Thanks for checking out my playthrough of Alice: Madness Returns! This gem came out in 2011 on PC, PS3 and XBOX360! I'm playing it on the Xbox Series X so that probably explains the quick load times! If you're excited for this series don't forget to leave a like to help out the channel, thanks!

I will take stylized artwork over realism in video games anyday. It ages better and is able to sell the setting so well. For games like this it sells the heightened reality and unreality of it all.

These fights are going to get progressively more harder for you. Here's a hint that will help you immensely: Use the Rabbit Bomb as a distraction to get away from enemies. Don't detonate it, just let the enemies crowd around it. Gives you A LOT of breathing space from hordes of enemies.

Gabs, if you're wondering how Alice ended up in the river from the rooftops, there was actually a lot of content cut from the game. One of it involving Alice murdering Pris Witless (the old lady with the pigeon) while she was hallucinating her being a monster and escaping the cops by jumping across the buildings until she falls into the river and ends up on the piers.

@@saorise28 Development time was limited so they had to scrap several concepts, most notably they removed a lot of the content for when Alice was in the real world. Alice in the real world was supposed to have her own version of mini games where she jumps from the rooftops, runs from the police, combat etc. You'll notice that the real world parts of the game are all just exploration and dialogue with Alice just losing consciousness and appearing somewhere else with no explanation as to how she got there. It was all cut.

@@Torthrodhel Oh he cares alright.. cares about making sure she does NOT gather the pieces of the jig-saw (which needs only her memory), the process of elimination (n common sense) will inevitably put the pieces together.. sooner or later! Remember the quote (m'lazy n paraphrasing) words to the effect of our pets being a doppelganger of ourselves, mentions her toy rabbit, n to the crux of the point "That cat of yours must have been a confident. Dinah was ALWAYS AROUND YOU.. wasn't she" Its a shame SO MUCH WAS CUT OUT, I think it ruined it. But at the very beginning, Bumby's 'Professional opinion' concluded "that the cat most likely knocked over the oil lantern that was found in the library.. starting the fire" Of course that's just the start of it (I don't wanna spoil anything for anyone at this point), but I know u know what I mean, X ..n actually ur right! His 'fear' of her remembering is but an inconvenience he could do w/ out.. I mean THE NERVE! ..for reasons the game eventually reveals. The brass neck tho, lol.. so casual about it! EDIT: Yeah I just realised that was the start of the NEXT chapter, n it was Dr Radcliff's 'pro opinion', AND (of all that WAS) that scene was not cut out. Its been far. Too. Long! IDK why, but I 'remember' that 'Cat Culprit' scene as being near (if not at) the start of the game. N The Inferno Train w/ "That train is perfectly capable of terrifying me, YOU should find something better to do" as the 1st time Cheshire makes his appearance.. near the start of the game. I also remember the scene prior to the 'Shipwreck' side scroller as some 'captain' ushering Alice onto the ship w/ a sense of urgency. Don't remember the details, but it was a situation where the ship was her only chance of survival. I also 'remember' the Carpenters 'show' as being very different, despite starting the same!

"Sore sights that preyed on me for days & in laudanum's haze I PAINTED THEM ALL" -Dani Filth. Yup, n 'madness' meant getting holes drilled in yer head, electric shocks (aka E.C.T 'treatment'), prolonged periods on the 'chair-spin-round', then doped up on opioids to keep ya inanimate while 'in storage' (bedridden in cell).. ..storage could be as long as they 'see fit', no rush.. just 'whenever'.. till its time to subject another 'subject' to a well documented LOBOTOMY! ..ALL in the name of 'science' & 'medical research'. Science is about exploring uncharted territory, is it not? ..& if that doesn't make the apparently n allegedly 'mad', Truly mad.. then maybe they WERE mad all along?! 🤔 So many ppl condemned to unimaginable torture n torment.. away from the public's prying eyes (who ironically r 2 SCARED to go NEAR the madhouse), Trusting that they're in 'expert' hands n the best care. & a perfect solution for 'well-to-do' families to dump their 'EMBARRASSMENTS'! I call it MADNESS, n yeah, a MADHOUSE is exactly what those 'asylums' were. Spellchecker even accepts it as a legitimate word.

I'm so glad I got to see Gab discover and enjoy them. 1:16:52 BTW, for anyone wondering like Gab did why Disney had the apology at the beginning of Aristocats it's because, like with Lady and the Tramp, they have a racist bit with a buck-toothed Siamese cat (played by a white man) in the song Everybody Wants To Be A Cat where it played the piano with chopsticks, had a drum kit's symbol on his head, squinted his eyes, and sang "Shanghai, Hong Kong, Egg Fu Yung, fortune cookie always wrong" So... yeah, movie and animation studios in the 50's and 60's did not like Asians apparently because all of them have this kind of content in their movies back then. ʅ(ツ)ʃ

for a game that is 11 years old the physics are really well, from the hair, to the shadows moving around Alice depending on where the light is coming from! Also, about the apologies in Disney movies. In Sweden there is a tradition to watch "Donald Duck" on Christmas before opening the gifts, it has clips from older Disney movies, from the "Junglebook" to "Ferdinand" and even "Santa's workshop" which has some... not so subtle hints of racism, but last year -- or 2020, I'm not sure -- they added an apology at the very end of the program

12:15, you said that Alice's jump was not suppose to happen but it actually was. I thought you figured it out last episode but a lot happened last chapter: If you shrink down Alice gets small and she starts hiccupping. While she is small, there are also hidden messages or secrets. They can point you collectibles or hidden teeth. If you were to shrink down at that timestamp, you would have seen a purple invisible platform

5:08 True. I think they are still a huge deal today though! ;) Bc even nowadays very little games go for realistic hair physics like they did in Alice. Dead or Alive does it, but other than that a lot of games still use either fix hair or just slightly moving hair.

1:26:51 I think the oysters body may be a reference to how working girls or showgirls are exploited in the industry and are stripped of their humanity literally and figuratively. All the Alice characters are a kinda parallel to the real world I thing the carpenter is like the dude who was telling woman to send her girls back out on the streets or he’d come and beat her up. And their high voices are symbolic of them often being young girls making them easier to control

At 1:08, that moment happens a lot in this game. I think that the idea is that Alice's Wonderland is crossing over into her reality a little bit. This game is AMAZING! I like the Cheshire Cat best!!

1:16:59 it's because it has a portrayal of a Siamese cat playing "Chopsticks" with Chopsticks on a piano while also having stereotypical "Asian" eyes.

To be fair, Madness Returns being a linear story, with only really one protagonist with actual hair would allow the developers to devote more resources to make it look good, compared to an open world (i.e. Skyrim) full of NPCs that need individual strands of hair blowing in the wind, and floating in the water... But still, the helmet-hair of Skyrim remains a constant source of irritation to me - not least of which because they didn't even bother making sure it doesn't clip through clothing or the character's own ears (which would hypothetically be even easier to avoid, when the hair is static, like in Skyrim.)

We had one of the old VHS sing-a-long tapes with a song from Aristocrats. The Siamese cat's line was "Shang-hi, Hong Kong, Egg Foo Yung. Fortune Cookie always wrong." while playing the piano with chopsticks. Can't remember the full movie, but that's enough.

(I might be mishearing it... / The game is called *_Castleween_* for the PS2/GBA...) 1:39:43 - 1:39:45 ---> Alice swinging back and forth... (Sometimes Alice comes off being creepy and cute, but not at the same time...)

as a little tip, if you do a hammer combo you can then press knife to do a quick knife attack and it deals a lot of damage. Same thing with the knife, you do the full knife combo then use the horse hammer, boom, special chain attack!
