Review of Alice in Wonderland for iPod Touch


Alice in the wonderland is a very special childhood story.This
is actually a game based on a very old story that has been
through the mind of Tim Burton. I'm sure you are familiar with
Tim Burton, the director of Batman, Edward Scissorhands, and
Beetlejuice, just to name a few. If you know anything about Tim
Burton then you know he is a very innovative director that tends
to see things in a much bigger, sometimes much scarier way.
Alice in Wonderland is no different. The game has a creepy, yet
playful vibe that keeps you locked into the game play.Alice in Wonderland is a 2D role playing puzzler. You play the
role as a teenage Alice back in Wonderland. The problem is that
Alice doesn't remember much about Wonderland and Wonderland
doesn't really remember her. Since Alice has been gone, the Red
Queen has risen to power and is ruling with an iron hand.I have been playing AiW for two days now, about 2 hours a day
(on and off) and I am still on the first section. So don't think
this game will be a quick play. It has hours of continuous
gameplay. You control Alice by touching on screen arrows. This
is also the way to make Alice jump. A quick note: when you do
make Alice jump she does not jump straight up, she jumps
whichever way she is facing. As you meet new characters;
including the White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, the March Hare, and
the Mad Hatter, Alice will get access to their special powers.
These powers consist of moving objects, making objects disappear
and reappear, freezing objects, and moving object to and from
the mirror world. Each of these powers will be needed to pass
certain levels. You will use these powers continuously
throughout each level. You might have to freeze a block and then
move it so you can jump over a waterfall. Only certain objects
can be used by each power. You will be able to tell because
those object with be covered by colored ivy that will match a
power.The graphics are nothing short of what you would expect from
Disney, crystal clear and vibrantly colored. The audio is also
right on par with a Disney project. The creators did a great job
using music that fits the feel of a creepy but fun video game.
The sound FX are well done for the most part. You will hear (and
probably get tired of) a magical sound effect every time you use
another character's power. This gets a little overbearing since
you use the powers all of the time.Alice in Wonderland is a fun http://gamesnconsoles.com full of twists and
turns. The gameplay is challenging but straight forward. I don't
think this would be a game for young kids, not because of the
creepiness, but because the puzzles do take some trouble
shooting. As a bonus there are a bunch of included riddles and
geo-location options that unlock objects you would find in
Wonderland. This is a solid RPG and I recommend checking this
game out. At $4.99 it is a bit pricey, but with its hours of
enjoyable http://gamesnconsoles.com game play it is
worth it.
