Anyone here ever play "American McGee's Alice"?

I need a review. I remember seeing it when it first came out in 2000 and I was curious about it, but I never went to look at it. But I'm curious: how is the game? FYI, it's a PC game. Do people play those anymore? If you guys still aren't sure what I'm talking about, here's a link:

It is one of the more impressive games I have ever played. The graphics it had at the time of it's release were top notch. The game is based on the book "Alice in Wonderland" of course, but places a dark spin on the tale, and is rated M for mature. It isn't really gory so much, as it is kind of creepy. (Some areas in the game are enlightening and uplifting, but a fair bit of the game is a bit creepy) You play the role of a polite, mannerly and spunky little girl named Alice, who isn't afraid of anything. As you travel along throughout Wonderland you will noticed flesh-like moving tentacles here and there. (They, by the way, are suppose to represent the influence of the evil Red Queen. Like the tentacles of an octopus her evil influence reaches into all areas of Wonderland) There isn't any foul language or sexual themes in the game. The violence in the game is always at things that represent something evil...namely those who are allied with the evil Red Queen. The game was a PC game yes, and would probably not play on an XP or Visa OS. According to the system requirements you would need Windows 95, 98 or ME to play it. I just got through playing it again for the third time recently. Just wanted to reminisce about it. The surrealism in the game is not like any other game I have ever ran into, and it still stands out for that reason, but the game doesn't quite have the shine and spark it once had. Look how good graphics have been getting since the last generation systems have came out, though! If you are half-way interested in the game (and can find it...and a system that will play it), you should still play the game. You can run down the reviews of almost any noteworthy game at Metacritic.com you know. Find the game you want information about, and there are links to almost every review even written about that game. Most of the critics were favorable toward Alice but there were complaints about the game being too linear (a lot of games are linear as far as that goes) and also complaints about the jumping puzzels in the game. There is a fair bit of jumping in the game, but it didn't really bother me. It is easy enough to just make her jump by hitting the space bar. (If you are more of a veteran gamer the jumping stuff does get old with you in games). It would be hard for me to really tell you everything about the game, besides, that would ruin a lot of the fun you would have playing it yourself. Just go to metacritic.com and read some more info on it. Might still find some youtube videos of it too if you check.
No, it is sick and demented and probably fun.Anyone here ever play "American McGee's Alice"?
I played it when it first came out. It was wonderful, but my computer wasn't fast enough for me to enjoy it like it was meant to be enjoyed.
I've played it on a Mac and a PC. It is a good game, really indepth.Anyone here ever play "American McGee's Alice"?
ooo, i remember that - great game!
American McGee's Alice is one of my favorite games of all time! It is a very dark take on the Alice in Wonderland story. The colors in the game are so beautiful and you really do feel like Alice in Wonderland. I remember there being some very hard parts to the game that took me forever to get past, but it was so entertaining that I've probably beat the game 3 times now. Graphics are so beautiful....worth every penny! You can see some videos of gameplay here and decide for yourself: http://www.videocarnage.com/index.php?se鈥?/a>
