Willow Berry They were planning to, they even completed the script for it. But eventually the project was abandoned and all we got was Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp.
well this one is certainly darker and has a more...interesting perspective on the whole Alice story. I don't know as much about the first one myself but the second follows the principle that because Alice's mind is in shambles, because she's losing her mind, so too is wonderland...because they are one and the same. of course even when being eighteen she hasn't really figured this out yet.
+murted murtedovic I vaguely know the gist of the first one, but as the sequel to American Mcgee's Alice, personally Madness Returns trumps in every way: story, gameplay, visuals, music, so on. As for the story, as you know, at the end if American Mcgee's Alice, Alice has conquered her inner demons, the Red Queen and in doing so regained some sense of sanity and happily left the asylum in which she had been confined in following her complete psychosis from the trauma of her family who died in the fire. However, the first game is left majorly unresolved; Alice still does not know what had really happened that led to the fire, and her merely defeating the Red Queen doesn't really mean all her problems and psychosis automatically goes away too. In fact, without spoiling too much, it is speculated that the Red Queen symbolizes Alice's pessimism; by killing pessimism, Alice can finally free herself of guilt that her family's death was her fault, but leads herself to denial. In the second game, we find out that immediately following her leaving Rutledge Asylum, Alice has been staying at an orphanage for the mentally disturbed, and currently receives hypnotherapy in an attempt to ease her disturbed mind. How effective this treatment is in erasing her pain, you can find out in the game. Hope I helped shed some light on Madness Returns without giving away too much to ruin the experience! Happy playing
I don't care what the reviews said, I played this game and thought it was AMAZING. I loved the whole idea of a twisted Alice in Wonderland story--it made for beautiful sets and a wonderful mad story; I loved all of the creepy aspects to this game. I've played it 2 more times since then, and I usually never play games more than once. Best game I've played in a while.
+Simpsims Well I couldn't make it past the first obstacle and still haven't. Then again it's because I have a super lagging computer so I blame my underwhelming game play experience on that.
TriggeredGinger The other teaser trailers are not even by the creators themselves. EA just released the other trailers without even looking into what the story is actually about and American McGee was very unhappy with them. They were making it look like Alice is just jumping around like a human killing machine when there's much more to her than that. :s
Both of them are different games in different genres, not even close. I know this is 3 years old comment, but how did you even relate each other in the first place? I would understand comparing a FPS game to another or even a Steampunk game to another Steampunk game in the context of aesthetics, but how in the world are BS:I and Alice related?
Slaanesh the Prince of Pleasure Its kinda hard to pinpoint. But there is something...kinda similar about the two games. Both of them have a kind of "darkness" to them...but they end on relative "high" notes. Both of them of them take something that is touted as "good" or "pure"(Wonderland/Columbia) but shows them in a darker or twisted light. As someone already mentioned, the art style DOES look similar between the two games. Both games have female protagonists who wear blue dresses? I'm sorta grasping. But there are some slight similarities nonetheless.
it is amazing how i love this game not only am i AMAZED that this game is underrated, but the fact how gorgeous, beautiful and dark it is i have listened to the soundtrack over and over from the wonders of the card castle in the sky to vale of tears even to the mysterious and horrifying place of the doll house every bit exciting and beautiful as when i first played it good god let there be a third this game is magnificent to all gamer's please all Alice madness fans support this game to the fullest and check out the new ideas for the sequel let this game RRRRRReturn;)
I am playing video games since the 80s. This is by far the most underrated game ever. The critics back in 2011 should be ashamed (IGN gave it a 65 and Eurogamer a 50).
The song 'Mission' by Beats Antique lines up perfectly with this trailer. play them at the same time with the trailer muted and be relatively surprised.
Faith Hunter I have the game and its great but the only thing I dislike is that the final boss battle was not vary hard and that there weren't really any bosses in the game. Other then that I think the game is great and I would rate the game 7 out of 10. What do you rate it?
