Alice: Madness Returns
Description (IGDB)
Return to Wonderland and experience an all new nightmare as Alice fights to regain her sanity as she fights for the truth behind her past. Can Alice save Wonderland - and herself - from the madness that consumes them both?
Histoire (IGDB)
Within events of the first game, Alice Liddell, believing herself responsible for a fire that consumed her home and her family, escapes into a twisted version of Wonderland. While held at Rutledge Asylum for treatment, Alice was able to conquer her doubts, and eventually was released from the ward. Madness Returns takes place in 1875, a year after Alice's release. Alice, now 19 years old,[6] resides at an orphanage in Victorian London, under the care of Dr. Angus Bumby, a psychiatrist who uses hypnosis to help his child patients forget their memories. Though she believes that she is fine, Alice still suffers from hallucinations of Wonderland. During an errand, Alice is struck by a hallucination and believes herself to be in Wonderland again. Though initially idyllic, the peaceful land quickly becomes corrupted by the Infernal Train that rampages through it, leaving behind the Ruin, a force that attempts to stop Alice. Alice meets with the Cheshire Cat who affirms that it is some outside force, not Alice, that has caused this corruption, and urges her to seek out former friends and foes to discover the source of the Train. Throughout the rest of the game, Alice briefly returns to reality between episodes occurring within Wonderland. In the real world, Alice learns from the family lawyer that her sister, Elizabeth (nicknamed "Lizzie"), was first to die in the fire, despite being the farthest from its source, and had been locked in her room. Within the corrupted Wonderland, Alice attempts to learn more from Wonderland's various citizens, including the Duchess, the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle, the Walrus and the Carpenter, and the Caterpillar. She is ultimately told that the Queen of Hearts still lives despite her defeat at Alice's hands before, though in a diminished capacity. At the Queen's castle, Alice discovers the Queen's true form, which resembles her younger self. The Queen reveals that an entity called the Dollmaker has taken over the Infernal Train and is corrupting Wonderland. Returning to London, Alice starts to recall her memories of the night of the fire and realizes that Dr. Bumby was there. He is responsible for the death of her sister and her whole family. She comes to the conclusion that Dr. Bumby is attempting to erase the memories of the fire from her mind and, as he has done with other children, trying to leave her as a "blank toy" to be taken by abusive masters and child molesters for a price. Furious, Alice confronts both Dr. Bumby in the real world at the Moorgate station and Dr. Bumby's Wonderland counterpart, the Dollmaker, in her fantasy on the Infernal Train. Dr. Bumby admits to his crimes, and even attests to setting Alice's home on fire after Lizzie refused his advances, removing any witnesses to his having raped her that night. He points out that by wiping out her Wonderland, he will make her forget the events of that night, while he will continue as a member of high society. Alice defeats the Dollmaker in Wonderland, giving her the strength in the real world and in her mind to push Dr. Bumby into the path of an oncoming train, killing him. As Alice leaves the station, she finds herself in a hybrid vision of London mixed with Wonderland, Londerland. Alice wanders into the unknown terrain as the Cheshire Cat monologues that Alice has found the truth that was "worth the pain fighting for", and Wonderland, though damaged, is safe for the time being.

Très très bonne surprise ! Même après toutes ces années, le jeu est encore très bien ! L’ambiance est juste folle ! Le gameplay, bien que "basique" est agréable manette en main, l’histoire se laisse suivre et est très mature (un peu glauque à momen...
Avoir transposé l'univers d'Alice au pays des merveilles dans un univers bien plus sombre (avant Tim Burton) est un coup de génie et la DA est absolument magnifique et donne envie d'aller au bout de l'aventure. Ici, ce n'est absolument pas pour les...
Non, juste non. Déjà, quand le jeu se bloque à 31 FPS et que le seul moyen d'augmenter le nombre de FPS c'est d'aller modifier des valeurs dans les fichiers du jeu, ça commence mal. Mais en plus, si on ajoute à ça une caméra vraisemblablement héroïn...
Incredible game, truly a masterpiece of its own and EA should be ashamed to what they did to his author. HOWEVER. I thought I would buy this game for once (it is so badly distributed that I could only play it with cracked versions), and this version...

The Alice: Madness Returns dev team 'made history,' American McGee says: It was 'the first team ever to tell EA *** and (kinda) get away with it'
lice creator American McGee has been in something of a chatty mood lately. Just a couple days after relating a tale about how he drew inspiration from a Valve demo he saw while working on Quake 2 at id, he shared another story about Alice: Madness Returns, offering a fun glimpse into game dev financing, dildo snails, and maybe why EA may have decided not to move ahead with a third game in the series...

