Its creator, the wondrously named American McGee, is a man whose status in the industry was forged as a high-profile member of the id Software teams that defined first-person shooters as we know them – McGee was a leading light on the Doom games plus Quake and Quake II. It is actually a sequel, to the only previous Lewis Carroll-based game with any credibility, American McGee's Alice, although the original came out in 2000.
Salvation, though, may be at hand, in the shape of Alice: Madness Returns, a game in which you get to navigate Alice through the pitfalls of Wonderland.Īlice: Madness Returns has a great pedigree, as well as an unusual provenance. But it played things far too safe to satisfy true Wonderland aficionados – surprisingly, given Burton's surreal track record. Last year's Tim Burton film saw her reclaim her position at the centre stage of pop culture, and introduced her to a new generation.
Astonishingly, it is nearly a century and a half since Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland first enthralled the general public with its hallucinatory charms, yet Alice's allure remains undimmed.
