Now, Fiance is entirely too touchy about how I played the 2nd game before beating the 1st one, but I think he's just mad that I beat Madness Returns before he did.
I very rarely do video game reviews, but this game was so absolutely fantastic that I felt compelled to share it with you all.
Of course, most of you know that I love love love Alice in Wonderland. Pretty much everything about it. The old cartoon movie. The new movie with Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter. And if I remember correctly there was a TV series back in the day. Anyways, I love it all. Before Madness Returns came out, I didn't know that there was a part 1 to the game. But part 2 looked so amazing, I skipped part 1.
This game is dark. Alice is dark. The story is dark. I love it. I mean, look at her.

It was actually pretty easy too, but Fiance and I believe that I have a depth perception problem, and this game involves a lot of jumping onto platforms and such that I think are right in front of Alice when they are actually like 10 feet away. I fell....a lot. But other than that, not too bad. She carries around a knife for slicing, a hobbit horse for smashing, a pepper sprayer thingy for shooting and a tea pot for throwing hot bombs at her opponents.
I would get so angry when I had to put the game down. It pretty much hooked me from the beginning. If I had had the time, I would have probably played for hours.
I highly recommend the game to anyone...except maybe children. It is a little...bloody. And when Alice is almost dead, she goes into Hysteria mode and she cannot be hurt, but she looks like this...

Always love hearing from you JM. Creepy doesn't always have to be bad does it? I'm not into video games because I have no hand eye coordination but they are entertaining to say the least.
LOL - I'm not a gamer, except for the little kid games and Isaiah always beats me. hehehe!
This looks nuts! Is it a computer game or is it on other consoles? I'm super intrigued!
Oh wow.
Looks crazy! You know, I know nothing about video games. Seriously. I sang in a concert last weekend (I sing with the Houston Symphony Chorus) where it was all Final Fantasy music played by the symphony, and the crowd went NUTS over it and I had never heard of any of those songs before! I feel like such a loser. lol
Last video game I played with any addiction was Kingdom Hearts. Havent even picked up the controller to the xBox 360 and somehow I cant see my boys choosing an Alice game no matter how gory.
Sounds like you had fun though.
Onto the next one?
This looks downright creepy. I always was curious about how Alice would act if we happened upon her during a prolonged crack bender. Now, I know.
I think Holly would love this game as she is nuts on Alice in Wonderland too :)
Although the original Alice in Wonderland is sort of dark - that game appears downright sinister. WOW.
Nice job beating it.
It was pretty awesome, guys! And yes, its on consoles. I don't believe its a computer game, although the first one may have been.
