Reviews around story (3.95 of 5)

  • It's like any one of them can tell her the story of her life and refuses to.
  • It's a great game, has a good story line, and is just an amazing game to play
  • This game is a great story, nice graphics, and a great history, at least to me that i liked the books.
  • The story of Alice in Wonderland has been exploited in a variety of fun, dark, alternative or imaginative ways.
  • I won't recap the story or spoil anything, so let's just say it's dark and earns its mature rating.

Reviews around title (3.95 of 5)

  • I love this title because it doesn't do the same ol' repetitive slash and hacking or shooting, its a game in its own right, with decent difficulty
  • I have no problem with a developer who exploits a title (such as Alice in Wonderland, Inferno), but such titles are so well read and understood, give the title some respect, get into the depth of the story and its characters.
  • MR is a great title, albeit with problems that made me go WTF several times
  • it was great good condition and everything it played fine never skipped or froze i was completely satisfied with this game
  • Madness Returns was an extremely entertaining title that leaves lasting

Reviews around deal (3.86 of 5)

  • Overall:I thought it is a good game and a great deal if you get two games for the price of one.
  • BUT the game still sets an amazing aesthetic feel to the story which trumps a good deal of the bad stuff
  • The Wonderland characters all know a great deal more than Alice even in all their Madness.
  • Not smooth as it should be.
  • I have been away on deployment with the military for a little while and she has been somewhat bored as of

Reviews around combat (3.68 of 5)

  • It's a lovely game with great combat, but it can get a little repetitive for me at times
  • At first, I hated the combat until I learned not to lock onto enemies unless I needed to
  • The combat is repetitive, but again, you're not constantly fighting and they do manage to introduce new enemies to keep the feeling new
  • When a few different enemiescome at you, you must decide which ones to take out first; this is when combat gets tricky.
  • If you love platforming and awesome combat with an incredible story and art design, this game is awesome

Reviews around way (3.67 of 5)

  • I have been away on deployment with the military for a little while and she has been somewhat bored as of
  • When playing a level, once you figure out that the puzzle of the level is to take the long, convoluted way around to accomplish the goal, the game is no longer a challenge.
  • Playing the game felt forced and tiring in a bad way instead of having fun
  • The colors in the backgrounds and scenery can range from absolutely breath-taking, to horrifically morbid (in a good way)
  • That way you can take advantage of the code for the original game!

Reviews around gameplay (3.55 of 5)

  • The gameplay is difficult without being impossible or having to constantly interrupt gameplay to check a guide (something I've never been a fan of) unless you want 100% completion
  • The gameplay is fun, the soundtrack is great, and the atmosphere and art style have seriously impressed me throughout the game.
  • Gameplay is very addicting and the graphics are excellent
  • I have been away on deployment with the military for a little while and she has been somewhat bored as of
  • It is this area where the gameplay tends to weaken I feel.

Reviews around weapon (3.38 of 5)

Reviews around alice (2.77 of 5)

  • I would suggest this game, especially if you love Alice in Wonderland
  • but I am so very happy that this Alice is darker than the "original"
  • I have this game for the PS3, and really I had gotten it for my sister who loves Alice in Wonderland and all the different versions of the story and games (I like them
  • I liked how in the older game you could battle Wonderland characters, but here they were just there to encourage/hinder Alice

Reviews around twist (2.01 of 5)

  • Also I could see how this game might not be peoples favorite games, so if you not much into Alice in Wonderland and dark twisted stories, either don't buy the game or wait for a price drop.
  • The hype for this game, and the teaser made me think this would be a very dark, creepy, twisted, trippy kind of game.
  • A good older game, and really cool and darker twist to Alice In Wonderland
  • This is as dark as the original game was and with plenty of more dark twists and turns to it
  • Visually the game is "different", with a sick-twisted dark sadistic feel

Reviews around damage (1.85 of 5)

  • It has a broken system, the attacks don't do damage unless lined up and sometimes the jumps doesn't always work
  • However, when you do take damage and then finally die, you're punished sometimes with a respawn all the way back to a spot at the beginning of the chapter
  • I have been away on deployment with the military for a little while and she has been somewhat bored as of
  • I have been away on deployment with the military for a little while and she has been somewhat bored as of
  • Call it what you will, but I attribute it to the fragmented mind of Alice herself; there is too much in this game that looks so good as to fault the programmers for areas (especially London) where it's seemingly lifeless and devoid of rich textures.

Reviews around camera (1.71 of 5)

  • I have been away on deployment with the military for a little while and she has been somewhat bored as of
  • There are a few inexcusable game design flaws (horrible camera angles, directional movement reversing when coming out of holes, focus on the rabbit bomb while trying to finish a times test which eats away an easy couple seconds.4
  • The camera during some of the platforming doesn't follow that well, and I often fell of the map or jumped right into a trap

Reviews around enemy (1.59 of 5)

  • The weapons are at least interesting as well as the enemies.
  • You will start with the Vorpal blade, but you will eventually get the pepper grinder (a gattling gun for long range), hobby horse (a club that breaks through enemy defense), a teapot cannon (projectile explodes and damages multiple enemies and breakable objects), and a white rabbit decoy doll (distracts enemies, destroy breakable objects, or used as a weight to solve puzzles).
  • Her Vorpal blade was great for close range quick attacks, but could take longer to kill some enemies
  • The enemies are fun to tackle and the array of weapons keeps things interesting
  • " Alice is unwittingly thrown back against nightmarish enemies with her trusty Vorpal Blade ("keen and swift," the Cheshire Cat purrs), a Pepper Grinder, and a couple of other surprises for you to discover.

Reviews around wall (1.33 of 5)

  • Her primary weapon is a vorpal blade, but she can also use a pepper grinder to rapidly hit a target from afar, a teapot cannon to launch an area attack, a hobby horse that can be used for powerful strikes or breaking down fragile walls, an umbrella to reflect the enemies attack and a clockwork bomb that attracts enemies or can be used as counterweight for various puzzles

  • Each level having it's own dress for her, suited to the theme of the overall level (a black steampunk-inspired dress with and combat boots for the level full of clockwork machinations of the Mad Hatter; a dress themed after a fish with which Alice goes barefoot and without leggings/tights for the level that takes place under the sea; and of course the "classic" dress with the gothic black and white stripped tights and tall combat boots for effect)
  • We have memories of the mysterious Cheshire Cat with his crazy smile, the crazy mad hatter obsessed with tea, the queen of hearts with her card soldier army, and many more memorable moments
  • On her journey, she comes across some familiar characters like the caterpillar, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts

Reviews around puzzle (1.00 of 5)

  • Nah, but seriously, the puzzles in this game aren't that bad at all, and even if you do end up getting stuck (which I doubt you will), we are fortunate to live in an age where we have all the answers to our questions at our fingertips (the internet)
  • The puzzles aren't too hard but enough to keep you interested
  • Treating each enemy as a specific puzzle while learning the ins and outs of combat was incredibly satisfying
  • 3 actually, one is just a bomb/puzzle solver, but the combo system is nothing like a God of War or Arkham Asylum experience, mostly just hitting the square button over and over again.

  • Slide, navigate obstacles while sliding down a huge slide
  • it was great good condition and everything it played fine never skipped or froze i was completely satisfied with this game
