American McGee's Alice

I don't understand what's all the fuss about

The premise was great, a retelling of the "Alice in Wonderland" story originally written by Lewis Carroll, in which Alice is a mental patient that returns to a deformed and gothic wonderland. A great premise, but I was greatly disappointed of this game, the graphics were not all that good at the time it got out, and the game play was also disappointing, easy and frustrating.
Maybe I had high expectations of this game; after all it was an American Mcgee game. Maybe it is a good bargain now, if you can still find it as a second hand purchase, I don't know.
I really didn't (and don't) understand what the fuss was all about.
Not the sharpest tool in American Mcgee's Chandelier.
