Alan Wake is a good horror game with wonderful atmosphere that suffers from annoying and repetitive gameplay...

Not really with you on the annoying complaint (except for stiff vehicle controls), but I totally get the repetition complaint.  For me, I thought it was a fun meta-commentary on Alan Wake himself.  It's like he can't help but be a hack who throws in one-too-many action scenes into each chapter.  Maybe running back to that trough is what resulted in his previous writer's block.  I also deliberately played it chapter by chapter, so it doesn't feel as repetitive either.
