There's a steam sale going on for this for the weekend deal for $15. I enjoyed the first Alice when I played it way back when and saw this one got quite mixed reviews. Just wanted to see how the community feels about it.

If you liked the first one, this is much better. The gameplay is quite nice and the story is not bad at all.

Yes.

I thought the gameplay was a bit boring, but the atmosphere was great, if not spread a bit too thin.

Wishing I had waited for this deal though...

Yes! I thought the game was great.
 
The gameplay, the environment/enemy design, story are all great. The mini games are all pretty awful though, and there are quite a few of them too D:
 
Also, just keep in mind that in order to play at ~60 FPS you might have to edit an .ini file.

Yes. For $15 it's well worth it, also the PC is the best version.

jesus, only 15$? Looks like im buying another steam game!

yes, I had a lot of fun with it

If only i could run it. A friend of mine has a similar hardware setup almost the exact same. We can both run the original crysis, on mostly medium/high settings. But, he can't get alice to run at all with a decent framerate. It requires a pretty decent modern puter. Gosh, i almost want to buy it on the pc though, and wait until i get a decent rig later on. But, all depends on how massive this download is

Yes. Not to mention that you're a fan of the first game too, so there's really no possible counterargument as to why wouldn't you enjoy it.

Huh... 15 bucks? I'm in.

Oh wait. No thanks.

@TwoLines: It's one thing when they pull a 1 Dollar = 1 Euro nonsense, but this is too much.

That game is kinda meh.

@TwoLines: Hey, duder. I think that there is something wrong with your screen. The letters are all jumbled up.

Edit: In all seriousness though, I like the game pretty well. If anyone is itching from some older platforming type action go for it.

Yep, but I suggest playing it in chunks. Can get pretty tedious otherwise.

I payed full price and don't regret it.

I would've bought it for 15e but it's 25 for whatever reason. It's 19,90 over at Origin, I guess EA's trying to herd euros there.

Not going to happen.

Only get this if you have a controller, mouse controls are absolutely awful.

I know, I've tried everything but it stays messed up. Don't worry though, I can read that shit.

I picked it up after watching the Quick Look and don't regret it thus far. Maybe I have a different set of expectations for fifteen bucks, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Didn't have more than a passing curiosity about it when it released, but I'm really pretty glad I picked it up.

It's worth the full price.

for $15, of course! any (full price) game that got at least "good" reviews is worth 15 bucks

@burnin_squirrrl: I picked it up this weekend. Total steal at $15. Looks great with a little bit of occasional chop on my Phenom II X4 965@3.4GHz/8 GB RAM/nVidia GTX 460 1GB @1080p. Definitely play with a controller if you can, very good XBOX Controller for PC support and as @zaglis says above, it's a bit bit wonky w/ mouse+kb, particularly the lock on aiming.

oh, how i wish i had a good PC ><

Absolutely! That game is quite good.

Stupid game crashes at the loading screen >:

I uninstalled it. My experience was a waste of 25 bucks. I hear its not bad though.

Is 50 euros the price of a new game in your region? If so, it's ridiculous that Steam still hasn't given that game a price drop in your region.

For North American Steam users, the game has been dropped down to 30 US dollars (from 50), for some time, I think.

It was something I wanted to see but nothing I thought I'd finish, but I'm actually really blown away at how much I'm digging it.

Standing at a cliff edge with an insane vista of teapot-clockwork in the distance and the most god-damn incredible looking hair whipping in the wind has been worth it for me alone.

I bought this on a whim last night and I'm so glad I did because this game is fucking fantastic.

It's still on sale until tomorrow morning (10am PST). If your PC can run it, GO BUY IT NOW.

this sounds like your computer is at fault, not the game :D Or maybe you needed to reinstall it as your first could have been corrupted somehow.

This game so far has been worth all 15$ That I have paid. Not very far but it has been fun none the less.

I would say very much so, its real cool and is fun to play.

I bought it at full price still have to play it. But at this point in time, I do not regret it. I didn't know I'd lag, and I heard that remark about using a controller. Will do.

re: Controller. I'd in the middle of chapter 3 right now, and about 50% completion. Been using the M&K the entire time* and I think the controls are just fine. I remapped lock-on to my mouse's thumb button and then quickly adapted to everything else. The controls aren't bad.

* Did plug one in to check them briefly. Had my usual PC gamer difficulties with a controller, wildly swinging the camera around and feeling out of my element. Looks like it maps directly to the Xbox controls if you plug a 360 controller in, though. Which seems nice for those who want it.

In my opinion, it was worth it at $60.

Just get it.

The Steam sale is over, but I'm guessing you can still get the game for $12 on Origin (coupon code ORIGIN60) and for $15 from Amazon.

Yes.

I paid full price for it and thought it was great!

Sure, but get ready to do some repetitive stuff... The 2nd half of the game gets really old.

I took my CD key from the Steam purchase and also activated it on Origin. It probably serves no purpose at all given that mmost EA games use online activation, but it was interesting that I could do it. I also registered my ME2, Dragon Age Origins: Ultimate Edition and Burnout Paradise. Redundancy is pretty cool.

I actually ended up buying it and am having a pretty good time with it so far (just beat Batman a couple days ago so good timing.) Using a controller seems to be working out well and also edited the engine file so it's running at 60 fps and looks fantastic!

I think this game is extremely underrated.

Yes get it. Also, as a bonus you get access to a Orgin copy of the game as well. And heads up you DO have to have a Orgin/EA account to play the game.

I purchased my copy for £15. Worth it for me.

No. This game is terrible. Spend your money on anything else. Literally anything. Get Bad Day L.A. if you have to.

I bought it for full price whe it was released and I don't regret a single second of it, loved every bit of that game.

Yes. Played it on the 360 at launch & is quite a lovely looking game, the gameplay isn't all that great but the setting & overall art style of the game makes it quite a gem.

@burnin_squirrrl:

Being a huge fan of the first game, I was a bit disappointed by it. I expected it to be much darker, but it goes more into the fantasy direction. But for 15 bucks, sure, give it a try :)

Yes but the game is pretty long.

Like you will be playing a level and you will think it should be wrapping up soon, and it will go for two or three more hours.

Its funny what perspective can do but $15/£7.49 seems kind of expensive to be in the Steam Sale, considering as well the game came out a year ago.
