Basically a mini-movie with games throughout, this Wii offering has both good and bad qualities.

The game is very plot-driven. Based on the new Alice in Wonderland movie by Tim Burton, the story revolves around Alice, who once again tumbles down the rabbit hole 10 years after she does as a child. In the interim Wonderland has been plundered by the Red Queen and her evil minion the Jabberwocky. Alice helps the Underland Underground Resistance -- including the Cheshire Cat, the Dormouse, the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the White Rabbit -- fight to save Wonderland. Game players help Alice battle the Red Queen's forces and find the famous Vorpal Sword.

Each Underland character gives players a special ability: The Cheshire Cat turns you invisible or makes objects appear or disappear, the Dormouse gives you sword skills and makes you lightning quick, the Mad Hatter lets you create optical illusions by lining up objects, the March Hare lets you use your mind to throw objects, and the White Rabbit lets you alter time or slow your enemies.

Options include setting the SFX, music and voice volume; turning subtitles on or off; choosing the game language (English, French or Spanish); and changing the camera axis. You can choose whether to play alone or with a friend.

Pros: The story is interesting and creative, and there are lots of levels of play.

Cons: The play is pretty basic fighting for the most part. You travel through Alice's adventures, stopping occasionally to fight off the bad guys. Visuals are odd and distracting, with awkwardly rendered 3-D objects and figures. The colors used are not pleasing to look at, gaudy and laser-like, with little subtlety. It's hard to understand what the characters say, so it's good there are subtitles you can turn on. Overall the game isn't up to the standards of other Wii offerings.

I got this game for my GF and she loves it. I watched her play it for several hours and found myself addicted to it by just watching. I love these style of games in general and this version on the Wii is most excellent. The graphics are solid, the voice over's by the actual actors are great, the controls are fluent and the story and game play is top notch. A great game for fans and gamers looking for a cool adventure game.

I was really excited to hear this movie was coming out. Even more when I saw there was a Wii game for it too! I was hooked after 10 minutes! I got it before the movie came out too since I pre-ordered. I played it every day after work for like 3 weeks. The game follows along with the movie story line. Each different character you encounter along the way has their own ability which is really cool. They help you earn things through out the game as well as advance in the game. You fight against the Red Queen's army most of the game. I found myself stuck only once because my Wii decided to freak out on me but that had nothing to how with the actual game. I love this game and have recommended it to people. If you liked the movie you should defiantly get the game. You won't be disappointed.

This is a fun game that compliments the new movie. I just started play and am impressed by the graphics and gameplay. It can be a little hard for some players, but is still a very fun game. If you are looking forward to the new movie then you will want to buy or rent this game.

Hi Fellow Wii owners/players;

I have not seen this movie yet though!!! My hubby,Bear,bought this brand new,for me at Gamestop game store."Alice in Wonderland" -game was great. I can't say ;"stupendous",but great all around. It is a quest type game. You have puzzles you need to figure out.Use of Wii remote controller & nunchuk,are great! Not just sitting there,clicking away.You need to use motion movements a lot :-}.Battle scenes that you will learn quickly how to advance in this game.Storyline is kooky,fits theme for original movie Walt Disney made. The graphics are great,I compare to all my Wii games--not my PS3 system games,as they are in a category of their own.If you don't play this type of game often~then you will thoroughly enjoy this game,and it may be quite challenging to you.Each person has their own skill levels for each category of games.what may seem simple to me,may not to be simple to another player. The skill level of the quest/puzzles is about a ranking of 1 to 10,I give it skill level 6.5 ranking. Only because some of it was way to easy to figure out for me.The battle scenes,were great,too.Graphics well done! Not once did I freeze up,or see a glitch{sometimes when a game has lots details of movement/battle scenes they tend to glitch/freeze up/delay}. I seem to be increasing my skills in these types of games. I refer to myself as a semi-pro level-not hardcore yet,one day I will see myself as hardcore gamer :-} I am a late bloomer in gaming,but sooo hooked on Wii & PS3 games.I do play these games until I solve/finish them. I don't play any games in between them.When I finish a game,then I play games that are not quest,but easy to pick up where I left off,and no notes need to be made-games downloaded from Wii store or bought games.I'm trying to say,when I play games like:Zelda series-{Demon Hunter-Dragon Age are waiting for me to play them}-they take a lot of time to complete them.But because I am hooked on these types of games,I seem to pick up on other games,to figure out things quicker.It's how I based my rating on my game skills.This was a great play! was a great game to play,and I will replay this again in future no problem.I did complete it it almost 100%,I have some chests out there I completely missed.I won't say how I know I missed them,don't want to spoil it for anyone.So, if you like fun,great battle scenes,puzzles,storyline-this is a game for you! I can't compare it to the movie release ,as I have not seen it yet.I rarely go to movie theaters,always someone tall,or wearing something I can't see around.I wait for them to come out,go to blockbuster,and rent them.

****I NEVER use game guide books~nor go to game sites for cheats.I buy a game/or gifted to me,I go to their site to register it.Then I do get emails/updates on them.Mostly my PS3 games,I do go to chats to talk about it with others,as they are in a category on their own.You need to seek assistance at times on that system.Just trying to help you understand my review.****

I'm A tad nervous,as I am disabled,and I do tend to babble on-sure you have noticed.BUT-good side of being disabled,is,I have time to play long quest games~days-weeks-hours after hours at a time.I have woken up in my game chair countless times heh heh heh...fun part of being a gamer I think.

The Graphics are amazing, this games developers have done a terrific job of exploring Wii's capabilities. The difficulty level has hit bulls-eye: not so easy as to make it boring, neither so hard to make it a torture. The misions are interestingly different one from another, the upgrades make the game more fun. The game story is very similar to the movie story, but it still leaves the player curious to know what will come next(I didn't play, this game was for my daughter).Our only complaint about this game is the orientation solutions, or lack of a better orientation, specially the upgrade spots, which were hard to find sometimes.

Overall, it's fun game and we reccommend it!

This game was very fun. Different than I expected but in a good way. Its shorter than I wanted to be, but it still allows you to explore and find everything even after beating all the bosses. It is better and easier as a two player game, but if you like the challenge go for the single player. Only problem with two player is if you both aren't in the right location the camera view can become hard to work with and you may not be able to see what you need to. The graphics are really great. Overall a great game.
