I will say that as an experience this is a game you have to play. The controls do take a while to get used to, but I would bet that the story will hook you as will the creepy presentation that you will want to stick with it. I know my score is a little high, but that is because I think this is one of the most creative takes on a fairy tale in history!
Wonderland is a place of childish dreams and fanciful memories for Alice. But after failing to save her parents from a fiery death, Alice finds herself in a sanitarium, her already fragile psyche fractured. Lost in her own world, Alice delves back into Wonderland and discovers that due to her ruined state, Wonderland has become a twisted, sick, and dangerous world.
Once there, Alice finds that the Evil Queen is back in power, that some of her former friends are now her enemies and ultimately the only way for her to straighten things out is to find the Queen and basically butcher her. Along the way, the Cheshire Cat assists her with abstract clues, Turtle leads her through the water maze and the Mad Hatter tries to kill her. This is not the Fairy Tale that Walt Disney made into a cartoon so many years ago.
Match wits and weapons with the denizens of Wonderland, finding strange and cruel devices. Alice is an adventure game viewed in the 3rd person. Alice runs around solving strange puzzles and mini quests; along the way she meets up with some very familiar faces. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, the Mad Hatter, March Hare, and others have all been given the once over as Wonderland twists and contorts from its former version.
Selecting the level of difficulty, I picked "Nightmare" allows for your tempo of play. The harder the level, the more enemies and problems you will encounter. As you begin the game, Alice starts off with the butcher knife, which she wields with deadly accuracy. Slicing and throwing it, she eventually acquires the croquet mallet, the playing cards, the dice, and other strange weapons. Each weapon has a primary and secondary function that you can bind to the controls.
I found it easiest to set up the game similar to my first person shooter controls, using the mouse wheel to scroll through the weapons. The weapons are original and refreshingly wicked. I would have been disappointed to see the same old guns and explosives that are in every other game and fortunately this was not the case.
There is something deliciously inviting watching a woman wipe the blood off of 14 inch butcher knife. As Alice continues her journey, expect to navigate strange areas never found in the original Alice in Wonderland , such as the school, ant tunnels after being shrunk again , and strange gnome caves. While jumping and running is a must, there are other levels that require swimming and coal cars. As I played, I was giddy with anticipation as to what would happen next in this strange game.
Any time I felt a little lost as for what to do, I called the Cheshire Cat, who would promptly appear and give a vague clue as to what should happen next. Personally, I would have liked to see the cat fight along with Alice occasionally, as he has always seemed a bit sinister and now with his mangy punk rock look, I thought he could really tear someone up. Alas, he never did. Mini cut-scenes popped up often and would direct Alice as to what needed to be done next. The turn as an insect sized human was to be expected, but this reviewer was in awe of the impressive attention to detail and battles one would expect if shrunken down to the size of an ant.
With dive bombing bees and angry fire ants, Alice has her hands full -- add in the crumbling ground and the trek down river which was probably a trickle and it makes the need to save often even more critical. Luckily, killing most opponents results in a life icon that will give Alice a much needed boost.
My personal fave was when Alice first fell into the water without getting out in time -- a large mouthed fish came up and swallowed her whole. What a grisly fate. As far as actions are concerned, Alice runs around and does the typical jump and attack thing, but must have learned a trick or two from Lara Croft because she can jump up to ledges and hang or shimmy along a ledge lip.
Now, since avoiding the enemies is often far wiser then attacking, using this trick will prove most valuable. Another plus of this game is the enemy A. Often the guards or other bad guys would gang up on me by backing me into a corner or each other, a move that would result in my death many times. I was impressed. Most of the time I was running, as the bad guys were best picked off at a safe distance.
Finally, the bosses of this game were done very well, all had the appropriate twisted look to them and so as not to ruin any gaming experiences, usually were unexpected. Doing battle involved timing and being fleet of foot, since Alice possesses no sort of armor or magic set fire to the Duchess and run like hell. Alice is a single player game, but in this reviewer's opinion would make one heck of a multiplayer game with its nasty, nasty weapons. To me, a game like Alice , even with its friendly controls and easy to learn gameplay would be enjoyable even without good graphics.
Fortunately, this is not a problem. Alice has tremendous atmosphere, brought on by stylish coloring and rendering. With no lag and sharp edges, the action comes at a brisk pace.
A fine job done by the EA team. Frankly I was surprised there were any in such a graphically superior game. Release December 5, Date Added December 1, Operating Systems.

I really want to play this game and I can't afford a physical copy so it would suck if I can only play the introduction but not progress pass that.
I don't know what to do and would love some help. I had this game as an actual physical copy and played the hell out of it as a kid, but now it doesn't work on my Windows 10 laptop, so this is really helpful. Thanks for bringing back one of my favorite games :.
The only way to leave the game is to quit and close it down. Any ideas if this can be fixed? TheNiclas 1 point.

Being torn by its distorted psyche, this place is not the same as it was before, but a twisted and macabre version of it.
Very similar to the story of Silent Hill 2, the characters in this universe are a representation of Alice's emotions, so many of them return as enemies. Thus, only with the help of the white rabbit and the Cheshire Cat, the heroine embarks on a dangerous mission where violence is the only way to solve the problems.
At the beginning of the adventure, Alice must visit 9 provinces, now dystopian versions of the places she used to happily frequent. To finish with their inhabitants, she has several toys modified to serve as weapons, such as dices, cards, or surprise boxes. On the sides of the screen, there are two big bars, one red and the other blue. The red bar represents the sanity of the protagonist, which will be reduced when Alice is attacked and will kill her when emptied.
