Alice: Madness Returns

Postby Bob on Tue Jun 14, 2011 8:56 am

Out this week. Of course Mr Howdle has been dropping the odd subtle "don't waste your cash" hints.

Eurogamer review.

Still, Better than the Duke.

IGN review.

Maybe one to get when it's cheap (unlike Duke; don't get that at all).

Funnily enough your review was the final nail in that games coffin.

Probably the most painful thing I've ever had to do, writing that.

:cry:

But... yeah... Alice. Looks ok and that. Gamespot review

Well the reviews I’ve read say it’s an absolutely awful game, committing a huge list of gaming crimes like, poor aiming & combat, terrible platforming levels & bad level design...
So!, don’t worry VA, you're not the only one on this site who's prepared to let nostalgia get in the way of hard cash & sense!.


:wink:

It looks beautiful, from the reviews i've seen it seems to be doing badly in professional reviews but the gaming masses are going for it. I'm gonna see if I can get it today if it's come in early, and by golly if a premium theme or gamerpics come out i'll be snaffling those up to!

Loving it, some awkward jumps but balanced out with the beautiful graphics, amazing music and gameplay. I wish I could hate it like VA and duke but it's amazing.