Man, the vibes were off the charts with this game. I can remember following it all the way up to launch and the feeling of playing it for the first time is just something I'll never experience again. I miss the old days of gaming
Hello dear EA team , Alice Madness Returns is a really amazing game , but the Beta version from Alice Madness Returns is a lot more BETTER!!! , so please EA allow Spicy Horse to release the Beta version from Alice Madness Returns PLEASE! :) .
This and the original, American McGee's Alice, are two of the most underrated games in the industry. Yes, there are a few bugs that were never worked out, but the art and storyline alone more than make up for them.
This video game looks epic!, love the whole twist on the fairytale, if this the American Mcgee Alice & Madness Returns was made into movies, I reckon they should get either Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch to voice Cheshire Cat, would be quite interesting x
American McGee has started the planing/pre-production of a third alice-game! Join the mailing list on www.americanmcgee.com/alice-3/ and support him on patreon, if you want to help!
Remember the "chinese world" with chinese letters falling from the sky. Remember the half-moon smoking with boat in bottle. So beautiful game .... too.
Please don't get angry about this, but this is not Pewd's channel...If you're going to talk about him, do that in his comments. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bro too, but this isn't the place for a discussion about him. Sorry
Totally agree! I also love how as the game progresses the real world and Wonderland start to blend together until they become indistinguishable. It was a really nice touch. The best part is when you're walking through the asylum in a straightjacket and see all the fucked up shit they did to you when you were there.
Upgraded my PC to play this one (among a many). Needless to say, till now it looks beautiful, awesome and scary at the same time ... definitely a good sequel to the original one (played years ago). This type of games should be made, more and more. Gee who am I kidding... if it ain't Alice, it ain't wonderland...
At least remake the first Alice and Alice Madness Return before Alice Asylum, Dead Space was a successful remake, why can't Alice games get the same treatment? Multiplatform too
You really shouldn't have turned down Alice Asylum, that was not a smart move! Would have loved to play that game❤️💯huge Alice fan❤️ Madness Returns is still one of my all time favorite games to play even to this very day💯
I purchased the original game on DVD in 2000 and loved it until it wasn't updated for newer OS systems... so now I am so pleased its back.. I prefer to play on my laptop or computer instead of the phone so wondered if and where I can purchase a downloadable version or DVD if there is any? Thanks.
She is! Its Alice ALL BY HERSELF versus vermin/scum. I like Alice, she has no friends,people hate her, yet she never gives up in what she is fighting for.
I remember renting this it blockbuster because it was Alice in Wonderland with a knife on the cover. After playing the whole game before returning I was blown away. Blown away because I had never heard of it or knew anyone that had. Long story short they need to remake.
They should really make this into a movie
disney would not allow it
Willow Berry They were planning to, they even completed the script for it. But eventually the project was abandoned and all we got was Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp.
Ikr that would be so awesome.
***** but the film was released in 2010 and this game was released 2011... i'm confused
Ren Brine I meant the first Alice Mcgee Game, which was released back in 2000.
*WE NEED ALICE ASYLUM*
Soon..
YASS
*YAS!! IM STILL WAITING ON ALICE ASYLUM!!*
Help American mcgee!!!!
Tossie. xx we need Alice asylum
It's a shame that games like this are in the shadows of all the shitty games EA puts out
totally agree
+pelipoika same
+Alguien que no conoces dat damn profile pic tho
the last part of the game is in a mini feature animation check on the american mcgee page i think is called Alice in elseworlds
Agree
This game is so underrated. It's a masterpiece imo.
+Robert Szordykowski this is much more accurate to the true madness of what Alice was about IMO
So true
well this one is certainly darker and has a more...interesting perspective on the whole Alice story. I don't know as much about the first one myself but the second follows the principle that because Alice's mind is in shambles, because she's losing her mind, so too is wonderland...because they are one and the same. of course even when being eighteen she hasn't really figured this out yet.
the second one I think is better I played the first too when I was young

+Simpsims lol the reviews say the game is amazing, soooooo
+Simpsims lol the reviews say the game is amazing, soooooo
They really need to make a movie based on this game. Loved the game, really want to see it adapted on the big screen.
