Does anyone know how the game sold? I hope enough it's enough for a sequel and I haven't played it yet! I just feel that original games like this, Shadow of the Dammed etc should be getting sequels rather than Call of Duty and Halo. So, anyone have the sale figures?

Thanks.

Not well, I think.

VGChartz says something around 70k, but that's probably not including DD sales. Though I hear VGChartz is rather inaccurate so I wouldn't go by that alone. Now, I don't know how the Top Sellers list on Steam works exactly, but Alice stayed near the very top for quite some time.

i heard a comment from a analyst saying it sold 10times more than shadow of the damned... if shadows sold 24k, then one would assume alice did 240k-ish

@Vexed: It's making people narrow minded. And being narrow minded is killing originality.

Out of place CoD bashing is not very original, either.

@Vexed What's not great about it? Looks amazing to me.

Just about everything looks great in trailers, but until you play it, then you really can't say anything one way or another about its quality.

I loved it but just rented it.

The first game sold very, very poorly and that was 3 years before Call of Duty even existed. So no, it's not making people narrow minded or having any real effect on sales of different and unique games. It's amazing how it even got a sequel, really.

It's a decent platformer, for sure, but it relies too heavily on style. You will yawn after the first domain, I can promise you that, since the levels are just way too long and even the art style can't capture you for so much time. Also, the stylization loses steam after the first world (so ironic, considering the Mad Hatter's Factory is steampunk), only to regain some pump when you get to the Red Queen's Castle. There are also problems with narration - the motion-comicky cutscenes do a fairly awful job at explaining what's going on and it only leads to the game feeling cut into pieces before being shipped.

It's alright to play and it has a thick atmosphere all in all, but it simply overstays its welcome.

On the latest U.K all format game charts for the week ending July 9th.  Alice Madness Returns is number 35 dropping from number 30 the previous week.  The chart doesn't give you an exact number of weekly/total sales.

Looks good. I'll buy it sometime later in the year.

You do realize that Halo and Call of Duty were both games that were original as well, right?   And that the only reason they turned into massive franchises was because there were enough people with your "these games deserve sequels, not Final Fantasy and Mario" style mentality? 
 
If you really want original games how about you ask these studios to move on from projects and create something new instead of sequels?

Whatever it sold, it should have sold more. This game is beautiful, in my opinion.

I agree.
