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)

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...

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...

This game was really fun. I think it had a lot of challenging parts to it. The one thing i really hate about it is that it is sooooooooooooo short! I got the thing at 5 o'clock last night, played it for 2 hours went to bed, played it the next day after school for 1 hour and boom! there you have it. i feel i didn't get my 32.91 dollars for it.

i loved this game it is so fun it wasnt very hard it is good for begginners it is also very short. it has all the characters in the movie and it is just like it thats why i loved this game and the music sets the mood this is the best game but beware it is really short.

I thought the game was very fun. Even though it was very short, it was still pretty good. I like it because it looks so much like the movie. I especially like the part when you use Bill the lizard with a ladder. You even get to play croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Buy it, it's fun!

I found, as an "Alice in Wonderland" lover, that this was full of all the adventure and fun you have while watching the film. You are actually able to interact with the characters and play in Wonderland as Alice. Though difficult at times, this game can never be considered boring. Buy it today. Don't hesitate, before they are no longer available. You won't be sorry.

I was super happy to find my childhood favorite gameboy game, it plays great there's a lot of levels so you get your moneys worth.

If we take a look back at the old GBC games, this one hasn't been spoken of much. In fact, I didn't even know it existed until I did a random search for Alice in Wonderland items! Well, I decided to buy the game to add to my Alice in Wonderland collection. Never did I expect to find enjoyment from it! It's no Zelda or Pokemon, but it has an aspect that makes me think or an old school Mario game, except with a new edge. It's not hard, but it is a challenge if you want to do more than just complete a level. I haven't had too many chances to play, but in comparison to some games I've seen way back when I can honestly say I enjoy the style. If you're a Mario fan I would highly suggest picking this up, it's a nice time-killer and it's not nerve killing. Simple to understand and enjoy.

This is a pretty decent adaptation of the classic Disney movie. This game is definitely geared towards kids, as it is simple and not very lengthy, but older fans should enjoy Alice as well. I personally have always enjoyed the Disney-based games, and Alice In Wonderland was one of my favorite Disney movies. I thought the puzzles were fun to solve, and talking to the Wonderland inhabitants was a treat. I actually had just finished playing American McGee's Alice on the computer, and felt like something a bit cheerier, and it accomplished that. If you're an adult, and don't care for Alice, than you probably won't get a whole lot out of this game. Since the game plays out almost exactly as the movie, you almost have to be a fan to enjoy it.

I was rather impressed by the graphics, though. It wasn't strictly a side scroller...some levels you got to move Alice in all directions (up, down, left, right). I thought the characters looked really good, as well. The cut scenes looked almost as good as the movie, and for only being 8-bit, I think the makers did a great job with the characters, scenery, and animation. Of course, with technology today, I guess this only makes sense, but some Gameboy Color games aren't very impressive in my in my opinion. Often I find the faces on the characters average, if not below average. But the graphics on Alice are clear, and well designed.

If you're a Disney or an Alice fan, I would recommend this game. It was well-made, and the plot follows the movie well, so it's definitely a good choice for fans. I particulary enjoyed the music, which even though it was just the old-fashioned Midi-like sound, I enjoyed hearing some of my favorite songs from the film. All in all, Alice In Wonderland is a great game for kids and fans, and if you don't fit into the category, you should probably shop for another game.