They did ! It's called Alice : Otherlands
+Lý Tuyết Nhi
but they only make two vids
agreed
Greeley christina ricci
and i need to play I think , I played the 1st version
"I have not come back looking for a fight."
"Well that's a pity; one's certainly looking for you..."
GAWD, I LOVE THOSE LINES :D
I like how show real gameplay instead of freshly animated things that are just to make the game look neater
game looks so good that there was no need for that lol

This game is a masterpiece . ART is just out of this world and music :| omg
jorje vanelle music 😍😍😍😍😍😍
This still remains my favorite game of all time, it's so dark, sinister, yet at the same time amazingly beautiful
same here sir (y)
perfect description!
I was twelve when I played this game. My parents failed.
I watched Pitch Black, Lost Boys and Kill Bill when I was ten haha
I turned out alright
I was 5.My parents didn't give a shit
I'm gonna play it tomorrow and I'm excited
Ravinaatti lucky ;-;
I played God Of War when I was 8...
People keep going on about how beautiful Bioshock Infinite is...and its true, but Alice: Madness Returns looks way better for me.
Orange Zone it seems like they were made with the same engine because of the art style lol
Both of them are different games in different genres, not even close. I know this is 3 years old comment, but how did you even relate each other in the first place?

Perfect fan of this and BioShock
They both look beautiful. But I have a love for the ocean and marine life so bioshock got me truly
This game is absolute perfection.
it is amazing how i love this game not only am i AMAZED that this game is underrated, but the fact how gorgeous, beautiful and dark it is i have listened to the soundtrack over and over from the wonders of the card castle in the sky to vale of tears even to the mysterious and horrifying place of the doll house every bit exciting and beautiful as when i first played it good god let there be a third this game is magnificent to all gamer's please all Alice madness fans support this game to the fullest and check out the new ideas for the sequel let this game RRRRRReturn;)
KursedCrusader hey i guess EA cant fuck because the games fucked up
Tushei.
Tushei.
I hate y’all for ruining the opportunity of a sequel
Almost Four Years Later, and I love the hell out of this game.
"I've not come back here looking for a fight!" "That's a pity. One's certainly looking for you."
I LOVE THIS GAME!!!
*Alice gets the cake*
Executioner: They don't pay me enough for this shit
Wow this looks intense as hell.
+Petite Chinoise amazing atmosphere and beautifully designed game :)
Was dat supposed to be a pun
It's an amazing game! If you haven't tried it already... You definitely should 👏👏
I am playing video games since the 80s. This is by far the most underrated game ever. The critics back in 2011 should be ashamed (IGN gave it a 65 and Eurogamer a 50).
The song 'Mission' by Beats Antique lines up perfectly with this trailer. play them at the same time with the trailer muted and be relatively surprised.
HOW THE HELL DID YOU KNOW THIS?
I somehow managed to get it right on the first try and my mind is totally blown.....
My brother showed it to me a few years back.
Lol, even the beat and the movements match... Holy crap, man, well done!
I can't get over how much I want to play this game!! ;u;
it's amazing, I always play it. I never get bored of it
***** haha I know how creepy and weird it is! That's why I love this game: it's my style c:
Jacob Murray awesome :D
***** they are pretty awesome lol
I nearly finished it and it's one of the best games I ever played ♥
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EPICCCCCC GAMES THAT I HAVE EVER PLAYED IN MY ENTIRE FCKING LIFE!!!!!!!! *.*
Jun Kazama you should google Alice: Otherlands :)
So true
So true
Bring back this old goodie , nowadays there's no games like this out there.
My favorite game in whole world
Faith Hunter You're right! Both games are awesome :3
Faith Hunter I have the game and its great but the only thing I dislike is that the final boss battle was not vary hard and that there weren't really any bosses in the game. Other then that I think the game is great and I would rate the game 7 out of 10. What do you rate it?
I loved the story too. :)
Its my favorite game too
I just randomly remembered this because once I saw this in the videogame section in Sanborns, like 8 years ago.
