Repetitive and unimaginative gameplay, especially by modern standards, but great story and visual style.
American McGee's Alice has a great concept. Take Alice in Wonderland, and turn it into a creepy, horrifying exploration of Alice's psyche after her parents were killed in a fire and she was put into a mental hospital. ... Read Full Review

A third-person shooter - go from A to B - kill a lot along the way. Memorable opponents, great visuals, twisted story.
If you liked the original Doom, Heretic or Hexen games, then you will probably like Alice. It captures the essence of these classic shooters in that it contains many levels, with a lot of fighting, weapons and power-ups... Read Full Review

American McGee's twist on Alice's fable is deliciously darker than Dodgson's original.

Definitely worth trying, but as of 2010, do not expect anything spectacular other than the unique atmosphere.

Worth playing, but you'll be bored well before it's over.
This game is a few years old so I picked it up for cheap because I prefer games of this generation and I didn't want to push my system too hard with the latest games. I'm glad I did since I enjoy the Alice in Wonderland ... Read Full Review

You'll never look at Alice in Wonderland the same way again.
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

The absorbing, nightmarish atmosphere sets the stage for a game that's creative and fresh throughout its entire length.
