American McGee's Alice Critic Reviews

Anyone can make a dark atmosphere and tough characters - but Alice is a wonderful and WITTY adaptation of a familiar story into an intriguing and addictive action/adventure experience.

Without a doubt, the game's single greatest asset is the graphics, with its unprecedented level of painstaking detail, swirling colors, wonderfully distorted images and dynamic lighting effects.

The closest you'll ever need to get to surreal insanity brilliance.

A spectacular game.

I will keep Alice for as long as my feeble mind can handle it.

The graphics, as I think I've repeated about 50 times, are monumental, but let me just add that the character designs shine just as much.

Visually and conceptually, Alice is unparalleled among this year's games, and succeeds in eclipsing its own weaknesses with intoxicating style. A defiantly original example of game-development as a fine art.

It's the best thing since Sliced Bread, other than its sequel, Sliced Bread II: Electric Boogaloo.

The graphics are wonderful, the sounds and voice acting are perfect, and the levels are huge. It's too bad there isn't a multiplayer option, but really, the single player game should keep you going for sometime.

Hey, American McGee: Do more! I'd like to see Snow White done in the same style (with evil dwarves). I see no reason why this couldn't be a series of games, and I think the technology and the audience is ready.

What really impressed me about Alice's visuals is the imaginativeness of the designers, and the highly thematic environments, which completely differ from one level to another and are brought to life with some crisp and detailed textures.

The graphics are in-freakin-credible, the sound is top-notch, the level design is beautiful, and the action is non-stop.

A visual feast that happens to be a fun action/adventure game.

The sound is probably some of the best I've heard in a game. The music, for starters, is almost perfect.

It combines several of my interests: kooky Victoriana, bloody fairytales, lush writing, bratty girls with knives, and talking cats.

A lovely piece of storytelling with top-notch visuals and sounds, Alice enthrals aesthetically but doesn't quite satisfy gameplay-wise.

An excellent game with plenty of character and story development, engaging plot and rich graphics. This game will undoubtedly appeal to the gamer of a more disturbed taste. I liked it.

Alice as a whole isn't a perfect game, but many individual elements of the title are quite simply amazing, especially the level design.

A visual masterpiece with enough good gameplay to make it a classic.

Whatever American McGee is smoking, he shouldn't lay off it.