I like it, it's.... actually different, these kinds of games are really hard to come by these days!
EA, you will have to answer to God for putting this franchise into limbo
I will never forgive EA for depriving us of Asylum, 13 years later and I still love this game
This game was equally creepy as it was awesome. One of my favourite games ever
cant believe this was 7 years ago, just replaying this from start.
Today is Alice: Madness Returns's 3 year anniversary June 14, 2011- June 14, 2014 :)
EA I HATE YOU FOR NOT ACCEPTING ALICE ASYLUM AND NOT GIVING THE RIGHTS BACK TO AMERICAN MCGEE (I hate you so much💀)
Man, the vibes were off the charts with this game. I can remember following it all the way up to launch and the feeling of playing it for the first time is just something I'll never experience again. I miss the old days of gaming
WHY DID YOU CANCEL ALICE ASYLUM? You know how viral it would’ve gotten with social media marketing these days?
This is not just a game..... THIS is a work of art.
GIVE US ALICE ASYLUM
i think it has been cancelled unluckly
EA and the other copyright holders should really consider remastering old games, they deserve to be played on the newer consoles.
Hello dear EA team , Alice Madness Returns is a really amazing game , but the Beta version from Alice Madness Returns is a lot more BETTER!!! , so please EA allow Spicy Horse to release the Beta version from Alice Madness Returns PLEASE! :) .
does anyone know the music at 1:20-1:30 I thought it would be on the Soundtrack but I can't seem to find it
We Need Alice Asylum. Make Asylum real
Very good trailer for a very good game.
This and the original, American McGee's Alice, are two of the most underrated games in the industry. Yes, there are a few bugs that were never worked out, but the art and storyline alone more than make up for them.
This video game looks epic!, love the whole twist on the fairytale, if this the American Mcgee Alice & Madness Returns was made into movies, I reckon they should get either Tom Hiddleston or Benedict Cumberbatch to voice Cheshire Cat, would be quite interesting x
2020 and still Purrrrrrrrrfect
Lol
“There is no point in driving yourself mad trying to stop yourself going mad. You might just as well give in and
save your sanity for later.”
For anyone who played the original Alice game, will know that this one will be amazing
Ive played the original. It was pretty difficult to complete!
American McGee has started the planing/pre-production of a third alice-game!
Join the mailing list on www.americanmcgee.com/alice-3/ and support him on patreon, if you want to help!
''Let the madness begin'' 1:46 LOOOOOOOOOOL
Just as the cat says : "Purrrrrfect" 1:43 ;)
I dug up some old games and this pops up~
Torrance Singleton The game is amazing. Read the books and its much much better~
This game means a lot to me.
Same yo. We need a third game
Are the Insane Children ready? For the third act of Alice's story will soon be told!
Meet you all in the Asylum...
Remember the "chinese world" with chinese letters falling from the sky. Remember the half-moon smoking with boat in bottle. So beautiful game .... too.
Please don't get angry about this, but this is not Pewd's channel...If you're going to talk about him, do that in his comments. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bro too, but this isn't the place for a discussion about him. Sorry

The best part is when you're walking through the asylum in a straightjacket and see all the fucked up shit they did to you when you were there.
its criminal that EA turned down to make a third one.
Imagine Devil May Cry, mixed with Bayonetta, but with Alice In Wonderland!
Upgraded my PC to play this one (among a many). Needless to say, till now it looks beautiful, awesome and scary at the same time ... definitely a good sequel to the original one (played years ago). This type of games should be made, more and more. Gee who am I kidding... if it ain't Alice, it ain't wonderland...
2021 and still play it
THIS GAME IS BACK ON STEAAAAAAAAAAAM YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WHY WOULDNT YOU TAKE ON ALICE ASYLUM😭😭😭😭😭
think i fell in love with this game..
Reviewers keep talking about this, are we going to get a port everywhere or something?
More than decade this game released . This game help me hard time before 🤗 wanna play it soon
I remember the time when I watched this trailer everyday before getting a copy of the game. Alice is such an amazing game and world.
