of Alan's flannel shirt are found all throughout the game, but the world is a non-entity and does little to enhance the atmosphere.  It even had great sound to help the built up suspense. The game used licensed music at the right times to add a kick to specific combat encounters. Alan's and Mr. Scratch's (character in the game) voice work are once again excellent even the great/gunplay returns and is made better by a more powerful arsenal and a wider variety of enemy types. For those of you who have played the other Alan Wake game and enjoyed it you would enjoy this too.
