Alice

Ex-id software designer American McGee has definitely come up with the goods...this movie combines the bizarre, surreal setting from Lewis Carrol's book with a dark, gothic irony, a la the original Quake. Just listen to the story... Alice has been committed to a mental institution following the untimely death of her parents in a housefire. In the book, Alice visited Wonderland in a dream...here, she has no choice but to venture back to this place as a result of her insanity..but now it's a much darker Wonderland...the queen of hearts is now a domineering dictator, and all this is because of Alice's own lack of a sense of reality. Ingenious.

Another brilliant part of the game is the visual factor..the Quake 3: Arena engine has been put to brilliant use, and Alice is now a decidedly perturbed, sickly looking goth, which adds to the fantastic twisted, dark, and kinetic humour of the game.

A game about one of the most magical and surreal places ever designed made by the same person who made a video game about a hare-trigger, NIN-nail-gun toting marine killing demons in Hell. Is it beautiful? Yes? Compelling? Yes? Fun? Eh... sort of. The gameplay is above mediocre, but barely. If it had been about any other subject matter in any other environment, it would not have received marks nearly as high as it did. Personally, the only reason that I completed the game was to see what tragic misfit of Wonderland lurked behind the next corner. I still suggest playing the game to the end, if only to see what has the to be most spectacular end boss I've ever heard of (and I doubt ever to be topped.) Alice is immortal as long as there are people who care about the surreal, and American McGee has clearly shown that he is one of those people. He is merely carrying on the torch of Carroll, only this time the creator has better nightmares.

This is a great, mesmerizing, game that will keep anyone occupied for hours. I didn't stop playing it for three days. It's creepy, dark and disturbing but, most of all fun. The graphics in the game are also very beautiful. Alice is lost in Wonderland only it's a dark wonderland. You must get her out. The game play is smooth. There are hidden rooms and hidden caverns that are even fun to explore once you've completed the game.

This is such a bone chilling funny cool gory game! Basically, Alice returns to Wonderland to find it twisted and horribly wrong. She has to battle her way to the evil Queen of Hearts, and kill her to save wonderland. There are unique monsters to kill, and weapons -- or 'toys', if you will, to kill the monsters with. The monsters include card guards and boojums. And the first toy Alice recieves is the Vorpal Sword, made famous by Lewis Carrols' 'Jabberwocky' poem (He took his vorpal sword in hand, long time the manxome foe he sought, so rested he by the TumTum tree, and stood awhile in thought). The levels are colourful, and they get harder as you hack your way through. A very enjoyable game!

this was the most shocking game ever (in a good way) : to see one of the happiest stories ever, filled with nice charcters, turned into a demented land, filled with killers, freaks, and mad children. the plot is : alice's house caught fire, killing both her parents and driving her insane. as wonderland is actually a part of her, so does wonderland turnaround. alice will have to go back, and unfortunatlly kill almost everyone. (with an exception of the gryphon, the cheshire cat, the rabbit, and the caterpiller). fill with gothic design and horrible violence, this is a must have.
