Fun, but rent, don't buy
One thing that makes this game maybe a little too easy is that you can never die. Your character my run out of life, but it regenerates in the exact same spot it was killed.
The one thing I hated about the game is that you never play as Alice. You can only play as her accomplices, The Mad Hatter, The March Hare, McTwisp, Mallymkun, and Chessur Cat. Each has their own unique abilities that can be upgraded through the use of chess pieces found throughout the levels. Each task is built around the specific abilities of each character, which can be really cool, or really frustrating.
The boss battle was extremely disappointing. The whole game is summed up by throwing some rocks. Even in the final battle of the game you still play as Alice's accomplices, aside from a couple of button pushes as Alice's sword.
