There were plenty of unanswered questions when Remedy announced a follow-up to their widely loved Xbox 360 game, Alan Wake. The change in setting to the American Southwest from the densely wooded Northwest, the stronger focus on action, and the fact that the game would be an XBLA game instead of a retail release raised a few eyebrows amongst fans.
However, fret not you Alan Wake loyalists, as American Nightmare is a well-crafted experience. The experience adds a new pulp element to the Alan Wake mythos, and manages to prove that action-heavy gameplay can work well in the franchise's flashlight/gun mechanics. However, there are some problems inherent to the game, including a beguiling, cluttered story and a lack of the first game's suspense and terror. American Nightmare is a good game and a great experiment, but one that fans looking for more of the original Alan Wake's deep atmosphere will find lacking.
Alan Wake's American Nightmare isn't a sequel to the original, but rather a spin-off involving the titular writer. The game finds Alan trapped inside a script he wrote for the Twilight Zone-esque TV show Night Springs. He's stuck in a desert town rewriting reality after his evil doppelganger, Mr. Scratch, tore through and unleashed a host of Taken, mindless psychopaths who have been possessed by the Dark Presence. American Nightmare opts to go a pulpier route with the story, a sharp contrast to the straightforward mystery-horror elements in the first game; think more Tarantino and Rodriguez than Lynch and King.
Alan Wake's American Nightmare is an extremely impressive experiment, created with the aim of releasing an essentially fully-fledged retail game through Xbox LIVE Arcade. American Nightmare absolutely succeeds in this regard, with action-packed gameplay, a cool theme, and an exciting Arcade Action mode. However, as a follow-up to the awesome original game, the story comes up short and the whole experience lacks suspense and thrills.
