This is not based on the sweet Disney film version of the classic story, but is a dark disturbing version as an action-adventure. While the Disney film took out the book's more disturbing aspects, McGee with his team deepen the dark aspects of the book. It's a direct sequel to Lewis Carroll's famous books. The story begins with Alice's parents dying in a house fire, and Alice taking the blame for it. After repeated attempts at suicide, she gets locked up inside a mental institution and is slowly wasting away there before she is summoned to Wonderland again by the White Rabbit. But this time it's a Wonderland gone seriously bad and gory. The only chance for Alice to restore her piece of mind and find out more about the death of her parents is to fight through Wonderland and free it from the evil powers. Experience the Pool of Tears, the Caterpillar's Garden, and the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. The Cheshire Cat serves as Alice's companion throughout the game, frequently appearing to guide her with cryptic comments. They have made an action adventure with strong graphics, good sound, and an anything but sweet principal character. The levels are varied and offer numerous interesting ideas. The opponents are very different and some absolutely immense. Composed by former Nine Inch Nails band member Chris Vrenna, Alice's score is the creepiest, most bizarre, most haunting music ever heard in a game. Some of the gore in the demo was toned down for the final game. In 2011, a remastered version was included with the sequel Alice: Madness Returns. It features widescreen resolution and slightly updated character texture models, includes support for newer operating systems and controller support. It's not currently available in Steam for unknown reasons but is part of Alice: Madness Returns - The Complete Collection on non-Steam digital distribution sites. | ||
