New Alice: Madness Returns Screens

TheMailMan78 · Jul 21, 2010

You may laugh at me but Alice's adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll was my favorite story as a child. The Cheshire Cat was a personal favorite. Anyway when the first game came out I was excited. Though the game fell short I always felt it caught the feeling of Lewis Carroll even though it was warped by American McGee :laugh:

Anyway we have a new Alice coming our way and I am VERY excited! Here are the screens and the trailer.

During the EA Studio Showcase, famed-developer American McGee took the stage to officially reveal the previously announced sequel to the cult-hit American McGee's Alice.

Now branded Alice: Madness Returns, the twisted sequel is currently in development by American McGee's start-up studio (and developer of the episodic Grimm series) Spicy Horse Games and will be published as part of the EA Partners program for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2011.

Alice: Madness Returns takes place ten years after the events of the original title as the lead character struggles "to recover from the emotional trauma of losing her entire family in a fatal fire."

After a stint in an insane asylum, Alice is released and "embarks on a mission to root out the true cause of her family's mysterious death, jumping from a gloomy and stark London to a rich and provocative Wonderland."

Sound mysterious and moody, as an Alice game should. Sadly, the trip down the rabbit hole -- which does not include American McGee's name in the title -- is still far from our grasp.

The original Alice was pretty good. I don't understand why American McGee is "famed". Because his name is a bit different? Plus, Bad Day L.A. should pretty much defame anyone, that game was horrible. So, two games that I know of from him, one was good the other was very bad. There are much better devs than American McGee. This game does look beautiful though. I like the shadows/contrasts.
