I dunno seems like some peeps are having trouble to play other than Modern Shooters.

Platformers aren't the only genre struggling look at Mass Effect or Dragon Age series.. they don't have stellar sales either.

In my case I'm enjoying a lot this tittle: Visuales + Art direction are really good!

I love 3D platformers... sad that people actually think they shouldn't be made anymore. This is an excellent one.

Personally, I wish there were a lot more 3d platformers, and less FPS games. But then again, I might be insane, what with living in 2011 and all.

Ratchet & Clank, dog.

First of all, I am really impressed with Ryan's review of this game, I think  it's maybe one of the best written reviews on the site this year.   Now, I'm a  fan of the original Alice, but I wasn't looking forward for Madness Returns for a simple reason: I don't think 3D platformers work anymore. Jumping around from one island to the next is not intuitive at all in this type of games, and the camera is universally problematic. Back in 2001, this genre was very popular, so Alice was one of the stand-out games due to its unique subject matter. Nowadays, I just don't see a purpose for game mechanics like this. Fortunately, after 2 hours of playing Alice 2 I am enjoying the game somewhat, but I think it's mostly due to the fantastic look and the great soundtrack. I really like the "adventure" parts, and I think some of the voice acting is great. But the level design and combat are lacking, in my opinion. They just seem archaic and clumsy.   Also, I find it funny that some people complain to EA that they didn't get their pre-order dresses with the game. Just the idea of male gamers upset that they can't change Alice's DRESS is..  Edit: Nevermind actually I saw a video with those DLC dresses and they're badass. I might actually buy them right now. 

I'm going to trade in LA Noire on Alice sometime soon because it is 3d platformer, a new Banjo game or something like DK64 would probably be the most exciting thing anyone could announce for me right now.

I wish there were more 3D platformers.

We need more Gex the Gecko.  Like now.

I always liked platformers. I do feel like this game definitely has an old school feel to it, but that's what makes it so much fun for me. Plus it looks and runs great (after some .ini tweaks to unlock the 30fps cap BOOO) on my relatively old PC.

Yeah man, 3D platformers just don't work. Remember how awful Mario Galaxy 2 was?
