5.0 out of 5 stars
beautiful & impressive graphics!, November 15, 2000
This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (Video Game)

I could sum up my entire review with just the above definition. But instead of just trying to be witty, I will present my recommendation with the following favoring observations.
As an Alice memorabilia collector, I eagerly anticipated the release of this game.
I was (am) very impressed with the quality of the graphics. They are not only beautiful and pleasing to the eye - but also crisp and clear. Crafted well enough to not just be considered as computer graphics but also as ART. I would have loved to see this game with John Tenniel illustrations. However Disney did not do too bad of a job. :^) I have not seen a game this pretty in awhile.
The game play itself I found to be a lot of fun. You will find most of your favorite Alice characters in the game, you definitely are not cheated!
The sound is non-irritating and you just may find yourself _not_ turning the volume to mute on your gameboy. That's a first for me :)
Game play for the novice and advanced alike.
Although, it is very much like any other nintendo game - run, jump, duck ala mario bros, for me, I still find that challenging since I am very mediocre in my game playing skills! The first level is so easy that it was silly (mustard? lets not be silly?). Which lulled me into a false hope of perhaps I could easily master a game for once in my life!! Then the second level was more along the lines of turning my game boy on and off several times to start over again with full lives, But still I did not tire of the game or the sound effects.
I found the game to be a stimulating delight to play, pleasing to the senses and challenging (after level one) but not so difficult as to become extremely-throw-the-gameboy-across-the-room-frustrated (but then again I am not even close to finishing this game yet ha ha). For more experienced game players, this game is still worth the money for the beautiful graphics alone, especially if you are an Alice enthusiast.
And after I showed the game to other Alice aficianado friends, they went out and promptly bought it. The graphics are really that stunning!
(and this review is not meant to sound as pretentious as I have managed to create it to be ~oops)

adorably alice, October 28, 2000
This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (Video Game)
this game is so so SO wonderlandy! it's fantastic because it actually follows the book/movies quite a lot- you meet all the fun, kooky characters doing their weirdish things, and you get to do all the alice-y weirdish things, too! you fall down the hole, you eat mushrooms and get huge and tiny, you find keys for different sized doors, you have races and stop for silly parties. the graphics are incredible for the littleness of the gameboy- it has that disney look to it- lots of color and detail. this is my most favorite game... there's just something entirely likeable about it, even when it gets to the more difficult parts (where i'd normally start making "grr" noises) i just sit there smiling through it all. it would make a fantastic gift. and so you know, even though the game might sound like a girls-only type game, my boyfriend and brother have started playing this game as much as their "fighting, monsters, expolsions" games. it's just really, really, reeeeeally fun...

There really is a Wonderland, October 29, 2000
This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (Video Game)
This game was very exciting. It put me right into the adventure of chasing the rabbit. I rate this 5 stars, because it's a great game and I would recommend it to anyone who likes these kind of games. For example. You get to play croquet with the queen, race the rabbit, and spell your name out in smoke with the caterpillar. This was a great game I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do...
