This game is amazing, the only slight problem i had was when i entered certain areas in shrink mode my controls inverted, then switched back. Frankly i dont give a damn, this game is brilliant beyond reason.
i wonder how many people who disliked the review actually played the game. also the video review doesn't go into as much detail as the written review but most people are too lazy to read
This game was beautiful. Very long, creative, and always changing environments. A very dark story about something I don't want to give away, but it was smooth, challenging but not frustrating. It never took more than 2 tries at the toughest parts. I personally trust anything with an EA logo on it. But that's me. I've been a gamer since 84 and maybe what I enjoy is completely different than others. I do feel the reviews in general didn't give the game the credit it deserves. It kept its pri
The invisible walls are there for a reason, you're not supposed to go that way!!! Also cutting 3.5 points for the invisible walls and some graphic issues is ridiculous. In my opinion this game deserves at least an 8.
@MrMixer108 Indeed, he says "invisible walls that block your progress". How can this be? Invisible walls are there to keep you from going where you're not supposed to. They're there to prevent glitches and to keep you on the right path to where you are supposed to go and continue making progress.
WOW, you're SO right, IGN! I mean, almost EVERYBODY wants to walk through and OBVIOUS opening which is OBVIOUSLY just a dead end or a place with no significance! That's what sure makes the game fun! Amirite, people?!
Um it's bad because you can't go through the trees? IGN is pretty stupid I would say. Many, many games will prevent the player from going where they're not supposed to. Instead of trying to go through a tree for 10 hours like what IGN did, maybe try and find another path? Terrible review.
ummm ok this is weird xD .. i gave the game 9/10 when i did play it from start to finish .. it was fun .. and those invisible wall he talked about .. in fact areas u not suppose to go to in first place .. and yeah shrink is only for key holes and finding hiding notes >.> not go under trees

