Alice - In a Twisted Wonderland

[Monolith]

I've just been playing the demo for Alice (EA Game), and I can easily say that this is what a good game should be. The gameplay is the best that I have ever seen. (ok, so I haven't played many other games, but this is real good).

Gee, this is sounding a lot like an advertisement...

Anyway, this sort of gameplay would be great for JJ3 if a little more action was incorporated, but what makes it so good is the various problem solving stuff. Some problem solving parts were intended to be in JJ2 with the fire and ice sort of stuff, but it was rarely chalanging. Also some of the Wonderland environments look like the sort of stuff that there would be in JJ3.

It's a shame I'm so bad at this game, even though it's just the demo and it's set on easy http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif.



Sorry. Just needed to ramble a bit about this game, because I haven't seen many this good for a while http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif.

Oh I thought you meant http://www.alicecomics.com/today.html

It is a comic strip which I wouldn'r be surprised if it wound up in a newpaper someday. (The main reason for my thought was 'entertainment defined") And I don't belive I've heard of this game, what is it anyway?

[Monolith]

I changed the title to make it a little clearer. I belive the actual title of the game is "American McGee's Alice."

Wait, is that in any relation to one of those books about Pioneer girls in history? It sounds familiar... ;-P

Aside from that, I have come to the conclusion that ZZT has the most realistic graphics in a game I've ever seen.



I mean, just look at this beauty!

For a minute there I thought that Electro actually typed up that game.

The game's gameplay is actually pretty stale, but the game is astounding from a design standpoint.

I think I've read about this game in CGW, it sounds pretty cool although I'll still have to try it to really find out, but so far the articles I've seen about it are positive.

Soon a new game will be on the market called evil twins.

its a great game with almost the same engine but i heard from previewers that its even scaryer then alice and you can play as two characters.

The Alice engine is the Quake 3 engine...



If they can match the Quake 3 engine I'd be REALLY REALLY surprised http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Case in point: Tribes 2, pretty graphics, crappiest code ever.
