Dec. 2024

A gem in the hands of the devil (EA) I will start off by saying that I LOVE this game! Now onward to talk about EA and some of their laziness, after EA came back running to steam and brought back this game they half-assed it and forgot to include "American McGee's Alice" game that is included as a bonus which you will need to follow a guide in the community hub to be able to play, there are also guides for getting 60fps since its capped at 30fps and other settings as well as getting access to extra outfits that needed to be included but EA forgot. Another thing is that the Xbox version has achievements but were never added to the PC version for some reason, although its nothing crazy that stops the game from being played it would be nice to have them on here. Besides EA being EA, the game is amazing and whether you buy it during the sale for $1 or at full price for $10. I'm surprised I didn't play this game earlier, I would look at it and have this small itch for it, but years later finally decided to give it a go and enjoyed it from start to finish, so if you feel like playing it even a bit then give it a go. The game does a good job to get the player sucked into the wonderland, with some dark but beautiful atmosphere, bundled with a great soundtrack which really adds on while your killing your way through wonderland. One big tip for American Mcgee's Alice is to make sure you save often as dying will take you back to the start of the level you are in and the auto save wasn't working for me, but you shouldn't have this issue with Alice: Madness Returns. It's really sad that EA owns the Alice game rights as they cancelled the 3rd game in the Alice series (Alice Asylum) and not selling it and just plan on sitting on it and told american mcgee that he will never be able to touch the alice games in his life as "they have no desire to see the Alice franchise continued by american mcgee or anyone else" and after he quit game development. He even tried getting the Alice TV show going but ended up getting cancelled as well. Such as sad story, the more you hear about the EA the more you hate them. Now it's time for some tea..

Oct. 2024

Amazing game. Great music Great gameplay Great platforming Amazing visuals too Had to fix framerate limit which probably made the game more prone to crashing and breaking. Crashed a few times. Froze sometimes between level transitions. Forgiving checkpoints. Curse EA for not letting American McGee finish the Alice trilogy with Alice: Asylum.

Sept. 2024

If you unlock the locked content of this game using the guide below you get access to the full original american McGee's Alice(2000) through this game so you are basically getting 2 games in 1. Despite its age, the original is a very good game with a great atmosphere and soundtrack. Its worth buying Madness Returns just to get access to the original game imo. Have not played Madnesss Returns yet but it is probably also good Guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3014521889

100% would recommend this one. The story + art direction is phenomenal. Many people have technical issues with the game. I played it at 1920x1080 with settings at max EXCEPT physx set to low (which stopped crashing the game), modded for 144 fps, & swapped the files for up-scaled cut scenes. Windows + PS5 controller. Excellent time.

Feb. 2024

go to the game folder->go to AliceGame-> go to config folder -> open Defaultengine.ini as a text-> change the MaxSmoothedFrameRate=31 to 60 Now you have Alice on 60FPS, enjoy. Probably the first ever game that I ever finished, and holds a special place in my heart. Likely won't get a sequel like the creator American Mcgee have stated in interview because EA sucks. Shame.
