Alice in Wonderland unlike ever before

A little under nine years ago, a man by the name of American McGee released a nightmarish twist of the classic Alice in Wonderland fairytale that would change the way people looked at little Alice forevermore. Nine years later, Electronic Arts has announced that it plans to bring Alice out of hibernation and back to that so-called Wonderland once again. As if the company eyeing a 2009 release date isn't good enough, Alice's new misadventure will be multiplatform to boot.

Below we've included the trailer which was first used to market the original Alice back in 2000. On top of that, we've also thrown in some concept art for the game. It goes without saying that you can expect this adventure to feature upgraded visuals and, more than likely, a better game engine.

    This is a strange coincidence..I read the other day that there will be a new Alice in Wonderland movie staring the girl who played Shannon in LOST..this new game must be based on the movie:

     

    It's called Malice in Wonderland..

    I bought this game a long time ago but I never finished it because my machine at the time was so messed up it wouldn't run any games properly. This gives me more incitive to go back and finish it now that I have a reliable PC.

    I can't wait to play a McGee Alice game on a console, PS3 or 360.  I really liked the PC game but I am not a big fan of playing a game on a PC, even with a controller it just doesn't feel the same.  I know there are some people who prefer a PC version over a console version (Bioshock for example) but I am the complete opposite.  This should be a fantastic game.

    This is a little bit creepy, I literally JUST started re-playing American McGee's Alice on my PC about 3 or 4 days ago. I love that game. This new version looks quite similar to the original release, just with improved graphics and it seems to delve a little more into the asylum and history post her original journey into Wonderland. I can't wait :-D

    American McGee's Alice was an awesome game (conceptually). I can't wait to see how they twist Wonderland this time. They'd also better bring back the Cheshire Cat, he was sweet.

    This game looks wickly crazy.  If I had a computer that would have ran it back in the day I would have purchased it.  But as always I like to keep my mad gaming to my gaming system.  The PS3.  So I may have to pick this up.

    You should keep in mind that Disney did NOT create Alice in Wonderland and actually made the kid movie based on a much darker themed novel

    Too bad EA is handling it. That's the only thing keeping me from getting it.

    HOLY SCHNITZEL POPPER THIS GAME LOOKS RUBISH !!!!! LOOKS LIKE CRAPPY GAMING TO ME I DNT THINK IT'LL EVEN BE IN THE LEAGUE OF THE CRASH TALES.

     

    HOW CAN YOU USE AN INOCENT CHILDS TALE TO CREATE A GAME FILLED WILL DEATH, BLOOD AND GORE.

     

    MY OPINION TOTALLY OUT OF ORDER WONT GO FAR

    So you mean it's "unlike ever before" ...except for the last time it was.

     

    Anyway it's not like the original was perfectly kid friendly. I mean crazy people trying to cut your head off, drinking things that make you halucinate. Fairytales were originally morality lessons for frightening children into doing the right thing so unless she's running around in discriminantly blowing holes in rabbits with a shot gun it's not really so odd.

    Wow Never really heard of the first game but that Tralier makes me want to play it now. I like the sick twist on the story from my childhood.
