There seems to be a sequel to American McGee's Alice game, called Alice: Madness Returns. It's coming out June 14 in the US. If you get the X360 or PS3 versions of the new game, you can get a code to download the original Alice game ported to your console. You can also buy the original game for your console for $10.

Anyone remember the original game? Anyone heard of the new game and possibly looking forward to it?

Yes. No/maybe. First I've heard of it. The original was artisticly quite good. The game itself, rather bland.

I liked the concept of the original...but actually playing the game was pretty bad. I don't like platformers and 3-D platformers are even worse.

Pretty much.

I like seeing Through the Looking Glass and Alice in Wonderland interpreted in a dark fashion, but the game just didn't deliver as a game. If seeing dark Alice reimaginings is your thing, just go check out "Return to Wonderland," the comic miniseries (and there are two sequel minis, Beyond Wonderland and Escape from Wonderland) from Zenescape Productions.

Already preordered. I <3 American McGee's Alice. I'd love an HD remake.

Cool, I'll get this. I like games where you can play female characters because they're better to look at.

I was always interested in the original Alice. Never picked it up when it was out in stores. Can't remember why. I think my graphics card wasn't good enough for the Quake 3 engine at the time. But I liked the concept.

I am still interested in this new game as well. I always enjoyed American McGee's level designs. His were generally my favorite to play Quake multiplayer/CTF in, back in the day.

I got to the last Jabberwocky fight in the first one, tried 20 times to beat it, and gave up. It was pretty good otherwise. A sequel is pretty unimaginative. Remake something else in a re-imagined horror-scape. Like... "Don Quixote" or "Little Women."

How many times is Alice going to end up in a mental institution?

How many times will a mentally unstable girl scarred by the fiery death of her parents go back to the mental hospital? I'd guess no more than 10. :D

Okay, I want to play horror insanity Don Quixote, now.

Ditto. I'm betting those windmills would be F&CK*NG TERRIFYING!