I love this game! No matter what, sure it has its flaws but it is just amazing! having finished the first game, made me come back (the reason I bought) and I loved seeing all the characters return as they where in the first game. My biggest complain, no boss fights. I would have shitted my pants if I had to fight the Jabbawock (or something like that) again. Or the Hatter, after you rebuild him. Hell even the robo mouse and rabbit would have been nice bosses! Only in the end there is one........
The imaginative setting and characters are the only good things about the game. The biggest problem is the repetitive and padded gameplay, especially toward the end. You will do the same platforming puzzles, the same slide segment, the same enemy arenas, etc. for what feels like an eternity with no real sense of accomplishment or reward. If a player is begging for the game to just end then you've failed at game design. I feel a 6.5 is being very generous for a dull platformer.
@capthavic I agree, gameplay becomes repetitive, but the reviewer didnt point this problem out, whitch is why I disliked this review. The repetivnes is mainly due to the lenght of the game. The developers put a lot of effort to make the game variable (different enemies, different mini-games, different locations, etc.), so event if it is repetitive, it still deserves more than 6.5 (I would give it 7.5) BTW I can also hate Unreal for being a dull shooter, but I dont, because it is fun.
@OmbudsmanS1 I can respect that they did try to change things up with mini games but I found none of them challenging or fun, skipping them whenever possible. As for the combat you'll be facing the same 3-4 enemies regardless of chapter and most of them take far too much time/effort to kill, only slowing the game down and being a nuisance rather than a challenge. This game just seems to me like they had half a game of content and padded it out to fill time.
@capthavic Now that I think of it, I am playing it second time and some of the puzzles are irritating. I fear that if there will be a third Alice game, it will end up like Duke Nukem Forever or C&C 4. Compared to the first Alice game (finished it 8 times, now playing it again), it maybe deserves 6.5. They should have put more effort into complexity of puzzles and combat, I also liked the enviroments in the first Alice more than in this Alice. They were dark, but also imaginative.
@OmbudsmanS1 Oh I'm not arguing that the world and characters look great. It's just I was so bored and frustrated by the final chapter that I couldn't enjoy the creepiness. Maybe its because I never played the first and not a huge fan that I couldn't overlook the problems. But as someone who came into it with a fresh look (even looking forward to it a lil because of the hype) it just felt like a chore as the game wore on.
@capthavic Okay, maybe I overlooked some problems, because I really like the first game. I highly recomend you to try it, the graphic are of course dated, but environments are more variable, crushing enemies is more enjoyable (it plays like a 3rd person shooter), puzzles are more variable and it has better atmosphere (especially when you set low brightness). And even if I overlooked something, it was surely more objective, than pointing out invisible walls and slowly loading textures.
Reviews arent about opinions, they are about objectivity. The reviewer pointed out unnecessary problems (who the hell cares about invisible walls and slowly loading textures, when the game has such a beautiful art style) and he didnt point out important problems, like linearity (caused by the long playing time) or the lack of bosses (the biggest problem I had with the game). The game isnt any masterpiece but 6.5 for such lame reasons is really underrated. (sorry for bad english)
@OmbudsmanS1 The game is presented beautifully and you're right about such a low score for such petty reasons. The only real problem I had with the game was it's repetitiveness. Too much of the same hack and slash, the puzzles require no thought and combat gets old quick.
@Rockadaclocka Yeah, when I played it second time i just skipped most of the puzzles. It also really angered me, when I found out that they have cut off a lot of game content, only to release the game in time. Just search for Alice Madness Returns remved content and you will see what I mean. It is a good game, but it could have been much better.
WOAH WOAH WOAH. reviews are ALL about opinions. reviews are the OPINIONS of the game as given by professional game critics. linearity is an OPINION about how linear someone THINKS the story is. the lack of bosses is whether someone THINKS there are lots of bosses or not. whether the art and style is beautiful or not is an OPINION.
Really? I thought that review should describe the game and rate the game (graphic, gameplay, sound, etc.) objectively, so the gamers will know what to expect from the game. If their are about opinions, then a critic can say: The graphic are bad, cause I dont like it, the gameplay is bad cause I dont like it. I hate BF 3 series but if I have to rate I also point out the good features (epic battle atmosphere, great sounds, incredible graphic, etc.)
OK You have won. My english is not that good and I am obviously not that inteligent to figure what is objective and subjective. Now I know that every review is subjective, but it just doesnt seem right that the game critics think that invisible walls and graphical issues make the game bad. I mean there are some features, witch makes the game good or bad and witch really infuece the gameplay and are more important then some minor problems.
@OmbudsmanS1 sorry for insulting you. you really shouldn't let these reviews get to you. you clearly already own the game and like it, so why argue with the opinion of somebody else? instead you should join up with people who like it as well as you.
Yes, now then I think of it, it is pretty good system of rating games. Game fans, like me, point out the good features, while the reviewer points ou the bad features. Viewer will mix these opinions and picture the game correctly. Never thought of it this way.
@greshxxxx Yes, because reviews should be objective and not about reviewers opinions, whitch make the game underrated or overrated. I dont hate the reviewer, because he gives the game a low score, but because of unimportant facts he pointed out. Every game has invisible walls, god of war 3 got about 9 points and there are invisible walls everywhere, graphical issues? What? The games graphic is magnificent, even if it is outdated, COD MW3 got 9 points and it also has outdated graphic.
6.5 because of invisible walls & graphic issues? There's games that have far more problems than that yet still get ridiculously high ratings - seriously, wtf!
6.5? I think the game deserves a higher rating than that. What I want to know is what console version was he reviewing. (Probably the PC one.) I own the Xbox 360 version and the only problems I had with the gameplay were Alice getting stuck sometimes and unresponsive/sticky controls. True, the jumping puzzles later on were frustrating, but that's okay, it meant you had to figure out how to get to the next platform. But these cons didn't make the game bad enough to receive such a low rating, IMO.
i diddnt played the game. but with a 6.5 in this game you look really angry. i can say that maybe you are right i will play it too but some guys over here say that this is better the god of war. i didnt played the game but no action game is better the god of war!
this game is super fun! i loved it! i like the dark feel of it too. Graphics are perfect to give it the feel the way a alice game should be. I am going to play it again. Give this game a 9. Why you say a 9? Because i would of liked the game to be a little more longer but other then that its still a fun game
