I'm writing this review about Alice a few years after I played it last, but I will be playing it again in the next few days. When American McGee's Alice first came out, it had to be one of the most revolutionary games of its era for the PC, up to that point no other game had taken full advantage of 3D graphics as Alice did. To prove this point, it is still recommended and supported on Microsoft's newest Vista operating system and also takes full advantage of Nvidia's newest SLI game graphics technology. That's a "Wow" in my book.

The game, Alice, explores the underlying dark, sinister side of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Even though you'll recognize the character's from your childhood memories, they'll definitely be presented in a new light. The storyline is really good, an insane Alice trying to regain her sanity and her travels through a "different" Wonderland to do so. The game plays smoothly with very simple controls. You'll be fascinated by all of the brilliant colors and superior animated graphics. A lot of attention was given to detail when this game was made and why it will remain a classic for years to come.

  American McGee's Alice is a very, VERY dark version of Lewis Caroll's story. Or, one could argue that the original story was just as dark, but the game makes it much more obvious. You decide. The game starts showing h... Read Full Review