EA should really make a part 2 of this game. If they do, I'd bet the graphics and visuals would be out of the ordinary
This game is in fact a part 2. If you haven't heard of American McGee's Alice (the first game) I recommend playing it, it's as good as this.
ALICE: ASYLUM DESERVES A CHANCE, YOU MONSTERS!!!!!!
At least remake the first Alice and Alice Madness Return before Alice Asylum, Dead Space was a successful remake, why can't Alice games get the same treatment? Multiplatform too
Does anyone know what the pre order songs were?
It's 2023 and I started playing this recently and it's going to be high on my list for GOTY
WE WANT ALICE ASYLUM
Yeeeeeeeees 🎮
10 years later this game was weird but amazing need a remastered or second game for sure
Our professor asked us ahead of tomorrow's lesson to watch this video and ask ourselves what civilization is. He must have smoked some dope...
Please make Alice Asylum!
Anyone know the name of the music at 1:03?
Is this a movie yet? Please be a movie!
+Madyson Weaver They are working on a mini serie of Alice Madness Called Alice: Otherlands. The released is expecting due end of the year or janury
THE SUPREME Oh. Thanks! (Also, Marina and the Diamonds?)
Madyson Weaver Yess i love her
why u guys said no to alice asylum....
You really shouldn't have turned down Alice Asylum, that was not a smart move! Would have loved to play that game❤️💯huge Alice fan❤️ Madness Returns is still one of my all time favorite games to play even to this very day💯
WHEN WILL THE THIRD GAME BE COMPLETE?!
WHEN ITS COMPLETE, MY LIFE WILL BE COMPLETE!
The "third game" is a movie and it's been fully funded via Kickstarter. Look up Alice: Otherlands.
I've watched it...Its just...I'm so....Ugh!
I can't wait!
Mythic (4 years later) look up american mcgee's channel. he's planning on making another alice game called alice asylum
It's already 2016 and I'm still stuck in the underwater level.
its 2017 and i can't get out of the dollho
use
I purchased the original game on DVD in 2000 and loved it until it wasn't updated for newer OS systems... so now I am so pleased its back.. I prefer to play on my laptop or computer instead of the phone so wondered if and where I can purchase a downloadable version or DVD if there is any? Thanks.
I think the only place to download it right now is through Origin. It's on sale for 5 bucks right now. Just google Alice madness returns origin.
I hate you EA, Alice Asylum got cancelled by your fault.
WE NEED ALICE: ASYLUM!!!!!!!
What's up with the Spicy Horse thing in the beginning?
+LOVE4everSher that's the name of the studio that made the game
This game would be underrated if it was the most famous game in the world.
+Ella M (UltimatelyTroyler) frerard much
Is this game worth to download? Is it that good?
It was a fun memorable journey to go through at least once. A really fun, magical story and atmosphere.
I've watched a play through of this game like its a normal film more than once. Such a compelling story!
Id love a remake with better graphics
We want Alice Asylum EA 😡😡😡!!!
Cheshire is awesome in all damn Alice's adaptations. No exceptions
Love this epic game ^-^ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My favourite game in the universe!!!
I'm talking about Alice Pleasance Liddell. Not my channel or this series alone.
Kids, don't do drugs.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS SHE'S THE GOOD GUY IN THE GAME..?
She is! Its Alice ALL BY HERSELF versus vermin/scum. I like Alice, she has no friends,people hate her, yet she never gives up in what she is fighting for.
Watch Alice mcgee's, she is the 'good guy'.
All these years I missed this. Let's do a next gen sequel/remake
This game resembles my interpretation of mental illness. Thank you.
amo este juego ^^, me lo e pasado unas 15 vezes ya, y no me canso nunca de jugar a este
I remember renting this it blockbuster because it was Alice in Wonderland with a knife on the cover. After playing the whole game before returning I was blown away. Blown away because I had never heard of it or knew anyone that had. Long story short they need to remake.
One of the greatest games I've played
WE WANT ALICE ASYLUMMMMMMMMMMM
