Spooky & dark. Just the way it should be.

I enjoyed the linear-ness of this game, having just finished a couple of games which had me hunting obscure places, re-searching and back tracking, I was glad of a game that led me so obviously onward. It didn't detract from the fact that there was still some skill involved going up against the enemies, and some of the floating jumps were quite difficult at first. I loved the story as a kid and felt that Disney had managed to crucify it, so I was glad to find this dark tale from my childhood re-live. It was a dark tale too - a small child falls down a deep hole, suffers from hallucinations, panic attacks, powerlessness.... of course it should be dark and grey and menacing and straight out of the head of a mental health patient! Easy gameplay on PC, you don't need three hands to play it (as one game I've played recently seemed to demand lol). Maybe it's just for true die-hard Alice fans who are wondering what happened after she returned from Looking Glass World.
