Alice: Madness Returns – The Verdict
A month ago, I went at American McGee’s Alice with a rather snicker-snack attitude, penning a retrospective though I’d neither played the game before, nor particularly enjoyed it as I played it. Whilst ageing mechanics had a lot to do with it, I was perhaps most put out by the decade or so I’d spent assuming it was a great game wrapped around a fantastic concept. So with Alice: Madness Returns, I’ve decided to take the same prejudicial route, noting the lacking hype and lukewarm scores. And yes, I’ve disappointed myself again. Because it’s not quite as mediocre as some are saying it is.
