Alice was one of the most engrossing environments I'd ever played through -- and the artistic style was downright awesome.
The enemy AI in the game, however, was awful.
I am absolutely excited for this second installment -- even if the AI is just as bad (which I'm hoping it won't!)
On a side-note...I'm STILL searching for the old ads / ad campaign for the first game ... the dark poems and illustrations in magazines, etc, were awesome. One had the Alice and the Mad Hatter at opposite ends of the long tea-table, Alice holding a knife under the table, the Hatter with a gun. Awesome stuff, and I miss it! Needless to say, haven't been able to track them down.
Anyone have some leads on that by chance, or have the old magazines they can scan from that time period?
PS - I think I still have my game box in storage somewhere, too -- great stuff.
