Customer Reviews

Great graphics. Dot.
The graphics and sounds are great (though old now), but the game is booooriiing. The action is poorly executed, the platforming even more poorly and the dialogs just tell you stupid things you don't need to know in order to progress. If you want a really good looking (and a little odd) game then grab a PS2 and ICO. It makes Alice blush. And if you want a good terror game, with graphics and sounds on par with Alice, but with a lot better story and action get Clive Barker's Undying.

To sum it all: if this wasn't called AMERICAN MCGEE whatever, it would be crap.

The most imaginative 3d action game ever.
Alice is a classic game. It's based on the character from Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland', but has a neo-gothic/dark style to it. The lands are totally original and everything is visually stunning. The atmophere is amazing and it's difficult to get bored of playing the game. I generally play this on the easiest mode just so that I can progress with the story and go through all of the levels. There are lots of really impressive 'levels' in the game. The originality is beyond any other 3d adventure game I've seen. I was drawn originally to get the game when playing the very promising demo a few times, and the full game was as good as I had hoped, though perhaps not as addictive as the demo. This game is a classic and even three years or so since its initial release, it's still well worth getting.

Alice
Although the graphics in this game are much cruder than the more detailed rendering in say the later Tomb Raider games, the inventivness and atmosphere of Alice more than make up for it. Even the epic scale locations Lara Croft travels through do not have anything like the same level of character, humour and sensuality as the 'mirrored asylum' or 'skool daze'.The very first time I reached the Mad Hatters 'arena' was a genuinely scary time waiting for battle to commence, a sensation not often found in games. Very inventive and enjoyable, a definite change from the dreary robots and repetative shooting games which are a glut on the market at present. A totaly refreshing breath of creativity in a desert of originality. Complaints: you will need a decent graphics card to run all the detail settings at full, but you won't loose much graphics quality just by reducing the settings a little to make the game play acceptable. Retro, stimulating, original and BUY IT.
