This Game is a Hack N Slash/Platformer that takes Alice from Alice in Wonderland back into wonderland for a new adventure. 11 years after the fire that took her parents from her Alice starts to lose her sanity again and she is sucked back into wonderland to figure things out.
This Game takes total about 12 hours to beat not including all of the side stuff.
Backstory- A few months after Through The Looking Glass Alice is asleep when all of a sudden a fire breaks out killing her family and forcing her to go insane. While in the asylum wonderland calls asking for her to save them and as she goes back wonderland is screwed up. Alice travels through fixing wonderland and at the same time fixing her mind. 11 Years later Alice returns to wonderland as something is messed up again...
Anyway let's get on with the review...
Graphics- The graphics in this game look beautiful and well crafted. Each world has it's own unique look that makes it so much more unique and seems to make you want to see what is in the next world.
Gameplay- The gameplay is Hack N Slash and is very similar to the Zelda series and such but with the Alice twists. Alice wields a Vorpal Blade to attack with initially and can gather a slew of other menacingly cool and powerful weapons to fight with. She can get everything from an Umbrella to a Teapot Cannon and none of the weapons have the same fighting style. Also the ability to upgrade said weapons and immediately tell a difference makes upgrading each weapon a good thing even if it is just to see all the cool weapon designs.

Sound- The sound is crafted to where it fits each and every area your in. From the Chinese sounding tunes of the samurai world to the peaceful sounding tunes of the Vale of Tears the music fits very well.
Storytelling- Alice is trying to figure out why things people have told her about the fire seem to fit. As she ventures wonderland saving everyone she also sorts out memories and tries to find the truth.The story is told in a pace people can keep up with and also is told with backstory slipped in between the current story effectively allowing newcomers to understand what is going on. At times the story does get a little confusing to newcomers but is quickly remedied in the next little portion.
My Opinion- The game really isn't given justice by most reviews. I found the game very enjoyable and very addictive. For those of us waiting 11 years Alice Madness Returns was no disappointment. Getting to venture wonderland and find out what happened really gave me a taste of satisfaction as I ventured wonderland completely. The main complaint was about the graphics which in my opinion really looked beautiful. The gameplay while the same as other games still had it's Alice twist making it a joy to sit through.
I recommend this game but don't just listen to me try it yourself
