yeah, all of the levels have been pretty cool so far. i like the dark take on alice in wonderland.. something about a little girl with a big knife, running around, killing shit, rubs me the right way.

I dunno...The real Alice in Wonderland stories were freaky enough as it is. I've never been a fan of modernizing or darkenizing things like that.

Woah shit, its so much fun. I've had it, but I didn't have time and it went to the bottom of my pile of CDs...but I must play it again soon. Definately a cool take on the whole thing...

Yep, bought it and played the hell out of it last year. I still keep it around to loan out to friends that haven't experienced it.

I found that I could only play it for an hour or two before I had to take a break though. The background music and sounds were creepy enough that they got me on edge rather quickly.

Yea, I bought the game goin' "Well hell, I've got $20 extra, and damn it, Alice and the cat just look kool", and the fact that the dude from NIN (Well, not FROM Nin, but yea) did the music was a plus. I figured it would be a cheese wank game with nothing but a kool twist (Which is most talked about on this thread, and the most talked about aspect of the game). I was rather surprised though. The storyline held up, and I even read the little "journal" deal that came with the game, which I thought was kooler than fuck cause it just gave the game more depth, even though it wasn't a part of the game. The battle system, while nothing new or speical, was kept interesting by the weapons, and the shit that was constantly flung (all in helpfulness though) by the cat was rather amusing. Great game as I hear most of Alice McGee's are. And of course, Clive Barker, can't go terribly wrong with him. I would say a definite pick up for the price (Hell, you could probably find it under $20 these days).

You could probably find a no disk hack quite easily...have you looked into that?
