Video Game Reviews of American McGee's Alice
Customer Review: Highly reccomended.
Summary: 5 Stars
Okey, the graphics are now somewhat dated. A lot can change in 6 years, but they're quite tollerable & very fun to look at. When I read previews for the upcomming Bioshock & old reviews on Grim Fandango; they reminded me of this. It's part 3ed Person Shooter & mostly adventure. There really aren't enough AI to stand in your way earlier on. You biggest & moct consistant danger throughout the game is falling to your death. Latter you'll have to deal with drowning, being eaten, & being squished by gigantic projectiles. Unlike most fighting games, the environment is you're worst & most challenging enemy. Despite limited exploring you may still become lost. If you play RTS games & find smothering same-looking enemies over & over to become boring, don't worry; this can be ammusing & strategicaly stimulating.
The scenery looks so awesome & unique it almost puts the Harry Potter games to shame. The voice acting is excelent & well suiting, though Cheshire's dialogue is vague & a bit cheesy, but the use of riddles stays true to the book. The flame effects are still realistic, there are all sorts of amusing & interesting things to watch like the insane children in the fortress & traveling through an anthill. You get a limited number of weapons but they're unique & each has a basic & a secondary attack, but if you jump, aim at the floor, or point up, you create new attacks that are not only very fun to watch, but can be terribly ammusing. It's reccomended that you develop a strategy using particular weapons against particular enemies or groups vs individuals. Alice will also interact with weapons differntly when left idol.
There are 8 levels, but they can last for days even with it's moderate difficulty (like I said, falling/drowning/being crushed/eaten are your biggest threats & you will likely die again & again). The soundtrack & sound effects are 2 more kudos to the game. Take the time to listen to them. Also, the cut-scenes are watch-worthy, so don't skip over them.
I most reccomend this game to girls, fans of twisted fairy tails, fans of Alice in Wonderland/Looking Glass Land, people who are just starting PC gaming, people who want a soft taste of a shooter game, or someone bored with combat & modern-realistic graphics who just wants a fun game with a good story.
Cons: Bad save; if you die, you'll be jettisoned to the begining of the chapter (thankfully not the begining of the level). While higher levels have more & more difficult enemies; the rose garden maze isn't as fun & challanging as it could have been had it 2 or 3 times as many apponants. Like Dungeon Siege 2; restricted wandering. It'd have been fantastic to explore wonderland with the freedom of traveling off the destined path & becoming hopelessly lost.
American McGee's Oz was sadly scrapped, but look forward to the episodic series; American McGee's Grimm on GameTap by Spicey Horse. If you like the level designs but want to do more shooting, I recommend Serious Sam II; which is a very ammusing game. If you like the uniqueness of the music, I recommend the Tragic Treasury by the Gothic Archies.
