Product ReviewsAlice: Madness Returns (Sony PlayStation 3, 2011)

Beautiful 3D action /adventure platformer

I normally find 3D platforming very frustrating but it works great--for the most part--in Alice: Madness Returns. Love the mixture of hack'n'slash with ranged weaponry, platforming, and puzzle-solving. Great story. FANTASTIC TONE. Beautiful graphics. Stellar level design. Surprised by how much I enjoyed this game. Aside from a few frustrating parts, partially due to bad timing of checkpoints and low health bar before a big battle, I thoroughly enjoyed playing this lovingly-made game.Read full review...

Best PS3 Game EVER!

I've never been an Alice in Wonderland person. As a kid I never like the story.
Alice the Madness Returns isn't you kid alice in wonderland. It is probably in the top 3 best games I've played on PS3. This game has it all- action, fighting, puzzles and games. It make you think and compels you to play. It is dark and twisted, it has a story and it is FUN. I can recommend this game to any adult gamer and they will be satisfied. I was so impressed with this game, I looked up the ratings (something I never do) and was so surprised it was only a 6.5! This is an easy 9.9 in my book and I have purchased all of the games that are posted as a 9.0 and so forth. This is one of my top 3 PS3 games EVER. HIGHLY recommended!Read full review...

Great platforming game with stunning visuals and battle system, awsome

Game was just amazing with both gameplay and graphics along with the infolding of the story. Althou there are a few bugs such as Alice getting stuck in place, example she stops walking and can spin around but wont move unless you jump to shake of the glitch. sometimes the game wont read on the action sequences on button press but there really minor and nothing really that would ruin your experiance. the battle system is just great having several weapons in your arsenal that you can change any tiime into as well as upgrading them and chaging looks on diff domains. the game though is mostly platforming and fighting, such as activated this swicht here to get to here as well as finding hidden items that are fun to find and a challenges to complete. there are a lack of bosses as the only boss would be the final boss although no spoilers of course but thats it about it for that category. whats also great about this game is that it offers the first game "American Mcgee's Alice" as a bonus download for free, which is great for those who missed how the story started since that game was exclusive on the PC. Overall if your a fan of the first game or just love platforming than i recommend this game, it offers great gameplay with stunning visuals and the classic characters with love.Read full review...

This game caught me completely off guard. It is really good!!!

I downloaded the trail version of this came to my PS3 and 2 days before it expired decided to play it (trails are only good for a year after downloading). WOW is all i can say. The is like going threw a stash of dusty old magazinces only to find that one that you decided not to throw away. They really put money and effort into this game. This is one of the best PS3 games in terms of overall value, but i've never seen it advertised or talked about. Serioulsy, it a lot better then most PS4 games.....and im really not kidding when i say this (and no, i am not a Alice in Wonderland Fan). Give me this over Tomb Raider anyday!!!Read full review...

Get this game! Don't let all the bad reviews change your mind!

So many people have found so much fault with this game. I, on the other hand love it! It's fairly easy to control, the graphics are spectacular & the sound is wonderful. Lots of great options & weapons too. You can shrink down to go through small holes, & lets you see invisible platforms. Jumping & moving on them can be treacherous, and seeing your character walk & slide on air is very cool! I really have no complaints!

The game includes a code to get a free copy of the original Alice PC game from the Playstation Network. This game can is SO annoying in parts. Biggest problem - when you push the 'jump' button, it takes the game at least a half-second to respond. Doesn't sound like much, but it's horrid. Obviously, you must see it for what it is - an old PC game from 2000, but you think they could've cleaned it up a bit.Read full review...

A wonderful new step into the tattered world of Wonderland.

I purchased Alice: Madness Returns after being a fan of the original PC American McGee's Alice, and to be honest I haven't been let down in the newest addition to the series.

While Alice: Madness returns doesn't have cutting edge graphics to compete with the other games currently coming out, the visuals are a wonderful step into Wonderland as one would expect. A huge improvement on the original gives much of a fantasy feel, and much of the appeal also comes into the storybook likeness that the cut scenes in the game have, which are very reminecent to the original Alice of Wonderland depictions.

The game play is quite basic, nothing to difficult, even if you're new to video games. And, while the game is more on the mature side of things, it is appropriately rated Mature for blood and gore, sexual themes, language, and violence, but nothing I would consider to be distasteful.

The added plus to the game, is the download code to play the original American McGee's Alice on the PS3. It's a direct port of the original, it seems, and admittidly the controls are more clunky than I imagined compared to the point-and-click feeling of the original on PC, but I'm sure it'll be easily adjusted to once I finally sit down and play back through it on the console version.

Alice: Madness Returns is definetly a fun addition to any Alice fans looking for something to curb their Wonderland appetite, with great visuals and interesting storyline. If you enjoyed the first game, you'll love Alice: Madness Returns.Read full review...

Creepy Fun

It's a very fun, creepy little game. Easy to play yet not get bored of too easily. Quite simple to find yourself lost in and losing track of time as you play! Highly enjoyable!

A dark fantasy adventure with the original included

A great game, and allows you to play the Original Alice game if you download it from the PSN Store. It's free dlc and 100% worth playing
