• Reviews around combat (3.68 of 5)

    Alice: Madness Returns - Playstation 3

    • The combat is really fun and so is the dodging
    • In conclusion, if you like good platforming, lots of hidden areas to find, a few light puzzles, solid combat, a compelling story and creativity at every turn, this is a must own.
    • Combat - I loved the combat in this game
    • I personally found the combat to be extremely fun and one of the selling points of the game
    • Combat is amazing, albeit the sometimes finicky lock-on system
    • At first, I hated the combat until I learned not to lock onto enemies unless I needed to
    • When a few different enemiescome at you, you must decide which ones to take out first; this is when combat gets tricky.
    • I feel this game is a bit underrated by the critics, as I actually prefer the combat in this game to other recent action games (such as Castlevania: Lord of Shadows), but it isn't quite as finely tuned as some recent entries either.
    • The combat is repetitive, but again, you're not constantly fighting and they do manage to introduce new enemies to keep the feeling new
    • The combat feels repetitive because there's not much substance to it
    • The combat is fun and violent, but it's very simple with just one button for light attacks and another for heavy
    • An absolute must buy for fans of Alice in Wonderland, platformers, and those who love hack n' slash combat
    • Combat is generally pretty solid except for a somewhat awkward lock-on camera
    • Combat shines in Alice
    • Amazing art style that is downright freaky and beautiful, combat and platforming are solid, lots of extras to find, great
    • The combat is amazing
    • If you love platforming and awesome combat with an incredible story and art design, this game is awesome
    • It's a lovely game with great combat, but it can get a little repetitive for me at times
    • Alice has the ability to dodge at any second even mid attack and mid jump allowing for very fast combat that requires precise timing
    • Close combat is handled much like that of God of War, simple button pressing just without ripping people in half with your bare hands.
    • Controls are solid, combat is fun, and the art direction is absolutely phenomenal
    • , Alice's hair looks amazing, solid combat that's easy to pick up on, it's fun collecting teeth and memories, the weapon upgrades are pretty cool, interesting side games help break up the main gameplay
    • 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
    • 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.
