I'm pretty excited. I believe it's safe to say that this game is #1 on my list of games to play this year.

Didn't know about this! I thoroughly enjoyed the first one so i hope this one's good too!

BloodyCheery · March 7, 2011 09:25 AM

It comes out around June. I'm going to annoy the shit outta my boyfriend to buy me a copy as a late birthday gift and then play it for a straight week, telling my co-workers to "fuck off."

does it come with free mascara and a magnetic nose piercing?

Sinitron · March 7, 2011 03:53 PM

definitely gonna roll with this as long as they don't fuck up something pointless like camera controls

BloodyCheery · March 7, 2011 04:45 PM

Yeah, the camera controls are what I'm worried about.

billy · March 7, 2011 06:10 PM

the first one was good, if they stick to those controls it should be fine.

I heard about this. Loved the first one.

I think you meant Tim Burton's Alice. This is American McGee's Alice.

Flash · March 8, 2011 05:00 AM

oh and the knife yeah it's gotta have the knife for cutting your own wrists

seriously tho these games are even dumber than motherfucking duke nukem. even if they fix the gameplay this time around the story, atmosphere and characters are so braindead that it would hurt me to play the game

Sinitron · March 8, 2011 05:12 AM

you kind of have a point, it's a little 'dumb' in some aspects

the duke games make as much fun of themselves as they make of everything else

this is more based around surreal landscapes and in some ways it's too 'wannabe hardcore'

at the same time though, that won't really stop it from being a nice game if they don't pull dicks

which is why it is a "wonderland"

cant wait for that game

yeah but the puking blood, stabbing, iNzAnE faces and such are too 'cool' and end up as being kind of lame, which i believe is what flash is referring too

i liked the trailers showing gameplay but not the ones with the cinematic stuff because it's a little too extreme, more than in alice 1

I think it's supposed to represent how bad Alice's relapse is due to the stress of moving to a different environment and how her time in an asylum with several therapy sessions over her traumatic past and suicide attempt obviously didn't help her at all. She seems to be a lot more unstable than she was in the first installment. Remember, Wonderland is a place she made in her mind to escape to...everything that she thinks and feels warps her imagination. Remember any moment you've had when you were depressed and the kind of dark images that entered your mind, whether it was conscious or subconscious. All of this creepy shit is what's going on in Alice's head as she falls deeper into the pit of insanity. Keep in mind that each of the characters in Wonderland represent someone she knows in the real world...and also that whatever the player makes Alice do may also control what she does in her real time (there seems to be hints of it scattered in the latest trailer). I'll admit though...it goes over the top too quickly...much more than we can handle...but I'm still very excited for this game.

Also I guess it's supposed to be more psychological/gore horror but it gets a little bit silly.

billy · March 8, 2011 09:30 AM

i dunno man when i played alice about a year ago it wasn't as HARDKORE as i thought it would be. it was kind of restrained to be honest. i was pretty impressed.

BloodyCheery · March 8, 2011 10:05 AM

It seems like it's going to be more intense and psychological in the sequel.

Sinitron · March 8, 2011 10:24 AM

which may be a bad thing

the actual wonderland settings look great though

Flash · March 8, 2011 02:43 PM

well yeah to be fair those gameplay videos do look pretty cool

BloodyCheery · March 15, 2011 03:23 AM

There's a rumor that the first Alice will be packaged with the sequel. Haven't heard any more about it, but if it's true, it will most likely be in a limited edition release.

I wouldn't be surprised if they do some form of bundle either way. If they do I may finally decide to check this series out though..
