Madness Returns shares some elements with the original Alice original outing, but don’t think this is a simple sequel. It even ran well on my ageing 3DFX Voodoo 2, which was nice. And it was a damn fine platformer too, packed with excellent artistic design and enjoyable gameplay. Not only was the subject matter rather left field, bringing the literary classic back in an unconventional style, but it was also a platform-heavy game on the PC, quite the rarity. PC gamers from the early 2000s era will, no doubt, remember the surprise hit that was the original Alice. My own personal favourites have to be the darker, downright weird versions, such as the amazing Jan Švankmajer live-action and animated film and, more fittingly here, the original American McGee’s Alice. Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole isn’t your typical, straightforward kid’s fable, and is believed by many to contain all manner of references to dodgy substances and questionable mental states.It’s a tale that’s been told time and time again, in many different ways. Most would agree that the tale of Alice In Wonderland, sugar-frosted Disney animated incarnation aside, is a pretty dark story.
