And if so please tell me what yout think about it.

It's one of my favorite games, and I've always wanted to hear other people's opinons regarding the way the feel towards the game.

I loved the style of the game, but I couldn't finish it - the levels were just too long for their own good and the game didn't offer enough variety to make those lengthy levels more interesting.

I wish they polished it up and perhaps had a bigger budget, LOVED the art, the story, the gameplay, however level design expecially near the end was...boring to say the least and poorly thought out, I enjoyed the first Alice Madness alot more back in the day.

I was actually wondering the same thing the other day, I mean I remember when it first came out it didn't receive the best reviews, but things always get rated along the unspoken reasoning of whether it's worth $60 or not, but now that it's only $20 or less I figure maybe there's a chance it might actually be decent for its price.

I liked it a lot, despite it being too long and repetitive it's fun and the art design is great.

It's a great game. I love it. I haven't gotten around to beating it yet but that's simply because I jump around from game to game. But man the art direction of that game is worth it alone

It was really grindy which was a bit disappointing, but it was still fun. I'm still surprised that EA put out a bigger budget game like that when it was as original and weird as it was.

I really enjoyed it for the most part. I loved the atmosphere, environments, and artstyle, and the storytelling was interesting. The one big turn off to me was the repetitious puzzles and platforming. The game literally has you going through the exact same challenges from beginning to finish. The minigames broke up the monotony a tad but they were pretty lame for the most part. It's a good game but with some more creative level design it could have been so much more.

I went a little more in depth in a blog post here (you're gonna have to scroll down because I talk about other games as well) - http://www.gamespot.com/users/Master_ShakeXXX/show_blog_entry.php?topic_id=m-100-25974689

I quite enjoyed the game, the story fairly took on a very dark turn close to the end with a justified ending to it that ends on a cliff hanger. It was a refreshing game, still is.

Some fantastic ideas, great weapons, enemy design, art, music etc. Some levels a little too long but otherwise it's a truly under rated game imo.

I didn't like it.

I wanted to, but for me the gameplay felt repetitive and bland. While the levels looked great, they dragged on and on and it seemed every few feet i had to do the same little puzzles from beginning to end with very little variation (use bomb to weigh down plate, use pepper grinder to shoot target, again and again and again) and some enemies you just fight over an over again to the point where combat gets bland.

Now the design is top notch, the whole 'freaky wonderland' thing is great and there are some fantastically creepy sections. It's got the design downpat, but the gameplay just wasn't for me.

I had a really good time with the game. Enjoyed the combat especially, and the platforming was usually fun. Though sometimes it got a bit frustrating. And of course the fantastical nature of the environments always kept it interesting.

^ It was cool reading all of your opinions on the game :D

Even though alice madness returns is one of my favorite games, I will admit it's not perfect, far from perfect really; the levels, while beautiful, stretch out way too long at times (the underwater chapter especially). If only the levels were shorter and the gamplay was a bit more innovative this game would of been perfect.

But I think what keeps me coming back and playing it every once in a while is all that art. I literally crave it at times; it's so beautiful and hauning.

What would you guys rate alice madness returns out of a 10?

Me, I would probably go with either a 7.5/8.0

I would give it an 8. It had it's flaws, but then no game is perfect. I felt the game was a tad short and ended too soon, but it was quite the game while it lasted.

It was a great game with an overly long ending. The last stage/world of the game (not the final boss) was incredibly dull and way too tedious. I thought that every other world had a great visual design, and while the dolls were creepy to start with it just became a chore, imo. This was also around the time the gameplay started to wear thin on me, because I enjoyed it but you continue doing the same thing over and over.

I rated it a 7.5 on my review here.