Alice creator American McGee says he was inspired by a Valve demo he saw while working on Quake 2
merican McGee's Alice wasn't a big hit, but it has proven to be one of those enduring cult classics: 26 years after its release, there's still demand for a new one. In a recent post on X, McGee shared some insights into one of the inspirations for that game—which was also his first real signal that his days at id Software were numbered... Read more.
The sequel to one of my favorite 3D platformers always had a janky PC port, but a huge fanmade patch just dropped in hopes to fix it
merican McGee's Alice is simply sensational, what with its weird, janky hybrid of shooter-inspired action and surreal 3D platforming, and though the sequel Madness Returns didn't hit me quite as hard, it's still well worth your time. The problem, for PC gamers at least, is that Madness Returns has a pretty rough port that's only gotten harder to work with since its release in 2011; until now, anyway... Read more.
Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Alice: Madness Returns reminds me a lot of classic N64 platformers like Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie in the best of ways. By mixing a dark reimagining of a literary classic with stylish combat and rock-solid platforming, EA and Spicy Horse have created a gaming experience quite unlike any other. At any rate, its miles better than the lacklustre Tim Burton movie released last year. This is one rabbit hole worth tumbling down. »
« The overall quality of Alice: Madness Returns is high, despite it feeling rushed. The qualities that made American McGee's Alice so enjoyable-the gory hack-'n'-slash combat, the gorgeous design, the rich dialogue, the menacing mood-are present and abundant. »
« Alice: Madness Returns certainly has its flaws - the least of which is pacing - but the experience of exploring the slowly-deteriorating mind of Alice Liddell in the imaginative and dark world of Wonderland is worth putting up with them for. »
« Alice: Madness Returns may not win awards for genre innovation, but it's the most darkly fun and gloriously batty game I've played since Psychonauts. I can't think of any higher praise. »
« As it turns out, following the rabbit down the rabbit hole is a whole lot of fun. »
« The original is a more inspired game, but kudos to Spicy Horse for making this second foray through the looking glass more than tolerable. »
« It's far from perfect, but even further from broken. Alice looks good, plays good, and has a very decent length that should appease any diehard fan. »
« Once you get sucked into the beautiful world of Wonderland you'll be drawn in and amazed with how unique McGee's imagination is about a story we all knew growing up. This is not your friendly Disney version of Alice in Wonderland or anything even close. This is Amercian McGee's twisted and amazingly complex Alice that tells a tale of a girl who's on the brink of losing her mind and what she must to do save it and Wonderland. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« This game is a great game. The story. The creativity and the artistic direction. However, I can't even finish chapter1 because of the stupid umbrella control. I press so many time lt+a but it just didn't appear sometimes. I don't know is it only problem on xbox series or is it just my problem. This made me so frustrated. »
« Personalmente este juego es especial para mi por la historia y la trama, así como el arte, por dicho motivo como me tocó en fibras sensibles le doy un 10, pero siendo completamente neutral y fría, le daría entre 7.7 y 8.3, el motivo es que el gameplay y las interacciones son un poco límitadas, y al menos en PC hay algunos bugs para acceder a ciertas zonas, tambien siento que es muy lineal y no deja explorar el resto de zonas, entiendo que el presupuesto fuese relativamente limitado así como hay que tomar en cuenta el tiempo en que fue elaborado, pero creo que es muy líneal, y entiendo que justamente es para concentrar al jugador en el fuerte del juego, que en este caso viene siendo la historia y la trama (la cual repito, al menos a mi parecer, aunque se pudo abordar mejor, es buena) pero tambien tiene otro fuerte que pudieron explotar mejor, que es al arte, los diseños de escenarios, personajes, etc... y hubiera sido maravilloso al menos en lo personal que pudiese interactuar más con otros personajes y con los escenarios y sus elementos, anyway... »
« Alice: Madness Returns é o meu jogo favorito da era Xbox 360. Artisticamente perfeito e, estranhamente, relaxante e atraente com cenários criados da mente violenta e distorcida da amável Alice Liddell. Um prato cheio pra quem ama a estética 'Dark Fantasy'. »
« One of my favorite games by Electronic Arts and Spicy Horse.This game is pure gold. I wanted to get that game on disc someday. This game is pure masterpeice »
« increíble juego no jugue el primero pero igual pude entender la historia de alicejuego muy solido con muy buenos personajes »
« I finished Alice: Madness Returns as one of the picks in the Game Pass Game Club as a Spooktober themed pick. It definitely had a dark tone to fit that theme, with a story based around abusive mistreatment from Alice’s physiologist as she goes back and forth from Wonderland to dealing with the death of her family.This is a Xbox 360 era game so it shows its age now, with the platforming being finicky with easy to miss jumps and annoying invisible platforms. The combat is pretty basic but the camera sometimes fights against you. But the levels have a lot of variety and were interesting with a few jumping over to other side scrolling genres. Overall the story, the Alice in Wonderland characters and levels made up for the flaws enough to keep this one interesting enough to keep going to the end. »
« This game is so beautiful. I can't even understand how this can work on a ps3. Absolutely gorgeous. »
« un jeux incroyable que je conseil à toute personne qui aime les jeux avec de petites énigme et un potentiel de fou!!! si tu n'aime pas c'est juste car tu as l'habitude d'être tenu par la main pour les rpg des combat libre et une histoire de malade avec une vrai ambiance à te faire peur. Dire que le jeux à été fais en 2011 et qu'il mais une péter à tout les nouveau jeux avec des histoires redondantes cela avais fait longtemps que j'avais pas pris autant de plaisir à jouer !!!!! »