@Ziggist123 and.. how much did you play a day? because if you only play one hour a week.. it's not very long.. but if you play one hour a day, it's a long game...
It's like MW3 doesn't have invisible fucking walls ... .you can take those walls and shove them up your ass .... repetitive ? FUCK YOU ....... since cod4 all the sequels are the same shit .... shoot everything on the fucking screen ... .how is that not repetitive ? GOD FUCKING DAMMIT .......... the campaign in madness returns is longer than the entire single player in MW2 combined with MW3 and black fucks ...
@Keevin93S thx captain obvious, I didn't knoooow... :| (sarcasm) ... where did you get that in the first place ? I wasn't talking about 1 person, but the whole IGN group and how they are just some big hypocrites who give a great game a bad note complaining about invisible walls which don't actually affect the experience and about the game being repetitive, when COD is all about killing some dudes who do the same thing over and over again. 2 words: hypocrisy and fanboysm .
HOW CAN YOU GIVE THIS GAME A 6.5?!?!! ok maybe duke nukem deserves a bad review BUT NOT AMR!!! U HAVE SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS!! THIS GAME IS SO BEAST!! YOU JUST REVIEW IT BY THE GRAPHICS AND HOW U CANT GO THROUGH FREAKIN OPEN SPACES!????!??!! that is messed UP!!!!
Whats wrong with IGN you fucking idiots dont you fucking know anything about games?!
You gave this game fucking 6.5 and Mw3 9 i mean ARE YOU FUCKING FANBOYS OR JUST FUCKING RETARDED ASSHOLES WHO THINKS THAT CALL OF DUTY IS THE BEST GAME EVER I MEAN COME ON FUCKING BASTERDS CALL OF DUTY IS ONE OF THE WORST SERIES EVER , WORST gAMES EVER EVER EVER!!!!!
The reviewer didn't get the game at all. In fact, I am willing to wager that he didn't play it hardly and was payed to deliver a predetermined review that was conceived by a soulless deadbeat. Why? For the purpose of pushing other games out there such as MW3. IGN is likely payed to endorse those games and recommend them before true gems like Alice: Madness Returns.
Those "invisible walls" as the reviewer so dimly put it, are there to keep you from falling into an abyss outside the map. Anyone with the least of sense should know this. As for the graphics, I can't complain. In fact, at times I stop and admire the artistry behind them. While I'll admit some textures are less than perfect and some particle effects are pixelated (pig snout flash), they don't bother me at all. -Continued
What? such a low score? you got to be kiding. I was a great game sure it wasnt as much of a fight as in DMC games and I did find the jumping annoing but hell as a whole the game was one of the best I played lately
GOOD REVIEW. Dumb though how you show the invisible wall only in one place. But ya it blocks like that in many different places, even on the path. Also retarted how the double and triple jumps dont always work, LAME, and makes you angry as $%^#. Only 4 weapons LAME. Long game play WOW! Crazy story line. Doesn't really make sense and the ending? WTF??? Really? You'll only like this game if you've played and liked the first one. I loved #1. #1 had freakin awesome weapons. I give #2 a 7.5
@danilovic97 i agree so bad dude, IGN just sucks CODS Ballsack, MW3 is fucking shit i know. ISniper ghost warrior deserves more of a run for its money.
I love this game, I can not stress how much I love this game.
It is twisted, weird, and frightening, with a very dark underlining message.
The dialogue is utterly amazing, also the characters are amazing.
I personally am a head over heals Carpenter Fangirl.
Do not be fooled by this bad review, unless you prefer games with terrible dialogue, with no plot, and cookie cutter characters. Then this game is most definitely not for you.
How come whenever a game gets a bad review, everyone has to bring up CoD and compare it to MW3 review. Like what they look for in a game like this will differ to a FPS. Not a fanboy just saying...
1. they don't take into account certian aspects of development (Alice was using unreal engine which looks great but has trouble loading textures yet they take points off for that though that has been an issue since gears)
2. They go looking for problems (holes in the wall... rly. and you just so happen to miss the glaring issues for other games)
3. They rant so much about the pointless junk that they miss actual issues (did you guys know that the ps3 version has severely dumbed down textures and effects. The problem is so bad that the game actually looks more similar to the original than as 2011 game. Did IGN cover this.... nope
4. they take too many points off (so your telling me that the game loses 4.5 pts. because some textures pop in and there are invisible walls?)
Sure the invisble walls and the repetative game play does get old but the vidoe games are suppose to make you feel cuaght up in its own little world and sir you just have or dont have good taste over good games. lol .cuase miss alice rocks! way different from any other game this is simply a matser piece.
@xSopaku It's all up to opinion. I love WoW, but don't really like CoD. I personally prefer Battlefield over CoD because it is more tactical and requires strategy and teamwork rather than running in like a one man army.
I don't know why but I always buy a game AND THEN I check out the reviews. I just bought this game and I'm about to fire it up. This review makes me think I made a mistake but the comments tell me I got myself a buried treasure.
I THOUGHT MY VIDEOS WERE THE WORST VIDEO EVER CREATED (CUZ I NAMED A VIDEO THAT) BUT THIS IS THE WORST VIDEO EVER CREATED................. REBECCA BLACK SEEMS TO MADE A BETTER VIDEO THAN THIS!!!!!
are they aware that by reviewing games the way they review them it deters people from buying pretty much any game, i was about to buy it on steam but now im thinks twice before hitting the purchase button.
it needs to keep you pointed in a certain direction to keep you on the right track. game play isn't any more repetative than any other action game and textures do pop in but that seen with almost all umreal 3 engine games.
? 6.5 WTF?? This game is amazing, it was so fucked up and was exactly what i call "madness" , i agree gameplay is repetative, but graphic is just fucking amazing ! CoD MW3 is one of the worst games i played this year and you rated it like 9 or something, wtf is wrong with you ign?
@danilovic97 I agree with you, this game is awesome, though I never played it, but I watch the walkthrough, it was awesomeI loved ever min. of it. it's a 9 in mine book.
The game could have been so much better. Seriously, its coded to run at 31 FPS by default and you have to edit a text file to remove this limit.
For all of you people defending the game you're being dumb. The game is fun but it does have all of the flaws mentioned in this video, it feels like it was released one month too early and they stopped polishing it.
@Ruflcopta I agree with you for most part - I gotta say the graphical issues didn't have a major impact on my gameplay experience, I was more annoyed by the absolutely FORCED writing that is in the game. It's like they sat down and thought: Let's make some peculiar rambling dialogue to make it all seem even more mysterious. Naturally, one can argue that it's meant to be that way, but I felt the dialogue was forced, and near the end, I downright hated every scene with a talking character.
Oh, but that scene with the tree that he's talking about, those trees are the wrong way, that's why you cant get through them. Not because the game is glitching. That one was on purpose.
I'm glad that professional people are having problems with the "Invisible walls" too. I thought my computer had gone crazy. It's not old enough to go crazy.
This game is amazing, the only slight problem i had was when i entered certain areas in shrink mode my controls inverted, then switched back. Frankly i dont give a damn, this game is brilliant beyond reason.

