£7.99 is a lot easier to explain than £39.99 especially with November's releases coming up. Not sure what I'm going to do at this point.Frankster said:Yar, Alice Madness returns comes with the prequel for free, that is the best way to go
Where is that deal still running? Origin was doing it as a promo, but it ended last Friday.Frankster said:Yar, Alice Madness returns comes with the prequel for free, that is the best way to go
It's not a deal, it's a code that comes with the box itself (so any new game comes with it), trust I certainly wasn't expecting it when I bought itAris Khandr said:Where is that deal still running?

Considering that the game is a decade old and that 3D platformers tend to age horribly, I wouldn't say it's that bad...DustyDrB said:
Well if Alice Madness Returns is getting harsh reviews despite its platforming being god tier, I tremble to know how original Alice would fare under the same scrutiny, only thing I see that it has done better then the sequel is that...the ending is happier? xDAetherWolf said:
I'm fairly sure it's physical copies/consoles only alas. *checks steam version* Yeh, steam version doesn't come with it I'm afraid :|Bananajoy said:
The normal uk price should be 29.99£ in most placesAinsley Bartlett said:
That's an understatement. I haven't played the new console port, but the original was nearly unplayably bad. The visual design was amazing, and it was a ton of fun to just wander through the levels to see how they re-envisioned the characters, but the platforming was painful at best, and the combat was tedious. After the first couple levels I just turned on god mode to avoid having to reload, and after another couple levels I ended up also setting up a macro to toggle noclip on and off so I could skip some of the worse jumping sections. It's a great world to wander around in and look at stuff, but it's a pretty crappy game.DustyDrB said:
Then the sequel should be straight up your alley Nalgas, it's platforming and combat are spot on and Alice now controls like a dream ^^Nalgas D. Lemur said:
I'm glad to hear it, this game totally deserves every good PR and sale it can getBananajoy said:Ah, well, if they think that this minor setback will stop me from buying this game then THEY ARE WRONG! >
Err...I grew up almost only playing 3D platformers, and I'd say most of the ones I played on the N64 still hold up (at least gameplay-wise). This is based on my time with the original on the 360, though. I never played the original on PC (3D platformers on the PC just seems strange to me). I don't know what changes were made, but I figured the view of a console player would be more helpful than a PC player (since he's on the PS3). You have to do a lot of aiming in the original, and the controls for that on consoles are very hard to pin down. I can tell that part of the game was just meant for mouse control.AetherWolf said:
That's based on the 360, actually. I'm gonna go back and finish it, but right now I want the better experience (which is Madness Returns).Ainsley Bartlett said:
Yeah, I've been hearing that those parts of the game are much, much better than in the original, so I'll probably check it out at some point when I can actually afford to. It sounds like it still has some issues of its own, but it's hard for me not to like the things it does right.Frankster said:
