Alice: Madness Returns

[seabizzit]

I just finished Alice: Madness Returns. Hmm, it wasn't too bad. Some aspects of the game were interesting, but the story was rather thin. Dialogue was really good, and the Cheshire cat is awesome as always. It's a shame he had the same role from the first game. I like him

BTW if you want to talk about games that have thin plots games like Borderlands are WAY More guilty of that than Alice Madness Returns.. the ending there didn't even have any sort of meaningful payoff in any kind of way... less so than even Alice. The plot in Borderlands was thread bare in favor of "not interrupting the player with cut scenes or dialog trees" and they purposely went after that as a goal. When they would have a cut scene it was ONLY to introduce a character and the camera would zoom up to them they would do a pose and it would say their name and they would recite a line and that's it. Compared to games like those Alice had an in depth plot! ;) Of course not to the level of a totally narrative based game like say.... Heavy Rain or a full fledged adventure game which it is not.

Seriously I sunk the dozens of hours it takes to complete borderlands into it and came away from it not really feeling like there was a plot whatsoever other than "OH noes there's a vault that is going to open soon you must rush to it and see what's up with it LOOT LOOT LOOT... DA TA DAA DAA YOU WIN and the vault is closed for another 2k years!"
