Manufacturer's Description

Alice: Madness Returns delves deep into the dark and violent side of the imagination, creating a nightmarish Wonderland where Alice must face the demons that haunt her visions. Visit the grim reality of Victorian London and then travel to the beautiful yet ghastly Wonderland to uncover the root of Alice’s madness and discover the truth behind a deadly secret, kept hidden for years.

Eleven years ago a horrific fire took Alice’s family from her and left her mind horrifically scarred. Afterwards she was confined to Rutledge Asylum, where she struggled to confront her demons by slipping further into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Now, after ten years, she has finally secured her release—yet she still bears the heavy psychological burden of that tragic event.

With her mind in tatters, she is unable to resolve the fear prompted by her strange memories, dreams, and visions. Perhaps she’ll do better in Wonderland. She always has. She travels there, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. Something has gone horribly wrong, and now a great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge. Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?

Good game but EA and Spicy Horse let it down a bit

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2013

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

Oh wow ... What a game. If you played the original American McGee`s Alice, you`ve got to play this one.

As you`d expect, the graphics are so much more fluid and, after levelling them up, the weaponary is a lot stronger although the controls are a little different so you`ll have to get used to them but once mastered, you`ll really enjoy it.

In the normal gameplay, Alice gets a new dress after each level completed which gives you the option of swapping around but (unless you fiddle with the .inf files) you won`t get the total of six until you`ve finished the game at which point, you can re-play it with a full wardrobe and in case anyone`s wondering, stripey tights are the order of the day except for the water dress which sees her barefoot.

There is a downside to this version though and that is the bugs. No, not the caterpillar or even the flying beetles that drop something suspiciously explosive on her head but the game bugs and if you find something not working as it should do and then `Google` it, you`ll find that a lot of people in a lot of forums have the same gripe but if you`re confident enough to mess about with the .inf files, there are plenty of guys out there with solutions to whatever difficulty you come across ... It`s just a shame that EA and Spicy Horse haven`t cottoned on to it and patched the game accordingly.

The concept of the game is brilliant and for the money it`s worth giving it a go even if you hadn`t been captivated by the original version as long as you`re aware that it`s sometimes a bit buggy although most problems can be solved with some in-depth researching. For the male population out there the answer is yes, you can get quite a few other dresses for Alice but you`ll have to work out how for yourselves ;-)

The controls make it almost impossible to play this on a laptop/PC.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2015

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

I'm sure it's a great game, but seeing as I bought it for PC, the controls are a bit crazy. The camera is out of control, and it is very difficult to make Alice attack on a keyboard. I get the feeling that this would be much easier to play with an xbox controller, or something similar. The game also lagged quite a lot when I first played it, but after a few minutes of research on google, I soon fixed it, and it does not lag as much anymore. Again, I'm sure it's a really good game, and I was really looking forward to playing it, but the controls just make it extremely frustrating, and I have rage quitted many times because they just refuse to work. I will try and play this again with a joystick controller, and hopefully that will be easier than using a keyboard.

An Amazing Trip through a Wonderland You'll Never Forget

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 December 2014

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

Alice: Madness Returns is one of the few games that I really enjoyed playing. It had the vibe of old-school arcades, the graphics of fantasy worlds unknown and all of this - based on the evergreen story of a girl who ends up in a world of her own make where something is not that great.

When it comes to this original story... I was into it totally. The psychiatric scenes and the "real-life" line were fulfilling and managed to keep me interested, even though there are not much action to be done in there. Well, the plot twist was obvious for me from the very start, but it's not a whodunnit title anyway.

The gameplay is really enjoyable. It has all a fan of non-shooting actions would like - many keys to use, full control over Alice's actions and several twists such as her becoming a giant where movements are in fact influenced by her big body.

For all who are wondering about purchasing this game: If you enjoy the genre, buy it.

When is a raven like a writing desk?

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 January 2012

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

An absolutely beautiful rendition, this game has real eye candy and every corner is filled with delights that draw the eye and make you want to explore wonderland. However, the buggy gameplay and poor control dynamics will leave a nasty taste in the mouth. My least favourite bug is when you start a level with run switched on permanently.
If you can find the will to overcome the first few levels and bugs and play on, you will find a deep and rich story filled with rounded characters that expand with every memory collected.
But it would seem that the Mad Hatter got his hands on the voicing script somewhere between the last edit and production.
The puzzles are kept simple and never over used in a level, this helps to keep the level builds interesting but invisible, moving platforms can bring an element of frustration. I get the feeling that this is not a story to be rushed, but savoured... like a nice cup of tea.
If you miss the first Alice, this is a real treat and it's now at a good price.

Stunning physics

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2012

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

First, the tech bit: I'm running on an FX-4100 with a GTX 260 and I can play this game in 1920x1200 with everything set to high. The pace is a bit slower going than the original American McGee's, but I think that the physics help to make up. For example, bits of paper will scutter around as you run through it. Alice's character design is graphically detailed, roughly on par with a Sims 3 character. The only downside is that the controls, while still being WASD-based, takes some getting used to! If you go into the keyboard settings though, you can switch it for a joypad and control using that. I find that joypad is easier.

Activation issue

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2016

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

Note this game is now old enough that the activation required to run the game is no longer available from the link on the activation screen. Instructions on how to overcome this are on the EA forums but require some computing insight to achieve the desired result.

completely useless to me then

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 January 2016

Platform: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase

This was sent to me in an orange cover (different from that advertised) with a note on the back reading...NOT FOR SALE OR USE IN THE U.K....completely useless to me then. No where in the product description does it state that before buying. Definitely sending this back.
