She returned to Wonderland to defeat the ruthless Red Queen and restore her own sanity, but now she must return once more to discover what really happened the night of the fire.

There's a method to the madness

This is the sequel to the first game in the series of American McGee's Alice. The series is developed by EA, yes, you read that right. EA has made an out of the box game in the past, crazy right. Alice: Madness Returns is a game idea I thought I would never see, taking a beloved animated kids’ film like Alice in Wonderland and changed it into a very dark psychological hack and slashhorror game. The studio owned by EA; Spicy House is actually meant to be in the process of making a sequel to this game.

More games should do this!

Alice: Madness Returns is set after the original game but is still set in the Wonderland. It starts with Alice having a hallucination because of the traumatic death of her family due to a fire. The hallucination gets worse until she wakes up back in a familiar world to her wonderland. Although it’s not as she remembers. Wonderland has been corrupted by something, not of Wonderland called Infernal Train which has been destroying the land. After finding this out she sets out on a journey to stop the corruption of Wonderland and find out more about her patchy past.

Darker but still Alice

The graphics are from the Unreal Engine but are the Unreal 3 before 4 was a thing. The game doesn’t look as good as some modern games, most likely due to the engine being behind modern games but that’s more to the date of release of the game than a problem. The way the game has been converted from a 2D kids cartoon movie to a fully animated 3D hack and slash, the horror-inspired video game had to be a hard thing to do and they’ve managed to pull it off pretty well. I hope that they get their hands on maybe more kids cartoons and turn them into 18+ nightmare versions of themselves as to its just a concept that hasn’t been explored in video games except for this game. Also, they do all-time in films so why not make kids' stories into horror games...

How could it possibly get any madder?

The gameplay of Alice: Madness Returns is a classic hack and slash reminds me a bit of Lollipop chainsaw but without the humour element to it and focusing more on the horror aspect in this game. As it dives into the madness of Alice through the game, you fight different enemies like the Lost Souls’ and the Drowned Sailor. If the name of the enemies doesn’t tell that this game isn’t a horror game and your main weapon is a kitchen knife. That’s probably one of the scariest things in the kitchen people! Even the shrinking potion has been used from the film, making it into a mechanic which grants you an ability to sneak. The game takes everything from the cartoon movie and turns into something dark and mad.

It’s still Alice but for a darker generation

This game is such a simple idea taking what is originally there and making it a darker experience. It's been done so much in films, it's time for it to start in gaming and with this game. This game proves that it’s possible as the experience of playing as Alice through a darker version of the original story was really enjoyable.

Alice Madness Returns

Alice madness returns

Alice: Madness Returns is a 3rd-person action-adventure platform game from Spicy Horse, published in 2011 by Electronic Arts. Madness Returns is a sequel to American McGee's Alice from 2000. The game follows Alice Liddell, a girl suffering from unusual trauma, caused by a family tragedy. Alice lives in an orphanage for mentally traumatized orphans, and is under supervision of Dr. Angus Bumby. To get rid of the trauma, she once again falls into Wonderland, where a new evil force has corrupted it.
Alice believes that she is responsible for a fire that consumed her home and family, so she escapes into a twisted version of Wonderland.
A couple of years earlier, Alice was held at Rutledge Asylum for treatment, and she was actually able to conquer her doubts and fears. She was then released from the ward, and placed in the orphanage instead. This is where Madness Returns takes place. The year is 1875, the place is Victorian London. Alice still suffers from hallucinations and visions of Wonderland, but they are kept in check by doctor Angus.
One day, as Alice is walking outside of the orphanage, one of her hallucinations, a white cat, takes her to Wonderland once again. She arrives in a beautiful and magical forest with strange plants and flowers in vivid colors. Everything seems peaceful, but as moves through the landscape, the beauty becomes corrupted and twisted. Alice must fight several weird beings and she encounters all kinds of environments, both beautiful and scary.
