Watching this knowing that Alice: Asylum recently was revealed as canceled is painful. As a drill in my heart.

I wish there were more gothic games like this 😔 Realistic graphics is killing art direction

Man I wanted to cry when EA shut down Alice 3.

This game was such an aesthetic... I fucking love it

You’re telling me an American fried this McGee?

Words cannot describe how much how I want a remake of the original Alice, I need it to be exposed to the modern audience, I love Alice, it deserves to be recognized more as a franchise, it was literally the baseline inspiration for my Webnovel yet none of the people who read Shimmering Star know about Alice which makes me sad cause it deserves every ounce of attention.

Alice is such a underloved gem. When I first got to the jaborwock I knew it blew my mind as a kid. Really up 3 gets made.

I cannot explain in words how obsessed with this game I was. To this day, the scenes and lines aware burned into my brain. I was OBSESSED with the Cheshire Cat. I had a screensaver that was Cheshire popping up and down and it scared the shut out of me but I still loved it. I’m 34 now, but I was a kid when this came out and I played it over and over again. I LOVED the little case book that came with it and I literally still have it. I’ve been following American for years waiting for the new one to be released and of course it was just freaking canceled by EA 😭😭😭😭😭😭

such a huge part of childhood. i really wish American could get some better funding to keep making more games.

Every time I see the game cover for American McGee’s first Alice game I can hear the song ‘Bad Trash’ by Switchblade Symphony playing in my head. Awesome song awesome game!

Jesus, I feel bad for this developer. I can see where the inspiration came from and I love it

This was such a genius idea. Easily one of the best adaptations/interpretations of anything in any media.

American Mcgee's Alice is still my favourite game. And always will be. RIP Asylum. The only thing im looking forward to with this game series is a group of modders creating dreamland for AMA. And any other hidden gem of content.

I like the part where EA put out a good game for once.

38:22 Wow cool fact about the singer being involved! I didn't know this fact. Forever live American Mcgee's Alice, the best 3rd person game ever.

The voice acting is pretty good for 2000s game

I remember being in middle school and I borrowed the CD rom from a friend. I didn’t know how to play PC games. Didn’t even know there were pc games. Didn’t have internet back then. Knew about Alice in wonderland, but never watched it. I never really got scared of the horror aesthetic. It’s actually one of the things that brought me into wanting to play it more. I don’t remember most of the games, but I remember the mad hatter, jabberwocky, and the maze like queens courtyard. I was too young to care about the store, even if I did. It would just go over my head. I will say this, after watching this, it made me realize how much this game affected my taste growing up. I’m looking forward to replaying this. I will say as well, I couldn’t get into madness returns. I’ll have to retry though.

One of the greatest video games to ever exist! I didn't get to play it until after Madness Returns and OH MY GO! did AMA blow me away. The story, the art design, the characters, the gameplay I love everything about it. I even bought a physical copy so if I can ever find a new computer with a disc drive i'm able to play it on PC as I can at least play it on Xbox 360 any time I want. I also bought the soundtrack on CD. No other video game has had a soundtrack where I love every song and am unable to skip over any of them.

God bless, S tier video for an S tier game *chefs kiss*

I really hope we get an ending. I adore this series so much. 😭

And now I'm going to be living my emo kid wishes of playing alice madness returns 😎

Oh wow, the beginning of the game and its story has a similar aesthetic to Fran Bow. I can see why it was popular back then knowing about the Fran Bow game myself.

I have a half sleeve tattoo of American McGee Alice inspired art, loving this!

So, my dad told me to play this game, thinking I would like it, well, I didn’t get very far in and I quite for about two years. Then I saw a KZfaq video about it and it made me want to play it again and I’m so much further. It’s truly gained a spot in my heart and I really want my friends and such to know about it

Yes keep up the focus on American and his wonderful game! We are trying to get ea to sell over the rights for a new one!!

I’d love a remastering of the series And a sequel

i always just thought that it was a cool game with cool aesthetics but revisiting the writing holy crap my jaw is on the floor

It was such a creative concept with beautiful artwork. What a shame the game didn't get the recognition it deserved.

Omg, you showed my favorite parts of songs 😂 which I think are masterpiece, btw, I wondered who was singing there too, it reminded me of some animelike voice, also that ending part in school daze where you can hear a slow heart beating is just 👌❤😢

I got the game around release, beat it, loved it, and never touched it again until 2024. I went back through it again on a whim expecting to have my nostalgia glasses shattered, but I actually liked it even more than my first time playing. My original playthrough was on PC and my most recent playthrough was on 360. Despite playing a WORSE looking version the second time around, I was still struck by how well it holds up. I can't believe it looks as good as it does on 360. I also remember agreeing back when it came out with the popular criticism that it kind of drags longer than it needs to at times, but replaying it I really didn't feel that. It's a nice solid length. It's repetitive in some ways, but in a way that I find kind of cozy. There is enough variety to stop the repetition from feeling boring to me. It's really a shame we won't ever get to see Asylum...

