I absolutely love this game. I don't know if I own it any more. I really hope I do because, as you said, picking it up ain't easy these days.

This game has existed (and placed high) on my "games to play" list for an age. I should get back on the search for it.
For us. For them. For you. |

I was so pissed off with the fact that it had taken me months to track down a copy. I mean, even if a game is great, if no-one can find a copy to play the thing... Point taken though.

We have this game for the PC. Our dad got it because it seemed strange. Well, it is strange. I haven't played much of it, since I think we were really young when he got it and he was like "Not for you". He did let us watch, though. >_>

Well Lewis Carrol was a big fan of the smack, wasn't he?

Wolf, why do you find it odd that it's listed as a first person shooter, when mechanically, that is clearly what it is :)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is dark only in the sense that everyone in wonderland is absolutely mad.

Mechanically, at a push, it could be a third-person shooter. Its camera kind of prevents the description of FPS, though, doesn't it?

Yeah. Alice seemed more of an action-adventure / platformer type to me. And it's classified that way on Gamefaqs (though that may not be the most credible source, but still).

Actually you are both totally correct and I was having a brain collapse. But then what I said after - I realise that's why in my memory it still feels FPSy, because it's so weapony and killy.

My thoughts on a few things:
Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic." |

Update, in case anyone doesn't know, apparently Alice is getting a revival. By EA.
