American McGee's Alice Computer Game

Pros: Neat story; cool weapons; fascinating characters; nice graphics; fantastic sound

Cons: Simple controls that are sometimes twitchy; might not work on your computer

The Bottom Line: This is a game that stands out, one that you should try if you're into something dark and different

Review: Not very many games try to be scary or freaky, and succeed. Fewer still do it without a lot of gore and 'boo' tactics. This one does all that and more. There's so much in American McGee's Alice that is creepy, demented, or just plain out there. That ...

Pros: amazing gameworld, good voice acting

Cons: Resource hog

The Bottom Line: Alice is a standard FPS game wrapped in an amazing gameworld. If you like FPS games and have a pretty heavy-duty system to run it on, you'll probably like it.

Review:
American McGee's Alice is a pretty good first-person shooter game wrapped in a demented, lovingly detailed gameworld.

The background:

Since Alice's last trip behind the looking-glass, things have taken...

Pros: The game that everyone's secretly been waiting for, complete w/ sound and graphics to match.

Cons: CPU Cycle Killer. Upgrade your hardware or don't bother.

The Bottom Line: This is the most twisted concept to ever hit the harddrive. A must-have for anyone with a slightly demented sense of humor as well as a slightly itchy trigger finger.

Review: A fire. Pages turning and burning. The Mad Hatter yelling at Alice, telling her to get out of the house. A young girl jumps out of the burning building, passes out on the snow, and wakes up in what appears to be a bed at a mental institution. A nurse...

Pros: Mind blowing sound and graphics

Cons: Not really able to explore

The Bottom Line: I definitely would recommend this to people that like adventure types of games. Exploration is minimal, but the sound and graphics make up for it.

Review: This is the phrase which will send you off on your adventure in Wonderland. Your goal is to get the items to create the potion that will make you small enough to fit in the rabbit hole.

Background: Alice is the only survivor in the fire that...

Pros: Phenomenal game play, a solidly compelling story line, amazing detail

Cons: It takes some time to get acclimated to, as any good game does

The Bottom Line: Quit reading this and just go buy it!

Review: Leave it to American McGee to take a beloved classic and turn it on its ear! Thank you, Mr. McGee. You've made the world a better place.

In this ingeniously twisted new vision, Alice finds that something has gone terribly wrong in Wonderland....

Pros: quake engine leads to great graphics, definitely not 'soft', large

Cons: not that difficult, long loadtimes

The Bottom Line: Get it now, but only if you have a really powerful machine.

Review: You probably all know the children’s bed-time story Alice in Wonderland. In her sleep, Alice follows a white rabbit into a strange land where all odd things come together. She is attacked by card guards, is invited to the mad-hatters not-birthdayparty,...

Pros: Everything

Cons: Long loading time on slow machines

Review: This game is absolutly amazing. I always loved the story of Alice and Wonderland, but I had never even imagined something like this could ever happen to alice. The story is wonderful, (something that the people at PCgamer apparently can't see). The...

Pros: Wonderful Worlds, Pure Art

Cons: Puzzles, Puzzles, Puzzles

Review: YES! I've been waiting for this title for some time now. Anyone who knows American McGee's work, knew the exact quality of this game even before previews started to surface. He's known throughout the industry for his creative genius. And Alice...

Pros: beautiful scenery, spooky music

Cons: too linear

The Bottom Line: well worth the money, and a great twist on the tale of Alice.

Review: Alice by American McGee (the Quake level builder) is a tour'd'force of twisted imagery, and fantasic ambient music. While I was expect ex NIN Chris Vrenna's soundtrack to be the usual Industrial/Rock fare I was pleasantly suprised by the soft touch he's...

Pros: Finally, a game worthy of the novel. A great experience.

Cons: It's over too soon. Needed more puzzles.

The Bottom Line: The best gaming experience of the year. The originality of the levels, and EERIE ambiance alone will be haunting you during and after the gameplay.