It’s thanks to ALICE that games like little nightmares succeeded which is why I’m so annoyed at EA

I remember wanting the original alice then found out it was only on PC. I never had a gaming pc so when madness returns came out and it had the original I was estatic.

Omg this series has been on my radar for a while i really need to try it (if only you were able to buy the first game digitally)

My all time favorite game

Alice, Silent Hill, Dir En Grey, From First to Last, horror and metal in general, and a fellow music creator...we should be friends lol. Subscribed my guy. Loving the content.

We deserve more games like American McGee's Alice. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a fantasy game that ISN'T a D&D knock-off?

I KNEW WAS MEANT TO BE A MOVIER, BUT DIDNT KNOW IT WAS GONNA BE BY WES CRAVEN, WE WERE ROBBED

Why couldn’t EA port the first to games on Switch and other modern consoles.

Hmm, There Were Talk About DLC For Alice Asylum If I had to make those as Extra Stories. One Would Be that Lizzie, Alice's Sister, has Survived, But As A ghost of sorts. She Can't Effect The Real world On her own, But Can Manifest In Other People's Dream Worlds Causing all sorts Of Random Trouble, Lizzie,as A Character, would Be Completely Different from Her Sister. Where Alice Was Mostly Serious and Stern, Lizzie would be more Playful with the Characters she Interacts with, Because of the Trauma with What Dr Bumby did to Lizzie, Her personality Would be in this Morphed state to Grasp Affection and And act More Childish as Travels through Each Person's Mind. An In The End, Gets Closure by meeting Alice or something. The Second DLC Story Is where Alice, Trying to Learn her wonderland Powers, Accidentally Brings a friend To Wonderland. Having to work together to get the friend out, or meet a date worse than Death. Third and Final Story Based DLC, would Either Be An Episodic Journey of how Alice Met all the Kids from The Ending of Alice Asylum. Or an Adventure with Those Kids Dealing with Alice's Wonderland that's Somehow Been Leaking into The Real World.

YEEEEEES

I loved this series i really hope the 3rd one comes out.

Imagine a remake of this game with a RE Shadow of Rose engine!!!

I didn't know who this man was till John the secular hivemind, the one who will supercede all other technology Carmac hired him on to ID. I adored his maps in Doom 1 and 2. Never got to play this series, but now I'm definitely going to.

epitome

Only got to play it when it came bundled with the second game on ps3. Even all the clunkiness made worse by playing with a ps3 controller, which was bad on most games because that thing is tiny and my hands are big, it was still a very enjoyable experience.

2:12 I think this is one of the few videos that praise it. For such a masterpiece that it is, which it is, the community left over seems kind of small after Asylum was canceled.

I'm waiting for America Mcgee ,I know he's gonna watch this video

How can i play the first game

This game is great but for some reason my save got corrupted and couldnt load it but will have to start it again

What’s the background music at 25:38 ?

i already let's played both American Mcgee's Alice, and Madness returns. EA is nothing but a rat, a maggot, a tiny insignificant sack of trash! American Mcgee's work is immortalized and it keeps gaining fans day and night, they also removed the "interactive story book" as for Asylum, it needs resources. but i have faith in American that he'll ACE it.

38:27 Jessica Adams!!!

me likey likey Mr.Televison

Это мы смотрим. :3

While the remequel gets a lot of love, the original is underrated as heck.

what is the name of the background music at 25:41 ?

no shot thats his ACTUAL name

Anyone know how to play this game in this year?

Gothic

You don't mind if I share this to discord?

Vampire the masquerade bloodlines?

John C. Wins

I have the madness returns on my Xbox (360 backward compatible) and there is a copy of the original included within that game. I didn't really rate it The sequel is great though!

"being edgy" is a niche, not an insult, and it has its own fans, whoever keeps insulting others calling them "edgy" is very fragile they are edge-less. and they are but shattered glass!

First

i feel like you glossed over significant gameplay issues in your video, its fair to say the story, writing, and visuals were fantastic, and it still be fair to say the gameplay needs a lot of work and thankfully arent significant enough to overshadow what the game has to offer, the platforming in this platforming game was not platforming at all, and janky physics made it near impossible to use certain weapons in some situations, some levels lacked conveyance, and thank god quick save and quick load were included in the game

Having recently played Alice, I honestly was mostly disappointed with the soundtrack, I don't really get why people are calling it as good as it is. I don't think it's bad by any stretch, it fits the game, but people have been hyping it up as "one of the best soundtracks ever" but none of these tracks are tracks I would put on Spotify for instance, whereas Alice Madness Returns tracks I would Overall it's still a good game, with its 23 year old jank. The mirror world was the most frustrating level for me, having to replay it 10 times over due to the stupid enemies that blow you in the pool in one of the rooms that instantly kills you (pretty much)

im playing mcgees alice right now and its not a good game in any way, bad controls, bad level design, bad combat, annoying puzzles

Alice is a nice game. Not perfect, but filled with great atmosphere. Tge music is haunting and whimsical.

Love how you say yt will demonetize this but there’s an ad every 2 minutes
