American McGee’s Alice Coming To The New Alice: Madness Returns

Perhaps you’re interested in playing the new fantasy adventure Alice: Madness Returns, but have never enjoyed the 11-year-old PC original. Worry not, for it appears that the first game, American McGee’s Alice is coming to consoles as a downloadable game as well.

So says American McGee of American McGee’s Alice fame, who tells CVG that a major incentive for purchasing Madness Returns is the original game.

To blockquote McGee:

“There’s also going to be pretty significant release which is the original Alice brought over to the consoles so that a person who’s purchased Madness Returns gets a download code and is able to bring Alice 1 onto their console and play through the entire original game alongside playing Madness Returns.”

Looks like Mr McGee may have let that cat out of the bag a bit early. Still, if the man’s right, that’s a nice little bonus.

    So if I buy 2 I get 1 free? I’m confuddled…

    I can finally play this game! Been waiting since it first came out. My GF at the time let me try it at her place and I couldn’t get the hang of the keyboard controls.

    Should go that one step further and cover the full target audience spectrum… Re-release the PC version.

    Surprised it hasn’t popped up on GOG yet, actually.

      You still can buy it, it’s under a budget label in Australia, pretty easy to find if you scour the game bins.

        Really? I got it on a budget label about 8 years ago but I’ve never seen it since….

        Great news though, can’t wait for this game.

    This is awesome news.
    I bought the first game on PC for about $10, but for some reason, I rarely get very far in PC games.
