While they weren’t perfect, the Alice games, created by American McGee, were some of the most inventive and imaginative games of their time. Hell, they still are, considering their amazing visuals, the gorgeous music, and the twisted yet engaging storylines. Now, one fan is petitioning for EA to let American McGee to create a third game. In fact, as of me writing this piece, the petition has nearly 16,000 signatures and is growing steadily.
In an interview with IGN, McGee spoke about his reaction to the petition, stating, “…signing the petition is as good a place to start as any to help our Alice fans at EA make the case that the world is ready for another game.”
McGee continued:
My thinking is that the original Alice was in a group of early 3D games that really showed the world how art and games could intersect to create something really beautiful. It was artistically cutting-edge in that way. Alice is about a subtle mix of action, horror, adventure, puzzles, and story… we almost got it right with the last game. I’d certainly be taking lessons from previous experience to get that mix right with a new game.
As for what style of game that a third Alice would be, McGee wishes that Virtual Reality would be more advanced. “I think Alice would be an amazing showcase for VR,” he says.
Alice Madness Returns Review: It’s Chock Full of Crazy
I’m a big fan of these games, so I’d be all for a 3rd entry into the series. I remember buying the first game the day it came out. When I got the second, I made sure it was the edition that came with a DLC of the original game, which I played first to prepare for the sequel.
What about you readers? Would you want to see a new story for Alice and her adventures in a twisted wonderland?
