NowGamer previews Alice: Madness Returns on PS3 - "American McGee has a lot of guts digging up a ten year old PC series that saw only one game and making a sequel for the modern market. Perhaps the odd combination of platforming and combat that made Alice such a cult favourite ten years ago will make Alice: Madness Returns for the PS3 a hit in this mash-up age of genre remixing."
Reviewing Alice: Madness Returns almost feels like a rite of passage for me. You see, I'm from the same town as the childhood home of Charles Dodgson, better known to you and I by his pen-name, Lewis Carroll. As such, he's a bit of a local culture icon.
I played Alice: Madness Returns for the first time last year. What an amazing game and adventure. It's a huge shame we aren't getting a sequel to it. It absolutely deserves another game.
oh yeah, I remember this game! I remember liking it, but found the platforming to be utterly obnoxious. Loved the world design.
Good review!
Of course Sunset Overdrive gets a nod. It's Insomniac!
I personally think there's better on gamepass then what was listed. State of decay imo is better then anything listed. Recore seemed alright for what I played on there also.
Odd that he specified 'Game Pass Ultimate' instead of just 'Game Pass' just so he could include a relatively weak choice comparably in 'Alice: Madness Returns' which is available with EA Play. SoD was a far better overlooked game to have listed.
From Games Radar: "Alice: Madness Returns has been removed from Steam just months after fans fought to get the creepy horror back onto Valve's PC platform.
The sequel was removed from sale back in 2016 following a DRM problem, an issue that kept the game off Steam for a full five years. It was finally reinstated in February 2022, only for fans to notice that, once again, it had been mysteriously pulled again earlier this month.
The game's Steam page says "at the request of the publisher, Alice: Madness Returns is no longer available for sale on Steam", but that's a standard disclaimer that doesn't really tell us very much. "
I loved the first one and can't wait to play this game!!
You dont know how hyped i am for this !!!
I never got to play the first game i might torrent the first one just to see how it is. Can anyone tell me how it is?
one of my favorite PC games of all time, was the first. Great visuals, character development, soundtrack by NiN drummer Chris Vrenna was awesome, and just plain fun. I still have it loaded on my PC. Cant wait.
But I'd definitely hire his non-Union Mexican counterpart, Mexican McGee.
