"This is a GREAT GAME!!"
I have to admit this game is awesome. The graphics and the usage of charactors and so on are the best. The only problem is the fact that you can only play it on your computer. I keep waiting to see if they will make this game for say the PS2 or 3. That would be much much better in my opinion. Having to use the keyboard/mouse for things is a pain but once you get that down your good to go. = )
EA Games needs to make this game compatable for play stations tho.

"Still A Masterpiece In My Eyes"
American Mcgee's Alice is and always will be a legend. i was 10 when my brother got this game and even 6 years later it's the one game i own that gets the most play time on my computer which is a severly out dated dell running windows 98. it had the best graphics and music for it's time i'd say. i've never really been one for the third person adventure genre seeing as i'm a die-hard RPG guy. and coming from me that means it's an amazing game. i'd say that if this game has interested you get a copy. it's worth it. and chances are you going to love it. i've gotten everyone in my computer club to play this game and they loved it. give it a try

"Great for it's time."
Oooh, I remember when I saw the box art in the stores..I knew I wanted it. I think the game should be (not sequaled but) remade with more modern graphics & better AI, more levels, but keep the characters & story as-is. I'd love to open up a page in (insert any of 3 gaming zine titles) & see an advert for ALICE: Revamped.

This is one of my /favorite/ computer games. The morbid re-make of Alice in Wonderland was a admirable idea. {I also heard that they're making a Wizard of Oz one??} Alice is definately a memorable and unique character. Her reactions to things are not what you'd excpect and that's what I like most about her, besides of course how completely disturbed she is which puts a very necessary spin on the game. I definately reccommend this game because it is VERY fun.
One thing I did not like about this game were the game controls. Use 'w' to walk forward? Why not just the arrow keys? And I sometimes lost my little aim dot and ended up being killed. But I do understand that this game is six years. About a previous review that stated when you die you have to watch the scenes again I'd like to point out that this is not a true statement-if you don't feel like watching a scene you can press Esc and it will take you out of it but not to the main menu unless you press it twice.
Overall if your looking to spend a few bucks and try something fun and vintage I suggest this game. =)

"Going back down the rabbit hole"
When I first tried playing American Mcgee's Alice, I began to worry I was tumbling down the wrong rabbit hole. It turns out that I was wrong.

American Mcgee's Alice, known to some as the third chapter in Alice's life, revolves around a nightmarish Wonderland taken over by the monstrous Red Queen. Driven insane by being the only survivor in a fire that claimed the lives of her parents, Alice resides in an asylum with a battered stuffed rabbit - the only remainder of her past life. But when a tragic cry from the rabbit summons Alice back down the rabbit hole, she's forced to work her way through the former fairytale-land and return Wonderland to its original state.

For a game purely about the mythical world of Wonderland, the effort and creativity put into the game has to be tremendous. Fortunately, Alice does just that. The beautifully designed backgrounds and detailed characters really put you into the game (Even six years from its release date!) and sometimes caused me to stop and look out the window, just to ensure I was still in the real world and not in Alice's dream. Staying true to the speech of the original books, the characters of Alice speak just as they would have a few centuries ago, which was rather a nice touch. And each character was uniquely designed - Alice, your friends, and your enemies...which brings me to the next topic.

A game like Alice simply can't do without its weapons. Fortunately, you have ten weapons and three power-ups to fulfill your needs. Each weapon is designed like a toy (though there are few who would consider a butcher knife a toy), and each causes devastating damage to your enemy. Controlled purely by Alice's willpower, these toys will surely turn battle-time into playtime.

As you navigate through the game, you will often be surprise-attacked, or forced to solve a small jumping puzzle or two. It's true that the game is slightly linear and can get dull at some points, but the creative eye-candy put into the game more than makes up for the lack of original gameplay.

Alice, though a dated game, is easily worth the little money you can pay these days to get your hands on a copy of it. If you're ready for a new, warped Wonderland, get ready to go back down the rabbit hole. It may be the most curious adventure on your computer you'll ever have.
