Alice

I got this game as joke from my mum, because she claimed the game was about me! Furious, I loaded it, and played it. Four hours later, I was still playing. This game follows the book, as if it were from a goths, or insane persons point of veiw. And that's what makes it rule!! The graphics are smooth and perfect, and there's tiny little gorish details which make this game fantastic, such as whenever Alice is injured, she actually bleeds! If you love the book, play this game. If you hate the book, still play this game. This is one of those things that stays with you and makes you want to play again, even when it's long been over.

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!

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.

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.

I finally beat it on Nightmare....oh the pain the pain. Had 40 saves by the end. Jabborwock sequence was the hardest though and i had to put the gamedown for a month or two to retain my sanity. A most excellent game but the jumping could use a little work especially during the end boss, gosh.

Definitely among the top ten video games of all time in the atmosphere and soundtrack department. Kudos to American Mcgee and Chris Vrenna. The only time I've ever bought the soundtrack to a video game he he. I love the way the moon looks in one of the scenes through the window. It looks just like the Cheshire Cat grin and now every time i look at the quarter moon, i think of the cat. Superb scenery throughout with shifting illogical puzzle like backgrounds. Combine that with the sinister yet eerily beautiful soundtrack and you have yourselves an experience that puts yourself in a nightmare version of Wonderland. Simply wonderful.
