Sort of, but you can aim while moving and dodging, and it feels a lot more flexible, but clearly the aiming system was designed for controllers.

^^And does it support controllers??

Yup, its a MS game after all.

Update to my review a few post above:

Environment: Ok guys, alan wake has the best in game scary environment, period, I was playing alan wake with my PL30 IEMs and by gawd I was scared $hitless, the ambient music is awesome and scary, in its own way, this game is actually scarier than Dead Space cause DS is set on a sci fi setting, but alan wake feels 100% real, it feels as if you are truly lost in the woods(the trees are beautifully done) and there is something or someone watching you, tailing you, this is something that I had never experienced in a game before, you know that tingly feeling we feel when we are in the dark and feel as if someone is watching us, alan wake feels just that, dead space did not have this mood in it(just surprise moments), you'll be always on your toes while playing this.

Tonight while taking the screenshots I was playing the game, with lights turned off, and with PL30 that blocked pretty much all sounds(from the PC), and I really felt immersed in the game, I actually felt relieved when enemies attacked me cause I know I am being attacked and nothing worse can happen, but when I am wondering the woods that's when I feel tensed, not knowing what might happen next, enemies pretty much jump from the shadows and they move fast. the lighting is also done realistically.

This game is a must play for all, with this I upgrade my Alan Wake review score to:
9.5/10

So go ahead, immerse yourself in Alan wake and for the love of gawd DO NOT play this game during the day, play it during the night with lights turned off and headphones.

yup, no matter how much I try mouse has spoiled me, I can't use a controller for anything but racing games, if consoles supported mouse by default I'd buy them in a heartbeat(not third party emulation).

Thanks for the review tkin. I thought DS was really scary but it looks like it has changed.

Thanks tkin , nice screenies and review . I'll play it on 7th March.

 

[reddead]

BTW will it run fine on 6630m??

nice review,

BTW will it run fine on 6630m??

I'm probably not the right person to answer this question.

Requirements:

AMD: ATI Radeon 3650, 4450, 5550, 6450 or higher (per series)
NVIDIA: GeForce 8600GT, 9500GT, GT120, GT430, GT520 (per series)

Alan Wake PC: 14 AMD- und Nvidia-Grafikkarten im Benchmark-Test [Test des Tages] - alan wake, remedy

Give it a shot, nothing to lose, but don't buy it, try to get a "special demo" first.

Thanks tkin , nice screenies and review . I'll play it on 7th March.

Its a beauty to play alan wake.

Nice job, tkin.

 

[gameranand]

No it won't run smoothly on that gpu. You need a better gpu to play it on appreciable settings and fps.

 

[topgear]

6630m is equivalent to HD5570 ( performance wise ) - so this can be playable on 6630m though with lowered details and resolution.

Got my GPU upgrade. Time to boot the game up. Will start playing it from tonight.

Does this game require a typical horror game surroundings? Like, playing in the nights, with headphones on and lights off?

 

[tarey_g]

Got my GPU upgrade.

Which one ?
