This game right here is pure art. The dialogues seem like poetry. The soundtrack is impeccable. I really wish more people knew about the songs that played during the game. They featured throughout a considerable part of my childhood.
Not only the music shines in this game: the story goes hard too. It's much deeper than any Alice in Wonderland adaptation I've seen ever, either in movies, cartoons, games, anything. Tim Burton's movies don't get EVEN HAVE A CHANCE when comparing those to the quality and complexity of the plot from this game, how it was written, compiled, ambiented. And then, to be just like the cherry on top, they added twisted OTHERWORLD-LIKE ELEMENTS to the game, which are tied to (guess what?) PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMAS... and tons of it. If there was a parallel between this and Silent Hill 2, I'd say American McGee's Alice tells a story that might be similar (more than I ever thought before) to Angela's.
To wrap it up, American McGee's Alice is an very well crafted game, I must say, as I still consider it superior to the second one (Madness Returns) on so many levels, and so to everything else Alice-related that was created by other people after this game was launched, until this very day.
