Old friends, the white rabbit and Cheshire cat, are pleading for her help - can she rescue her familiar yet altered fantasy world from the evil Red Queen’s clutches and perhaps save herself along with it? Intriguing plot, wouldn’t you say? Dreamt up by ex-id Software level designer, American McGee (yes, his real name), he and Rogue Entertainment(creators of several successful Quake/Q2 mission packs) chose the 3rd-person action/adventure format to tell this exciting new chapter based on the Alice in Wonderland story. Clutching at her last shred of sanity, Alice appears to have journeyed back to a very different Wonderland, deformed and macabre.

All is not well as we first meet our heroine in the stylish FMV introduction lying comatose in a mental asylum bed, poor Alice has been traumatized by the death of her family in a house fire, which only she escaped alive and was then forced to stand back helplessly and listen to their final screams. Not living happily ever after Ever wondered what it would be like if Lewis Carroll’s infamous Alice were to revisit Wonderland several years after the original tale ended? Me either, but that’s precisely what has happened in EA’s latest release, American McGee’s Alice.
