That was graphic and heart pounding. Alice in Madness Returns came out in 2011 and is the sequel to American McGee's Alice that came out in 2000. Both games are third person psychological horror action-adventure games that takes place roughly in London around 1864. It was developed by a Chinese studio, Spicy Horse, and can be played on Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360. It is a very good game and the controls are fairly easy. You can jump, double jump, float, shrink, grow to giant sizes and turn into blue butterflies to escape or crush enemies. There are many weapons that are easy to use and can be combined to create deadly combos. Don’t let that fool you, this game can mess with your head. Just who or what started the fire that kills Alice’s entire family and triggered her insanity? Travel through Wonderland and along the way get some help from your friends, if you can still call them your friends. I enjoyed this game a lot, from all the action to figuring out confusing puzzles and cut scenes at the end of each chapter. It is very easy to play but not easy to beat, it does have challenges. Try walking on air and figuring out what air is hard. All the achievements in the game can be obtained with ease if you enjoy collecting those. I gave Alice in Madness a 5 out of 5 stars because it bridges the gap of a jump-scare horror game to a third person adventure game. It isn’t a first- person shooter even though it has some of the same characteristics and it isn’t quite a horror game where your main goal is to survive. So far best horror adventure game I’ve come across.
