Can You Play Alice Madness Returns On Windows 10

by

Backward Compatibility lets gamers on the Xbox One play plenty of titles that were made for the Xbox 360, all without paying for the game again if you already own it. While you can’t just pop any Xbox 360 disc into your Xbox One and get into the action, the list of games in the program keeps on growing, with plenty of great games coming in regularly.

The latest of those releases just so happens to be Alice: Madness Returns, the sequel to 2000’s American McGee’s Alice. It’s a brutal hybrid of action and horror, offering an incredibly dark take on Lewis Carroll’s original tale.

American McGee’s Alice behaves very curiously when installed on a Windows 10 machine. When you try to install it, the games installer seems to skip over several files during the installation process. We suspect this issue is to do with the games outdated copy protection, though we’ve never seen a title behave quite like this before. Alice 3 is the newest installment of the Alice programming language. It has all of the features that have made Alice an exciting and creative first programming experience with an added emphasis on object-oriented concepts.

You can find Alice: Madness Returns in the Xbox Marketplace for $19.99 here. You can also snag a physical copy on Amazon, but they’re slightly more expensive, with the price hovering around $25 at the time of writing. Either way, both versions will work on your Xbox One – simply check the Ready to Install section in My Games & Apps if you own it digitally, or insert the disc into your Xbox One if you own it physically. It’s worth noting that physical Xbox 360 games will need to be completely downloaded to work on your Xbox One due to how Backward Compatibility works, so make sure you have all the data you need if you’re stuck dealing with a strict cap.

There's a method to the madness

Play Alice Madness Returns Free

This is the sequel to the first game in the series of American McGee's Alice. The series is developed by EA, yes, you read that right. EA has made an out of the box game in the past, crazy right. Alice: Madness Returns is a game idea I thought I would never see, taking a beloved animated kids’ film like Alice in Wonderland and changed it into a very dark psychological hack and slashhorror game. The studio owned by EA; Spicy House is actually meant to be in the process of making a sequel to this game.

More games should do this!

Alice: Madness Returns is set after the original game but is still set in the Wonderland. It starts with Alice having a hallucination because of the traumatic death of her family due to a fire. The hallucination gets worse until she wakes up back in a familiar world to her wonderland. Although it’s not as she remembers. Wonderland has been corrupted by something, not of Wonderland called Infernal Train which has been destroying the land. After finding this out she sets out on a journey to stop the corruption of Wonderland and find out more about her patchy past.

The graphics are from the Unreal Engine but are the Unreal 3 before 4 was a thing. The game doesn’t look as good as some modern games, most likely due to the engine being behind modern games but that’s more to the date of release of the game than a problem. The way the game has been converted from a 2D kids cartoon movie to a fully animated 3D hack and slash, the horror-inspired video game had to be a hard thing to do and they’ve managed to pull it off pretty well. I hope that they get their hands on maybe more kids cartoons and turn them into 18+ nightmare versions of themselves as to its just a concept that hasn’t been explored in video games except for this game. Also, they do all-time in films so why not make kids' stories into horror games...

How could it possibly get any madder?

The gameplay of Alice: Madness Returns is a classic hack and slash reminds me a bit of Lollipop chainsaw but without the humour element to it and focusing more on the horror aspect in this game. As it dives into the madness of Alice through the game, you fight different enemies like the Lost Souls’ and the Drowned Sailor. If the name of the enemies doesn’t tell that this game isn’t a horror game and your main weapon is a kitchen knife. That’s probably one of the scariest things in the kitchen people! Even the shrinking potion has been used from the film, making it into a mechanic which grants you an ability to sneak. The game takes everything from the cartoon movie and turns into something dark and mad.
