Finally, the bosses of this game were done very well, all had the appropriate twisted look to them and so as not to ruin any gaming experiences, usually were unexpected. Doing battle involved timing and being fleet of foot, since Alice possesses no sort of armor or magic set fire to the Duchess and run like hell.
Alice is a single player game, but in this reviewer's opinion would make one heck of a multiplayer game with its nasty, nasty weapons. To me, a game like Alice , even with its friendly controls and easy to learn gameplay would be enjoyable even without good graphics. Fortunately, this is not a problem. Alice has tremendous atmosphere, brought on by stylish coloring and rendering.
With no lag and sharp edges, the action comes at a brisk pace. A fine job done by the EA team. Frankly I was surprised there were any in such a graphically superior game. With the screech of Wraiths and the almost melancholy English accent of Alice I was grinning ear to ear. When the Cheshire cat spoke in an almost hushed, sinister voice I smirked with delight. And with the incessant ramblings of the obviously insane Duchess I nodded my head approvingly.
The character voices were done by actors who obviously knew their material. An excellent job. The slice of air as my playing cards stuck into my enemies, the evil laugh of the tortured school children. My hat is off.
Alice is a game designed for the mature gamer. But for the rest of us, it is an excellent game with plenty of character and story development, engaging plot and rich graphics.
This game will undoubtedly appeal to the gamer of a more disturbed taste. I liked it. Take on the role of Alice in Wonderland as she attempts to dream her way through Lewis Carroll's bizarre imagination. This latest electronic adventure based on the venerable classic features excellent graphics, interesting puzzles and one of the finest user interfaces I've ever seen to enhance play.
In fact, the user interface is the first thing to catch your eye. It consists of multiple windows for compass, inventory, graphics, map, text and "what's in the room". Any or all of these windows can be opened at any time.
Players will probably opt to use only one or two at a time, since having them all visible simultaneously provides lots of information but makes for a crowded screen. The easiest way to manipulate the windows is with a mouse, although the keyboard can be used. The graphics window provides a first-person view of the current environment as seen through Alice's eyes, and a click produces descriptions of each item.
The compass window is especially usable, since only valid exits from the current room can be selected. It's also a quick-travel asset, since clicking on a compass point moves Alice in that direction. The map window shows the rooms already visited, relieving the chore of mapping Alice's travels.
A nice touch lets the gamer, return to any spot by clicking on that room. Windowed icons make object manipulation very easy. Just click on an object in the "what's in the room" window, and drag it to the inventory window - Alice will carry that object.
Pull-down menus of verbs and nouns limit the selections to what is possible, eliminating the guesswork. The noun menu provides a list of objects, then a submenu for each object provides the valid choices of verbs.
Wonderland boasts superb graphics and a musical sound track of remarkable clarity. The parser is quite advanced, making text entry less of a chore. It understands compound commands get the jewel and put it in the bag and can ask questions for clarification. Unlike other games of this genre, however, answers can be limited to the minimum information necessary.
The puzzles may prove too much for a novice, but they are not particularly hard for an experienced adventurer. Fortunately, a well-defined help function provides increasing levels of hints. There is quite a lot of humor built into Wonderland's responses - the designers anticipated some pretty outrageous requests.
Wonderland is an enjoyable, imaginative visit to Carroll's world and definitely the most successful game to date based on the book. The designers brought new life to Alice's adventure in this electronic media, and in so doing, they advanced the state of gaming art by a significant degree.

Graphics Versus Gameplay After an introduction to ropeswinging, an impromptu but un-dynamic mine shaft ride, and more words of advice from the ubiquitous Cheshire Cat Alice arrives in a place called, ominously, The Fortress Of Doors. Constant Variety Rather disappointingly the puzzles in Alice rarely deviate from the pull-the-right-lever-to-open-the-right-door school of gameplay. Erase From Here Using Mind Rubbers But all this talk has so far been about the game - we've made little or no mention of the story.

Sound effects, on the other hand, do not have as much presence and the voice acting could have been much better - it's not that the characters sound wooden per se, but you can tell each of the actors recorded their lines separately and the dialogue doesn't flow smoothly.
There are quite a number of enemies vying for Alice's blood, mostly from the Red Queen's army of card guards that chase you throughout; they get tougher and wield more powerful weapons as the game goes on. You also spend a good portion of the game shrunk down in size to only a few inches tall much of the game parallels the original Alice in Wonderland story , and so come up against many enemies of the insect variety, such as huge bayonet-carrying ants and mutated ladybugs. You also have to be careful of the hazards in the environment itself -- flowers will pop up and spit spikes at you, and mushrooms come alive trying to suck you into their fang-filled orifice.
As in any action-adventure, you can expect to find your share of boss creatures to deal with too. Many of the bosses are also twisted incarnations of the characters from the original story that the rather snobby Alice didn't get along with, including the Mad Hatter and Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. The Hatter's lair is actually one of the most depraved environments, as he's turned his home into a factory that manufactures automatons from living creatures. And what of the Hatter's companions, the hare and sleepy dormouse?
You can find out their horrible fate if you delve far enough in. On the weapons side, things remain just as imaginative and bizarre.
Alice starts with a rather standard, but icky, blood-stained kitchen knife or "vorpal blade" ; but from then on, she finds much more interesting contraptions to fight with.
These include the playing cards, which you can rapidly hurl; the mallet that serves as a club and a way of lobbing fiery Croquet balls at the bad guys; the Jackbomb that's a Jack-in-the-box which can explode like a timed bomb or rotate while breathing a stream of fire; and don't forget the toy "Jacks", which home in on targeted creatures and pummel them to death.
But what makes American McGee's Alice stand out is that it's the sort of game that you don't play for the usual satisfaction and ego-boost of completing the last level; you play because, like any expertly-crafted tale, you want to know what happens next and see more of the fascinating, seemingly alive world of Wonderland in its new, depraved form. If id were having any problems selling their Q3 engine license, this would be the game to showcase that anything in your imagination can be magnificently crafted onto the screen.
The new variation on the Alice theme is obviously intriguing enough to attract attention from the mainstream crowd outside of gaming, as it was recently announced that Nightmare on Elm Street creator, Wes Craven, has signed up to direct a movie based on this game. Alice is suffering and she needs help out of her dementia -- and even if you can't save her, you still get to venture forth through an obscenely twisted Wonderland. It's really a no-lose situation.

The only dialogue that works is Alice, and even the sound effects do not work. Downloading the "High quality sounds" did not fix the issue. Sky 0 point. So as soon as I was able to work and buy my own computer I very quickly learned I can buy games online and bought myself a copy of Alice Madness returns on steam!

Grew up with this game, holds a special place in my heart as it was my very first 'violent' videogame. Hell, my father had the original copy when it came in those silly art boxes, I even have the journal that came with the game box detailing Alice's treatment at Rutledge insane asylum. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes grim twists on childhood fairytales.

Plus the version here is the original release version while the sequel is bundled with an HD remaster which some people might not want since remasters usually have things not working properly or change things in a way that not everyone likes.
