I almost declared war to north america, because you made fun of our european purple juice. But in the last minute, i decided against it, because of the cat in the ad. Never make fun of european purple juice again, because it's part of our history. Every european citizen has a small bottle of purple juice in his pocket at all time. Germans invented the car as a fast method to transport purple juice faster. Italy is the purple juice super power, they make the finest purple juice. If you make fun of our juice again, we will show no mercy and steal all the ckichen wing bags from you north americans.

@@nova9731 If I remember the situation correctly - it's a complete mess, something like AMcG owns the rights to the game but EA owns the rights to the publishing and distribution of the franchise. So EA can't make any more games in the series without involving AMcG and have to pay AMcG a % on every sale of the existing games, and AMcG can't publish anything in the series any other way than through EA. He can theoretically make a game, but he will not be able to sell it without EA lawyers descending on him like a school of piranha.

I adore this game. It’s platforming and action is simple but effective but the art design is fantastic. The thing that sticks with me to this day is the crying statues at the start that slowly gets corrupted when you approach the corpse of the jabberwocky that you killed in the first game. Also fun fact originally the plan was to have that be a mech fight against mouse and rabbit but due to budget constraints it was cut

i do remember the game. it's biggest downside for me was the length of the levels. they kinda overstay their welcome. But the game is still great and disturbing. I would highly suggest you to finish it on you own time if you don't want to make a video out of it. Edit: also the Hair, while looking kinda strange now, was something very special back then. I can't even remember a single game with hair physics on that level from that time.

Right?! I’ve played this game many times through, and the lengthy levels are probably its biggest turn off. They’re about double the length they need to be.

Man I remember when I was like 10 in BestBuy with my dad and I was in the video game section looking at the gaming magazines when I saw a section dedicated do Alice madness returns and I was so hyped because I loved creepy macabre stuff, those sailor moon dress-up games, and astrology and I loved Alice in wonderland so the mashup of these was like heaven to me I think a year later we were in BestBuy again and I asked dad if he could get me the one that came with the first game and the DLC weapons and dresses and I had such fun time with the game tho I was never able to beat the original b4 my ps3 broke 💔 seriously what a big brained move to have dresses that fit the area you're in and have astrological symbols that thematically fitted with the part of the story or the character it represents

Never played the game myself but I have seen a lot about it so I know a fair bit about it like someone who has played it and honestly love how crazy the story is and how far they went through with the dark things along with some of the easter eggs but I just realize this is the sequel don’t know if you knew that but just thought I would say it in case you didn’t

[@saiyasha848]

One sad thing: EA has screwed this series quite a few times. Not only have they refused to either let American McGee make his third game with more creative controlor let the IP go back to him so that he can do it himself, for this game too, they rushed the process, which is why there are no boss fight except for one in this game

[@djkenway4871]

Please touch on Alice asylum ea won’t touch the project at all and won’t sell or give him the rights to make his own game it’s very heart breaking honestly and there’s been a petition in hopes to make them turn over the rights or something

I remember playing this game only 3 years ago on EA pass thing. And i instantly fell in love with it. Holy shit It's so unique and twisted It's beautiful.

[@ellenbrouwerartist]

I first heard of American Mcgee’s Alice as a kid. My older sister showed my dad the trailer for the original game. I was so intrigued by the dark, gothic themes that when the sequel finally came out when I was 16, I was hooked. This will always be one of my favorite games,

[@RookieCookieBunny]

I only started gaming in my adulthood. This and lollipop chainsaw are the games that made me love games on xbox360.

[@annah7646]

they have the whole game bible almost finished (350 pages) of the full story, gameplay mechanics, character design etc. But they need to find someone to invest in it because EA isn't currently interested in funding it. Mcgee doesn't want microtransactions and EA is more focused on multi-player games. The best way to get the next game made is to raise public interest in it.

I played this game so much when I was young I memorized the "a good worker is a live worker" thing

[@FutayuriShironeko]

Dark fairy tales doesn't ruin disney movies. Disney rewrote fairy tales to be happy go lucky crap. Don't get me wrong they're good movies, but as someone who saw disney movies later in my childhood, fairy tales I remember are the originals, not happy and innocent versions disney made. First thing people think about when they hear "fairy tales" is Disney, first thing I personally think about are Grimm's fairy tales that are quite dark and some a bit fucked up to be told to children, as well as Folklore tales of malevolent pixies and sinister geists. So American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns were right up my alley and very nostalgic games.

Lol, here's my story. Loooong before owning a laptop, I saw a strange little beauty sitting on a Best Buy shelf priced at $20: American McGee's Alice. I bought that sucker and patiently waited 8 YEARS before finally being able to play it, the Only game on PC I ever bought. And played I did, over and over for several years until Madness Returns was announced. That was one of the very few games I ever pre-ordered, and it's only bonus was a digital soundtrack I couldn't download at the time. But it was worth it. The best was the digital code included to download the first game, play both through one disc with a controller instead of a keyboard. Hands down, one of the greatest series. I get Madness Returns, while smoother in combat, was very minimal in true fights. But visually, hard to beat that masterpiece. Both had so much going, I'm foaming for 3. Ok, ready to watch the video now.

There is a third more or less existent, but it needs founding from a publisher, as far as i understood correctly.