Just search for Alice Madness Returns remved content and you will see what I mean. It is a good game, but it could have been much better.

WOAH WOAH WOAH. reviews are ALL about opinions. reviews are the OPINIONS of the game as given by professional game critics. linearity is an OPINION about how linear someone THINKS the story is. the lack of bosses is whether someone THINKS there are lots of bosses or not. whether the art and style is beautiful or not is an OPINION.

@RonnieRonnieRonniee
Really? I thought that review should describe the game and rate the game (graphic, gameplay, sound, etc.) objectively, so the gamers will know what to expect from the game. If their are about opinions, then a critic can say: The graphic are bad, cause I dont like it, the gameplay is bad cause I dont like it. I hate BF 3 series but if I have to rate I also point out the good features (epic battle atmosphere, great sounds, incredible graphic, etc.)
OmbudsmanS1 1 week ago
@OmbudsmanS1 you fail to grasp the meaning of subjective and objective, so let me explain it to you using plain english:
- objective means WITHOUT AN OPINION
- that means that if you say it is fast, slow, good, bad, it is an OPINION and therefore is SUBJECTIVE and NOT OBJECTIVE
- everything you just said, (EPIC battle atmosphere, GREAT sounds, INCREDIBLE graphics) is an opinion of whether it is good or not.
- had you said BF3 plays on 1080p, that would be OBJECTIVE

