What Gamespot Users have to say about Alice: Madness Returns

  • Rating:6.5

    beautiful environments, cute outfits for alice, but horribly linear, thoughtless gameplay.

    If anything, this installment of Alice is *too* coherent. Supposedly you play as a psychologically broken Alice (hence her trips into Wonderland), but all the story elements just tie together too well and make the ending... Read Full Review

    First of all, character design is incredible...the rest...not so much.

    First of all, character design is incredible, I loved watching new characters and outfits for Alice, but the gameplay was so damn boring, at first it was fun, but by the Oriental part it was: enter a room, slide, jump a ... Read Full Review

    An aesthetically ambitious game which becomes boring quickly.

    Alice Madness Returns plays decently as a game, but it doesn't succeed to offer to the player a complete gaming experience, due to some bad game structure and bad design choices. I would say that the problems of Alice a... Read Full Review

    Great artistic designs and concept are deeply marred by simplistic and repetitive gameplay.

    I wanted to like this game. From what I read into to it, I sort of expected Tomb Raider with good controls, camera and more fun combat. And yes, Alice does have all those things. What it lacks however, is fun and variati... Read Full Review

    Love how she lashes out in Hysteria Mode

    I'm a lover of the occult; and when you mix dark fantasy (well most versions of Alice seem to be all rainbows and unicorns if you get my drift) with a disturbed little girl, it clicks. It's cute.. but not the "cute" in ... Read Full Review

    Alice: Madness Returns

    Alice: Madness Returns is, as the title suggests, loosely based on the tale of Alice in Wonderland. However, the story in this game is far from a fairy tale. This dark, twisted, and disturbingly sad tale follows Alice th... Read Full Review

    This game looked awesome when i first saw the trailers and so far its exceeding my expectations :)

    The first thing that i noticed about the game was that the graphics and atmosphere are aesthetically beautiful. This stems from the lush greenery, to the delicate animations of flowers, to the turgid black mess of enemie... Read Full Review

    Puzzles are too easy.

    Currently I'm really enjoying Alice: Madness Returns in a NewGame+ Loved the first playthrough for all the great artwork and sound surrounding me, and hated it for a sometimes sloppy camera. And I almost refuse to ad... Read Full Review

    Nice!

    I will shoot at the top right now. I loved this game for perfect rendering of Alice and her wonderland. The Steampunk dress with its full Gothic appeal stroke a cord in my metal loving heart. A vision of a dream girl. T... Read Full Review
