[ALL] Alice: Madness Returns

[Twigg4075]

This game looked really interesting but after watching the latest episode of Qore on PSN this looks like a must buy. I won't be getting it right away but will at some point. The look and art style is amazing.

It's been getting really good reviews as well.

Plus I love the idea that you get the original game for free with a new purchase.

Said it before, its a great game. Gets pretty repetitive though.

i never played the original. looked weird to me at the time. who knows maybe sometime down the road i may play the original then this one.

The art Style looks amazing....but check out the quick look video over at giantbomb it will give you a great idea about the game. I say total rental. No replay value and $60 is a bit much

If you buy it new you get the original Alice game for free when its comes to the download stores. Based on critics the game is mediocre to average, according to the players, the game is a blast.

Isn't something that is mediocre also average?

I'll play this, but I'll likely wait until it's cheaper. Between this and Duke Nukem, it'll be like the late 90's all over again!

no. no it's not.

Sounds like the reviews for Army of Two when it first came out. I expect this game to get a hardcore following, but it won't catch on with mainstream gamers. Its not my type of storyline to be interested in though.

no. no it's not.

Yes. Yes it is.

The average game isn't mediocre. How can they mean the same thing?

The last I checked average and mediocre were in fact synonyms.

The last I checked average and mediocre were in fact synonyms.

the definition is avg or below avg...people seem to focus on below avg.

I've heard it's an interesting game but overall I wouldn't spend 60 on it...seems like a game that will drop fast or at least a sale is coming in the near future.

Yeah, I'm definitely not spending 60 bones on it but I do want it.

I think I might buy it for my buddy who's birthday is tomorrow. He's a big fan of the book, world and the Mad Hatter in particular. His fucking old Xbox gamertag was MadHatter4550 or something. And then I can borrow it when he's done.

The original was one of my all time favorite games. Just the art direction and style was so sweet and still holds up a little today.

I was really surprised what American McGee looked and sounded like. I expected something completely different. He seems like a cool dude.

If you wait until the 26th, Kmart is offering a deal on Alice. I am assuming its going to be $30 to $40. With my coupon that sets it at about my price range ($20).

Edit: Check that, I am seeing on CAG that its a $15 gaming coupon but it seems strange that he'd have to wait to do a coupon instead of doing it on launch day.

I have $20 in coupons now but if it's only a $15 coupon then I'll hold off. It is weird that he couldn't offer that deal at launch.

But it looks like I'll just be buying this game for my buddy anyway and I'm sure he'll let me borrow it. I might buy it for myself when it gets cheap. The more videos I watch of it the more I want it though.
