Alice Approaches
by Steve Gibson, Dec 01, 2000 8:31am PSTAlice has gone gold just recently and should be showing up on shelves shortly. That also means that we should be getting a playable demo of the game in the very near future. Really looking forward to seeing how this one turned out, it sure looks wacky enough. Ok ok here is the new hands-on from the GameSpotUK folks.
The gameplay is, within the first four levels played so far, simplistic, if not easy - based as it is on a combination of exploration and acrobatics that will be familiar to fans of Ms Croft. The choice of weapons is imaginative but difficult to get used to because each is suited to very limited circumstances with little crossover. If the gameplay itself isn't groundbreaking the rewards so far have been worth it.

Obviously you'll know if you like the game or not by the 3rd level or so. Good developers need and deserve the money that they charge for their games.

graphics: cool, weird (fricking small levels, but quick loading)
sounds: cool, spooky, a little somple (since it's the same main melody all the time)
controls = all right, woulda loved 1st person! like the tomb raider 'hanging on the edge' feature though (especially since there are quite a couple of juping puzzles)
gameplay: wellwellwell. this is the core of the game, but is OH so weird! alice in wonderland. WEIRD, freaky persons/objects.
weapons: suck (just got unlimited knifes and some playing cards)
enemies: stupid, like the feature that they leave some health when it dies that you can pick up -> but maybe makes it a little too easy
am i gonna buy the game?
hmmmmm, i don't know yet.
there've been MANY games i will buy / have bought in the recent time (NOLF, THPS2, gunman...), but this game is just weird.
i dunno the original alice in wonderland story (too long ago), but i don't know if you could understand the game without knowing that.
we'll see...

And her bunghole in Buckingham palace.
