First you have to promise them that you wouldn't steal it since the game has no multi.

Voice acting is not very... fitting. Too... cliche. This game better not end up being just a dream or what the writer was writing or some crazy multiple identity bs.

Better worry about gaming in general then, because all games lately are short, excect an extremely few like FF13, which is not as long as older ones too

animation, textures and lighting is by far the best than any other 360 game to date but the big complaint here is that there isnt that much going on the screen at once.

I don't know if "cliche" is the right word... I think it's more kinda cheesy and unbelievable. "Hey, I'm some big light. Here's your flashlight and your gun. I'll let you get back to your dream now."

It was a dream, I use to dream about riding giant godzillas around when I was a kid. Anything can happen in a dream.

I think it's safe to say that in most dreams, people don't actually have somebody tell them "hey, you're in a dream!!" I don't know about you, but my dreams are usually a bit less direct than that. Dream sequences should be a bit more interpretive and less narrated, I think. But that's just my opinion.

Have you ever talked about your experiences/situations from real life in a dream? I did. Have you ever realized, while being in a dream, that you are in a dream? I did. Anyway, have you seen how fast that battery got drained at 7:40? I love that! I thought it'd be overpowered, but it isn't!

Looks amazing! Welp, I guess all those cows and hermits need to get a 360 to play this, MS was smart to lock it up on their console, seeing as how bashed the 360 gets for its love affair with PC titles. I for one hope it never comes to PC, because it will jsut be pirated and used by those avoiding a 360.

We haven't played the full game yet. Maybe the light is some sort of higher power that actually exist and contacts alan through his dreams, "i'll let you get back to your dream" suggests the light is actually not part of the dream but something else.

If this was the game to prove that the 360 can be good as a PS3...It failed. You get screen tearing with almost nothing happening on screen. GOW 3 looks better with way more stuff happening on screen and it has smooth framerate.

The way the gun and flashlight came down from the light, I wouldn't be surprised by the higher power thing.
