Spot on...  without wanting to get pompous and eitist about it.. I fear a lot of reviewers didnt "get" the story in this game. 

Now go play it... excellent game.  My fav of this year so far... yep better than ME2 for me. 

I am currently mooching off family now, as I haven't been able to do paid work, due to the economy (pushing over 3 years without a job) so I am trying to fight back with various project work, and do pick up stuff for Game Room (I wrote a thread explaining this).  So, I am fighting a darkness of my own here.  That means I don't have money for the game now.  Game Room is part of a website project I am doing, so my gaming becomes business.  That is what holds me back from a lot.  I have to seriously pick my shots now.  In the old days, Alan Wake would of been purchased by me, along with Red Dead, and Mod Nation Racer.

I also think, regarding the reviewers, if reviewers don't get the story, they will review the gameplay, and find that maybe it was too repetitive, so they knock the score down.  The sequel, if the lake is now an ocean, should promise far more diverse gameplay.
