Later she acquires other weapons, such as a staff that shoots bolts of energy, dice that emit deadly gas, a time-stopping watch, and others. Weapons have an alternate fire mode, which usually inflicts more damage but depletes Alice's magical energy. The latter, along with Alice's health, can be restored by collecting the essence of defeated foes. The game also features platforming sequences, during which Alice has to jump over gaps, avoid obstacles, or climb in order to reach her goal.
Puzzle-solving usually involves manipulating the environment rather than using inventory items. As I played, I was giddy with anticipation as to what would happen next in this strange game. Any time I felt a little lost as for what to do, I called the Cheshire Cat, who would promptly appear and give a vague clue as to what should happen next. Personally, I would have liked to see the cat fight along with Alice occasionally, as he has always seemed a bit sinister and now with his mangy punk rock look, I thought he could really tear someone up.
Alas, he never did. Mini cut-scenes popped up often and would direct Alice as to what needed to be done next. The turn as an insect sized human was to be expected, but this reviewer was in awe of the impressive attention to detail and battles one would expect if shrunken down to the size of an ant.
With dive bombing bees and angry fire ants, Alice has her hands full -- add in the crumbling ground and the trek down river which was probably a trickle and it makes the need to save often even more critical. Luckily, killing most opponents results in a life icon that will give Alice a much needed boost. My personal fave was when Alice first fell into the water without getting out in time -- a large mouthed fish came up and swallowed her whole.
What a grisly fate. As far as actions are concerned, Alice runs around and does the typical jump and attack thing, but must have learned a trick or two from Lara Croft because she can jump up to ledges and hang or shimmy along a ledge lip. Now, since avoiding the enemies is often far wiser then attacking, using this trick will prove most valuable. Another plus of this game is the enemy A. Often the guards or other bad guys would gang up on me by backing me into a corner or each other, a move that would result in my death many times.
I was impressed. Most of the time I was running, as the bad guys were best picked off at a safe distance. Finally, the bosses of this game were done very well, all had the appropriate twisted look to them and so as not to ruin any gaming experiences, usually were unexpected.
Doing battle involved timing and being fleet of foot, since Alice possesses no sort of armor or magic set fire to the Duchess and run like hell. Alice is a single player game, but in this reviewer's opinion would make one heck of a multiplayer game with its nasty, nasty weapons. To me, a game like Alice , even with its friendly controls and easy to learn gameplay would be enjoyable even without good graphics.
Fortunately, this is not a problem. Alice has tremendous atmosphere, brought on by stylish coloring and rendering. With no lag and sharp edges, the action comes at a brisk pace.
A fine job done by the EA team. Frankly I was surprised there were any in such a graphically superior game. With the screech of Wraiths and the almost melancholy English accent of Alice I was grinning ear to ear. When the Cheshire cat spoke in an almost hushed, sinister voice I smirked with delight. And with the incessant ramblings of the obviously insane Duchess I nodded my head approvingly. The character voices were done by actors who obviously knew their material.
An excellent job. The slice of air as my playing cards stuck into my enemies, the evil laugh of the tortured school children. My hat is off. Alice is a game designed for the mature gamer. But for the rest of us, it is an excellent game with plenty of character and story development, engaging plot and rich graphics. This game will undoubtedly appeal to the gamer of a more disturbed taste.
I liked it. Take on the role of Alice in Wonderland as she attempts to dream her way through Lewis Carroll's bizarre imagination. This latest electronic adventure based on the venerable classic features excellent graphics, interesting puzzles and one of the finest user interfaces I've ever seen to enhance play. In fact, the user interface is the first thing to catch your eye. It consists of multiple windows for compass, inventory, graphics, map, text and "what's in the room".
Any or all of these windows can be opened at any time. Players will probably opt to use only one or two at a time, since having them all visible simultaneously provides lots of information but makes for a crowded screen. The easiest way to manipulate the windows is with a mouse, although the keyboard can be used. The graphics window provides a first-person view of the current environment as seen through Alice's eyes, and a click produces descriptions of each item.
The compass window is especially usable, since only valid exits from the current room can be selected. It's also a quick-travel asset, since clicking on a compass point moves Alice in that direction.
The map window shows the rooms already visited, relieving the chore of mapping Alice's travels. A nice touch lets the gamer, return to any spot by clicking on that room. Windowed icons make object manipulation very easy. Just click on an object in the "what's in the room" window, and drag it to the inventory window - Alice will carry that object. Pull-down menus of verbs and nouns limit the selections to what is possible, eliminating the guesswork. The noun menu provides a list of objects, then a submenu for each object provides the valid choices of verbs.
Wonderland boasts superb graphics and a musical sound track of remarkable clarity. The parser is quite advanced, making text entry less of a chore. It understands compound commands get the jewel and put it in the bag and can ask questions for clarification.
Unlike other games of this genre, however, answers can be limited to the minimum information necessary. The puzzles may prove too much for a novice, but they are not particularly hard for an experienced adventurer. Fortunately, a well-defined help function provides increasing levels of hints.
There is quite a lot of humor built into Wonderland's responses - the designers anticipated some pretty outrageous requests. Wonderland is an enjoyable, imaginative visit to Carroll's world and definitely the most successful game to date based on the book.
The designers brought new life to Alice's adventure in this electronic media, and in so doing, they advanced the state of gaming art by a significant degree. No one who loved the original should miss this lively reenactment.
I got it to play quite well on win 7 after I ran it on XP3 compatibility mode as administrator. I'm so glad this was here, I bought Alice back in and had wanted to play it again but couldn't get the discs to work in any of my computers. It's a classic!

Every time I start the game and begin to play when I get to a loading screen the game freezes and doesn't allow me to force quit. I really want to play this game and I can't afford a physical copy so it would suck if I can only play the introduction but not progress pass that.
I don't know what to do and would love some help. I had this game as an actual physical copy and played the hell out of it as a kid, but now it doesn't work on my Windows 10 laptop, so this is really helpful. Thanks for bringing back one of my favorite games :. The only way to leave the game is to quit and close it down. Any ideas if this can be fixed? TheNiclas 1 point. The Corgi 6 points.

The solitary possibility for Alice to reestablish her true serenity and discover more about the demise of her folks is to battle through Wonderland and free it from the underhanded forces. The interactivity is a third-individual activity with platforming, shooting, and light riddle tackling components. Alice begins with a blade, which can be utilized as a scuffle weapon or tossed at foes.
