The Queen of Hearts cruelly rules the land, the White Rabbit is tattered, the Cheshire Cat sports a pirate earring and a mangy, emaciated look, and the Mad Hatter is even madder than before. Alice, armed with her characteristic politeness, athletic ability, and a large knife, must venture through this dark Wonderland righting wrongs while thwarting the Queen and her army of playing-card guards.
The game itself uses an over-the-shoulder perspective and has Alice running, jumping, and swinging from ropes like a younger and primmer Lara Croft. Controls are easy to use and aside from difficult jumping puzzles and an odd problem where Alice slides on surfaces, the game is easy to play. Wonderland here is dark, like a Tim Burton film, but still easily recognizable to fans of the classic novel. If anything the game is woefully linear--there's only one path and therefore no need to replay the game after you've finished it. The result is a game that feels more constrained and conservative than its source material should have allowed, but the atmosphere makes for an exciting action-adventure nonetheless. "Mature" subject matter is strewn throughout, so always remember that this is not an E-ticket Disney ride.--Bob Andrews
Pros:
- Gorgeous, wicked graphics
- Excellent use of Carroll's famous characters
- High system requirements

Customer Reviews of American McGee's Alice (Jewel Case)
Alice for adults and I don't mean nasty stuff. If Alice the book puzzled me when I was a kid, Alice by McGee scared me and puzzled me as adult. It is a bizzare/inteligent remix of a story, sort of sequel to a book, and you have to think and jump and solve puzzles, not only go forward, spot enemy and shoot going backwards like in Quake 4. Graphics is stylish and suits atmosphere. <

>Friend of mine who is hardcore horror fan told me Alice scared her because the game is about child put in a role of shooter. Oh well. <

>Like I said in one of my reviews, I play/try FPS once in a year, but ALice and Undying are coolest horror/FP shooters since Wolfenstein 3D by ID software, I think it was 1992? <

>Where else do you use Ice Thrower, dices or music box as a weapon?

Buy it from Amazon
Overstock.com ripped me off and I could have gotten it here from an Amazon seller for $6 cheaper, but I didn't realize it until a while after the fact because I couldn't find the game anywhere and simply forgot about Amazon somehow.

>The game is very good (the keyboard/mouse controls are a bit annoying to me as sometimes you have to jump around in tight positions and I'd like a gamepad for that), but it was a little hard to find, but if you're reading this, I'm telling you that your best shot pricewise is from an Amazon seller.
