"Weird but good"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I always thought of this game as weird. But everybody who played it always recommended it. And now I understand why. Yes, the story is amazingly weird, but the game itself, the gameplay and everything is just great fun. Perfect to play with a friend and laugh about all this weird stuff and still have fun with a good gameplay and graphics etc.

"Epic adventure with a very dark side"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Big and beautiful game with variety in its environments and its combat. Can be a grind on the harder difficulties but interesting characters keep pushing you along

"Madness returns indeed"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Alice, Madness returns is a great game, nice visuals. However it only has one save slot, and for some reason they decided to lock the save file so you can't even copy it off to swap that way.

"Good fun game with a touch of humour. I love it."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

So far it seems a fairly interesting game, but also a bit old fashioned. Enjoyable never the less. The added attraction is that it comes with a bonus game to download Alice McGee. All in all, quite a macabre game.

"Welcome Back To Wonderland!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Alice: Madness Returns absolutely does not fall into the category of bad sequel. Roughly a decade after the original, Alice again mentally revisits the past events of her family’s horrific death in a house fire. Rather than simply being a prettier revision of its predecessor, Madness Returns features an older, much more disturbed young woman with one hell of an imagination—and a more extensive wardrobe! Wonderland is again in peril as Alice is haunted by repressed memories of the fire and begins to question if her family’s death was truly accidental as she previously thought. To discover the truth and retain (or regain-) sanity, Alice must revisit her beloved Wonderland and collect her memories to discover the truth, visit her old “friends”, and destroy wicked enemies with an impressive new collection of weapons and abilities.

"Addictive and unrivalled!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Rented this game from the video store to try before buying and got hooked, its the best PS3 game I have played in a LONG time and I don't think I'll be able to find one to this standard for some time. The game play is excellent, love the weird quirkiness of the storyline – very dark overtones. Each chapter is detailed, complex and much longer than I originally expected. Recommend this game highly, if you like an interesting story which good game play and games within games then this is a great buy.

Purchased on Mighty Ape

this game changes everything that you originally thought about Alice and any version of her wonderland. it somehow makes more sense and the insanity gruesome theme just adds to the excitement. a twisted tale for any gamer, even if you don't really like gore
