I could have sworn we already had a topic for this.  Thanks for catching it, Zero.  I'm looking forward to this game.   :)

My dislike for American McGee is going to keep me from playing this one.

I will have vengeance for Bad Day LA.

It's different than what's currently selling.  That alone is worth my money.   8)

NP / I did a search for it and didn't find it. If an older topic creeps up, I suppose a merge would be in order.

Looking forward to this too, didn't get to try the first one since I believe it only ran on PC. It's got enough of that visual style to keep me interested and the world is full of possibilities.

In speaking to [CVG (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/298527/news/alice-madness-returns-to-include-original-alice/)], resident Mad Hatter, American McGee reveals the following:

QuoteThere will be DLC in the form of dresses that the player can download and Alice can wear.... Those dresses come with special abilities and enhance how you play through the game.

There's also going to be pretty significant release which is the original Alice brought over to the consoles so that a person who's purchased Madness Returns gets a download code and is able to bring Alice 1 onto their console and play through the entire original game alongside playing Madness Returns.


Also revealed in the brief announcement was the fact that the game will not contain a multiplayer mode, the free DLC more than makes up for it though.

It would be cheaper to just buy it from Toys R Us (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11465312) ($44.99), and probably Amazon once they learn about the competition.

For those of us without an iDevice (like me), here's the Alice Storybook.  Enjoy.   :)

This is What Alice Looks Like Before She Tears You a New Asshole

(http://fastcache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/9/2011/05/xlarge_hysteria.jpg)

If you happen to wander across sweet Alice during her travels in Wonderland and she should happen to flash red, white, and red all over, you're probably going to die. This is Hysteria.

Similar to the powerful effects of the Rage Box from American McGee's Alice, the Hysteria power in Alice: Madness Returns infuses our hopeless heroine the power to destroy her psychological demons when all hope seems lost. It's a way to pull her back from the brink of death, while pushing her enemies over it in spectacular fashion.

Save your hysterics for when Alice: Madness Returns comes calling on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on June 14. You'll need them.

Rented this last night, about 3/4 through Chapter one. Pretty awesome game overall. The story is pretty sweet and the enemies require different tatics, depending who you come across. Might download the original game for 800 points before I head any further into the 2nd.
