As the game progresses, the lines between reality and Wonderland blur, and Alice must stop the train before it wipes out her mind.Īt its heart, "Alice: Madness Returns" is a platformer game that requires winding through a level with lots of jumping around to get from point to point. Upon her arrival, she discovers that it is being slowly destroyed by an Infernal Train, a huge locomotive that leaves destruction in its wake, including creatures made of oil and machines. The strain of dealing with those memories causes Alice to return to what she believes is the safety of Wonderland.
The game starts out with Alice living in Victorian London under the care of a doctor who is trying to help her deal with memories of a fire that killed her family. This is not Disney's "Alice in Wonderland," and the visuals and subject matter are definitely adult. The new title (Rogue Entertainment, Electronic Arts) is a follow-up to the 2000 PC and Mac game, "American McGee's Alice." Our heroine has been through the looking glass, and in and out of a psychiatric ward, but she's still battling for her sanity.įirst of all, this is an M (Mature)-rated game, and they aren't kidding.
(CNN) - "Alice: Madness Returns" is full of twisted imagery, strange combat weapons and puzzles that don't really tax the imagination.
