Alice Info
by Steve Gibson, Aug 26, 1999 5:41pm PDTSome of the first actual information about the EA published Quake3 engine based American McGee produced [Rogue developed - Jack] Alice plot filled game to surface (whew!) has shown up over at GameCenter. Here is what American (who coincidentally is an American citizen) has to say about the game:
It is loosely based on locations and characters from the original fairy tale. We've also added a slew of new characters and locations, and given everything a dark twist. Most of the characters that people are familiar with have been brought back in a new and darker form.
Comments
You are stating your opinion of Sid Meier games. Many people enjoy them, or they wouldn\'t sell as well as they do.
Your other two statements are right on, though.
I think you\'re right, this game has already been too strongly associated with American McGee. But I don\'t think you should read anything into that, certainly not that the man is vain and is going to be a flop. I strongly suspect the EA guys are using his name to get the game going, like #17 suggests.

soo its fitting that the game is twisted as a steven king novel
Think they are gonna make Alice have a nice set of knockers? One can always go the TombRaider route.
