(More customer reviews)First off, for this price I would definately recommend buying the item.But for all of you who might need a little more than a vague statement, here's the deal."American McGee's Alice" is a beautiful and addicting game; the art and visuals are breath taking and you just might spend most of your time staring at your screen in delight.The designers went well out of there way creating an atmosphere that makes "Alice" unlike any game that I have seen.Twisted and bizarre, the locales are also witty and enchanting.Alice herself, is a well voiced and fun character, with a new found penchant for violence and brutality.Anyone who has read the original Wonderland/Looking Glass stories will not doubt find this version of Alice much more akin than that of certain other sources, and American McGee shines in their complete understanding of the source.What the game does suffer from is some erratic controls and (in certain places) a rushed feel.In general, Alice control fairly nicely, and most certainly in the beginning most players shouldn't be too paralyzed by her movements.However, there are some areas of the game that require controlled movement that Alice isn't capable off.The designers did include a handy "foot" marker that can help Alice pinpoint (to a degree) where she will jump.But on moving objects it is usless.Ms Alice also seems to suffer from some sort of foot malady, as she has the tendency to continue to move after she lands, thus leaving you tumbling into lava, water, or nothing at all.This can be frusting and lead some players to the same level of insanity that Alicer herself is facing.As for being rushed, the ending was a bit short sided, and some of the sequences didn't make much sense and felt a bit choppy, for instance the sequence from the Red Realm into Mirror Image has still left me totally in the dark.But those can be overlooked in favor of the outstanding satisfaction that the game provided.Each level is something to be seen, and I have found myself replaying areas just to revisit a particularly fun area.Again, at this price "you'd be crazy" not to try it out...ha ha...sorry darlings; bad joke, I know.
