    Fun platformer, with really imaginative characters and environmen

    Fun platformer, with really imaginative characters and environments. I often stopped just to gaze at the impressive vistas. It has a good story that kept me interested in what had caused Alice's madness and it ended up darker than I expected. The platforming was solid and the controls were very responsive. Aside from some camera issues when locked on to enemies, the combat was pretty fun and more strategic then i expected. You die pretty quickly if you just try to button mash your way through. Good things aside, the PC port is pretty rough, especially with an AMD graphics card. The frame rate gets really bad in fights due to the over use or poor implementation of PhysX, and I ran into 2 repeatable loading screen crash bugs. One at the end that prevented progress and forced me to swap out my save game and reload from chapter select. This ended up souring what was otherwise a very enjoyable and challenging game.

      It's hard to believe, but American McGee's Alice was released ten years ago. I'm finding myself constantly incredulous when I realize just how old most video games are. I mean, thinking about it:Half-Life 2, a genre defining game, came out in 2004. Kind of hard to believe, isn't it?It doesn't seem so long ago.Anyways, we're not here to talk about that but rather about Alice: Madness Returns, the sequel to the 2000 game. Allow me to bring you up to speed: American McGee's Alice depicted a Wonderl...
