DS User Reviews

This game is inherently good. For anyone looking to pick it up they would pleasantly surprised. The Music is just such a wonderful score and is so thematic to the game, it actually enhanced the experience for me. The sound effect quality is lack luster. The graphics are very stylistic, the game runs well and looks and feels stylish. It suffers for me personally with gameplay and controls. The game controls almost solely through the DS's touch screen and I just don’t know why they had to go that route. It just makes playing it feel like a chore. And the game itself is essentially one long escort quest which… do people like that?.. If there are people that are into that 2D-platformer & escort style gameplay they would be very surprised with this movie tie in game. One feature that stuck out a bit to me was that you can place reminders on the mini-map to help yourself when going back to explore, very cool. And the overworld map works like a jigsaw puzzle that you jump between and connect the pieces to, to swap levels. There are some other unique mechanics that are in the game, for example the starting character you play as (that's right you play as multiple characters as the game progresses, able to swap them as needed) he is able to manipulate time to get through obstacles. It is not the game for me, but I know the people that like this style and gameplay would love this.

Alice in Wonderland is easily one of the hidden gems for the DS. It is an interesting platformer with many innovative puzzles, and not to say the least bosses. The controls have a perfect learning curve with just enough challenge, but still possible to master. The graphical style of the game is very good as well. There is a bit of comic relief too so as to make the story not come in the way of your experience.
