All is not right in Wonderland. The Mad Hatter's domain has become a Communist industrial complex, where giant, living, unblinking teapots have been repurposed as parts of a rickety production line. The Walrus and the Carpenter have taken to performing in a slutty undersea cabaret that hides a gory secret. Worst of all, a massive train shaped like a cathedral on wheels is thundering through the world, leaving destruction and lakes of leathery tar in its wake.

No, sorry, I got that wrong. Worst of all is that exploring Wonderland is, in practice, about as full of wonder as watching paint dry. Paint the colour of blood and dreams, but paint nonetheless.

The first American McGee's Alice, released all the way back in the year 2000, was a passable platformer that was hoisted up and carried by its twisted Wonderland setting. The game asked, if Wonderland represents Alice's imagination and psyche, what would happen if Alice went mad?

Jun 21, 2011 Alice Madness Returns Chapter 1 Snout Locations Walkthrough All Pig Snouts for chapter 1. Madness Returns takes place in 1875, a year after Alice's release. 5 6 7 Alice, now 19 years old, 7 resides at an orphanage in Victorian London, under the care of Dr. Angus Bumby, a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis to help his child patients forget their memories. Eleven years ago Alice lost her family to a horrific fire. Afterwards Alice struggled to face her demons by escaping to Wonderland. Alice now returns to Wonderland, seeking what the “real” world can’t provide. However, an evil is now descending upon what once was her refuge. Can Alice save Wonderland—and herself—from the madness that consumes them both?

And so it told the grim story of Alice's family dying in a fire, and the poor girl continuing to hallucinate from inside a Victorian mental asylum. At the end, Alice quite literally hunted down and murdered her own madness and was released from the real-world asylum.

Alice: Madness Returns sees Alice wandering through the streets of London and continuing to hallucinate, and a terrible evil arising in her mind once again. It's an evil that makes a little less sense this time around, but to say any more would be to spoil some of what little there is to be spoiled in this game. Madness Returns has a lot of problems, but they can all be summarised in a suitably nonsensical way: this game is nowhere near mad enough, and it's also not quite sane enough.

Let's start with the latter: it not being sane and sensible enough.

Simply put, this is just not a great example of ordinary, tried-and-tested game design. Each level of Madness Returns is broadly split into platforming segments, puzzles and combat. The level design of the platforming sections is fine, in the sense that you can and will jump from one floating platform to another without clipping through the floor, but it's mostly uninspired. Similarly, the puzzles are of that sad breed where they don't involve any actual brainpower - you'll find a lever or button, use it, and it will open up a new path through the level that will speed you onwards.

There are plenty of tiny, hidden side paths throughout each level that reward curious players, but the rewards often aren't worth the time spent traipsing to get them. You might find a 'Memory', representing a tiny scrap of dialogue from Alice's history, and you'll probably find an arbitrary number of the teeth used to pay for weapon upgrades that may or may not justify your time spent getting to them. Weirdest of all, you might find one of the game's hundreds of bottles. I collected these with the eagerness of a boy scout until I realised that they served no purpose at all.

Where Madness Returns does shine is in its combat, which offers polished, weighty action that can be tremendously rewarding on those occasions when you emerge from a crowd of enemies without a scratch.

Each of Alice's weapons, which range from a Pepper Pot gatling gun to a deflective umbrella, is mapped to a different button. And while each fight is only ever as complicated as using the right weapon on the right enemy at the right time, things can get tense once you've got several different enemies all circling you. In what is either an homage to or a blatant theft from Bayonetta, Alice actually dodges by morphing into a cloud of butterflies, accompanied by a bit of slo-mo if you dodge at the last second.

American McGee's Alice

game release date:

Alice: Madness Returns for PC, PS3 and X360 is a sequel to a TPP action game from released in 2000. The first installment was created by Rogue Entertainment (also known for such games as Strife and Quake II: Ground Zero) – a company that has ben closed since. The second part of Alice’s adventures was developed by Spicy Horse, a studio founded by American McGee. The developer is mostly known for American McGee’s Grimm. This game is a reinterpretation of Lewis Caroll’s novel about Alice – a young girl who explores a bizarre, fantasy world full of anthropomorphic creatures. However, American McGee’s version presents the adventure in a much darker way. The game sports unusual audiovisuals and great level design.

Plot

For ten years Alice has been dealing with catatonic schizophrenia caused by the tragic death of her parents. Now, the girl has a chance of getting back to normal life. Unfortunately, the move to London does not bring the expected relief, since the lack of any logical explanation for her parents’ demise leaves Alice restless. It seems that the best way out of this is to use the help of a hypnotist. However, a hypnosis session ends up with Alice returning to Wonderland, which, by the way, has deteriorated since the girl’s last visit.

Mechanics

Alice: Madness Returns for PC, PS3 and X360 is a third-person action game. Most of the time you explore various locations and fight all kinds of enemies. Alice can make use of many types of weapons, such as a kitchen knife or deadly cards, just to name a few. In her journey characters known from the original story of Alice accompany her.

Gameplay can be divided into platform and fighting sequences. The game also offers simple logic puzzles, which were also present in the first game (you must, for example, find the proper one out of countless doors). Some well-known locations have returned as well: the castle of the Queen of Hearts, Vale of Tears, or Fortress of Doors. Besides, at almost any moment, Alice can stop the amazing adventure and return to the real world – i.e. to a psychiatrist’s office, somewhere in the 19th-century London. Doing that gives you a chance to save the game and restore lost health. The psychiatrist’s office also serves the role of a lobby, from where Alice starts every journey into Wonderland. Interestingly, the players are free to choose their next destination, as the main story is non-linear.

Technical aspects

The game looks very nice and features an interesting art style and compelling sound design. Alice: Madness Returns for PC, PS3 and X360 features locations known from the original story, however, they were recreated in a much darker, distorted way.
