Alice: Madness Returns jumps between an eerie London and the ruined depths of Wonderland, with a story full of interesting riddles and surprising reveals. But her madness hasn't been cured, and she sets out to discover exactly who, or what, started the fire that killed her entire family, and triggered her insanity. Set after the events of American McGee's Alice, Madness Returns finds Alice outside the insane asylum. Alice: Madness Returns takes bits and pieces from Lewis Carroll's original vision and filters them through a gritty, new light to great effect. Navigating Wonderland via jumps (and double-jumps and triple-jumps), floating, and shrinking makes things more interesting, and viewing secret messages using Shrink Sense to find hidden paths and items adds to Alice: Madness Returns' exploratory experience. Alice's acrobatics are also a lot of fun to apply. Knocking over an armored enemy with the Hobby Horse, slashing it open with the Vorpal Blade, and then finishing them with the Pepper Grinder is a seamless barrage. The variety of weapons encourages an organic construction of combos, based on each item's strengths. Dodging is fast, adding to the feel of Alice as a lethal character. Combat is fluid – it animates smoothly, it's responsive, and Alice flows from one move to the next without stutter or stop.
At its heart, Alice: Madness Returns combines the weapon-based fighting of third-person action games with more conventional platforming.
