American McGee's Alice

A nightmarish, bizarre, outlook to Carroll's classic character

Alice is a great game that depicts a strange "reality" that Alice faces in her own subconscious mind, and as such, is filled with dreamscapes, a lot more nightmarish than pleasant, but still jaw-dropping. The sole use of such great artwork grants Alice a place as a great game.

However, it's not without it's flaws, and unfortunately, these aren't slight flaws. The camera suffers from great difficulties, and it often hides Alice from the player, at the most awkward times. Also, even if it's a good action game, half of the weapons don't get used ever, so it's got serious game-balance issues as well.

Anyway, I would recommend anyone to give it a try, if only for the great scenery from the start 'till the end.
