Doubt it'll even be considered by reviewers that the game is sub-hd and looks pretty bad. No MW2 reviewer mentioned how ugly the game was, baffles me.

Because art direction makes up for resolution issues? 

On games that use a unique artstyle, yes. 

Alan Wake for the largest part is replicating real life. Foliage, ground cover, humans and so on, none of which can be rendered well or look particularly great in 540p. On a large TV (above 30~") or sitting close to a small TV, it's a huge eyesore to play games so far SUB-HD.
