Alice hallucinates being surrounded by people with fish heads before being confronted by Nurse Witless, an unnecessary character that we hardly ever see again and does nothing to contribute to the story. This should start the adventure in Wonderland, but sadly that’s not what happens. Strolling through town, Alice comes across a white fluffy pussy cat and, of course, follows it to a back alley. “I know you’re unstable but that doesn’t mean you can’t pick up your own damn drugs.” Alice is awoken by her trance and is instructed to pick up her medication and be on her merry way. She can barely remember anything about the fire that killed her family and is convinced she may be the reason they are dead. Alice is spiraling into madness again and is doing everything in her power to fight against it. Where there is one flaw, there are two more good things about the game, so let’s get this tea party started.Īlice : Madness Returns begins with some disturbing reenactments of the previous game through Alice’s own unique perspective, all the while being coaxed to “let the new Wonderland emerge” by the over-seeking Dr.

Now, before all of you show up on my porch with pitchforks and torches, let me be clear: I fell deeply in love with this game and the franchise overall, but it isn’t blind love. But that doesn’t mean Alice: Madness Returnsisn’t fun, however, as the whole vibe seems to give lip service to the Hot Topic clique.

Unfortunately, the game tries a little too hard with forced shock value and jump scares. American McGee’s Alice was an outstanding game on its own merit, so it’s obvious the sequel would try to raise the bar. This is unfortunate for you but a blessing for gamers everywhere who are thirsty for more time in your Wonderland, no matter how badly it has fallen apart. The madness just follows you everywhere, doesn’t it? But that figures since sanity never lasts very long. * Reader Beware! This here review contains some slight spoilers!
