Absolute champion. Playing this 9 year old game on a new PC at 30fps was miserable, you've made it actually enjoyable.

Yeah... this game isn't as good as the first one. The first title was conceptually relevant from one level to the next, had a good source for the levels (the books), and everything from the enemies to the music to the weapons all worked together to fit perfectly into the package that is American McGee's Alice.

The first title was conceptually relevant from one level to the next, had a good source for the levels (the books), and everything from the enemies to the music to the weapons all worked together to fit perfectly into the package that is American McGee's Alice. This game, on the other hand, looks pretty and has some sorely needed quality of life features (locking on, no insta-death falling down an abyss, etc.) but the game has no thematic direction. I'm underwater for one level and in another I'm fighting samurai wasps. It just doesn't have a coherent theme spanning from one level to the next. It isn't as immersive or interesting as the last title. I'm, unfortunately, once again playing a game to beat it since I started it already. The only difference is that I did it for the first game because I hated it, and for this game because it just gets boring.

I can tell already that the level design, story themes, the story itself, and other components of video games are weaker than Alice's. While this game finally gives you checkpoints (at the cost of save states the original has), you can lock on to enemies, block attacks, and you have new abilities. There are even collectibles to get in …
Read moreI can tell already that the level design, story themes, the story itself, and other components of video games are weaker than Alice's. While this game finally gives you checkpoints (at the cost of save states the original has), you can lock on to enemies, block attacks, and you have new abilities. There are even collectibles to get in every level now. But the story isn't as interesting with its locations not being based on anything in the books (as far as I'm aware) and the ending to the first game just doesn't warrant a sequel. It was perfect (as a story) in itself, and this game isn't needed. That said, I'm having much more fun with this game than I ever did with the original, so there's that.

I'm not sure what got into me, but a few days ago I got a sudden urge to finally play this game, so I bought it on Steam. One day after we got the news that American McGee stopped trying to make its sequel a reality.