@RonnieRonnieRonniee
OK You have won. My english is not that good and I am obviously not that inteligent to figure what is objective and subjective. Now I know that every review is subjective, but it just doesnt seem right that the game critics think that invisible walls and graphical issues make the game bad. I mean there are some features, witch makes the game good or bad and witch really infuece the gameplay and are more important then some minor problems.
OmbudsmanS1 1 week ago
@OmbudsmanS1 sorry for insulting you. you really shouldn't let these reviews get to you. you clearly already own the game and like it, so why argue with the opinion of somebody else? instead you should join up with people who like it as well as you.
RonnieRonnieRonniee 1 week ago
@RonnieRonnieRonniee
Yes, now then I think of it, it is pretty good system of rating games. Game fans, like me, point out the good features, while the reviewer points ou the bad features. Viewer will mix these opinions and picture the game correctly. Never thought of it this way.

greshxxxx 1 month ago
@greshxxxx Yes, because reviews should be objective and not about reviewers opinions, whitch make the game underrated or overrated. I dont hate the reviewer, because he gives the game a low score, but because of unimportant facts he pointed out. Every game has invisible walls, god of war 3 got about 9 points and there are invisible walls everywhere, graphical issues? What? The games graphic is magnificent, even if it is outdated, COD MW3 got 9 points and it also has outdated graphic.

6.5? I think the game deserves a higher rating than that. What I want to know is what console version was he reviewing. (Probably the PC one.) I own the Xbox 360 version and the only problems I had with the gameplay were Alice getting stuck sometimes and unresponsive/sticky controls. True, the jumping puzzles later on were frustrating, but that's okay, it meant you had to figure out how to get to the next platform. But these cons didn't make the game bad enough to receive such a low rating, IMO.

The reviewer didn't get the game at all. In fact, I am willing to wager that he didn't play it hardly and was payed to deliver a predetermined review that was conceived by a soulless deadbeat. Why? For the purpose of pushing other games out there such as MW3. IGN is likely payed to endorse those games and recommend them before true gems like Alice: Madness Returns.
DustinHahnMusic 1 month ago
Those "invisible walls" as the reviewer so dimly put it, are there to keep you from falling into an abyss outside the map. Anyone with the least of sense should know this. As for the graphics, I can't complain. In fact, at times I stop and admire the artistry behind them. While I'll admit some textures are less than perfect and some particle effects are pixelated (pig snout flash), they don't bother me at all. -Continued

GOOD REVIEW. Dumb though how you show the invisible wall only in one place. But ya it blocks like that in many different places, even on the path. Also retarted how the double and triple jumps dont always work, LAME, and makes you angry as $%^#. Only 4 weapons LAME. Long game play WOW! Crazy story line. Doesn't really make sense and the ending? WTF??? Really? You'll only like this game if you've played and liked the first one. I loved #1. #1 had freakin awesome weapons. I give #2 a 7.5

It is twisted, weird, and frightening, with a very dark underlining message.
The dialogue is utterly amazing, also the characters are amazing.

Do not be fooled by this bad review, unless you prefer games with terrible dialogue, with no plot, and cookie cutter characters. Then this game is most definitely not for you.

What i find amazing is that
1. they don't take into account certian aspects of development (Alice was using unreal engine which looks great but has trouble loading textures yet they take points off for that though that has been an issue since gears)
2. They go looking for problems (holes in the wall... rly. and you just so happen to miss the glaring issues for other games)
to be contined

@AxPOTATOxWITHxCHEESE PT.2
3. They rant so much about the pointless junk that they miss actual issues (did you guys know that the ps3 version has severely dumbed down textures and effects. The problem is so bad that the game actually looks more similar to the original than as 2011 game. Did IGN cover this.... nope
4. they take too many points off (so your telling me that the game loses 4.5 pts. because some textures pop in and there are invisible walls?)

For all of you people defending the game you're being dumb. The game is fun but it does have all of the flaws mentioned in this video, it feels like it was released one month too early and they stopped polishing it.
Ruflcopta 2 months ago
@Ruflcopta I agree with you for most part - I gotta say the graphical issues didn't have a major impact on my gameplay experience, I was more annoyed by the absolutely FORCED writing that is in the game. It's like they sat down and thought: Let's make some peculiar rambling dialogue to make it all seem even more mysterious. Naturally, one can argue that it's meant to be that way, but I felt the dialogue was forced, and near the end, I downright hated every scene with a talking character.
