He got a bit CGI/animation/motion capture fanatical, and the film just didn't really have any substance or heart to it. I just wanted a typical Tim Burton-esque dark film, really....not what the end result came to be.

It should be worth noting that things such as the button-match music, sliding puzzles and chess puzzles CAN be skipped and Alice's jump'n'hover can only be used 3 times before touching the ground.
In a world full of FPS and rhythm games, a platformer is a wonderful change of pace (I recently grabbed Beyond good and Evil HD as well). But yeah, the art direction is definitely the main draw to this game. I also agree - the first Alice has not aged well.

Now Catherine is the next game I saw to see it that it is worth it.

Nice to see someone else interested in it
. It looks truly unique...it's not coming out here in Europe so I have to import it from the US. Can't wait! |

Thanks Ben. I really wanted a good opinion about this since other reviews bashed this. It's a unique interpretation of Alice and was hoping it was worth a play.
Now Catherine is the next game I saw to see it that it is worth it.
Been could you be the person to review Catherine and Shadow of the damned

I must have been still tired now that I read what I originally put.

Also, regarding the game you can kinda chain combos, you can alternate between vorpal blade and hobby horse. I agree though, nice but somewhat repetitive. Still the atmosphere is interesting.

Yeah, that's pretty common knowledge, which is why I specifically referred to "Disney's" version. The idea of the game is how Alice goes crazy, so it was used to show the contrast/explanation.

Definitely have to look it up now...(not that disturbing/torturous reads are usually my kind of thing, it's just I didn't have any clue apart from Disney's film, and I thought that was the source material completely...how wrong I was!!).

I've always enjoyed Alice in Wonderland, though as I've grown the meanings changed, and maybe it's a little extra nostalgia since I had been in an Alice play back in elementary school (as the Cheshire cat).
