Alice a video game for young kids

Here we are again talking about Alice in Wonderland, the fantastic movie by Tim Burton

But now, I'm here to let you know my opinion about Nintendo DS game Alice for young kids (7 years old, primary school). 

Features: In the role of the White Rabbit, the Cherishe Cat or the Mad Hatter's, the player must save Alice, threatened at any time by the Red Queen.

Each character that you play uses his special power to change the game: the Rabbit can speed up forward or accelerate time, the caterpillars Absolum stretches to reach inaccessible places.

Alice is a target that must not give an inch, or she will be taken by a Vortex or hit by a slap from a giant flower. Because, if we let Alice alone too long or standing still, she tends to be spotted or vanish.

The game: the path you take to browse wonderland is full of bad guys, obstacles and puzzles to solve. 

Do not expect a game of intense reflection. Every action you make is almost suggested by a subtitle. It's entertaining... for kids, don't forget! Not for adults.

Some negative points: The dialogues are, sometimes, very long. The game is on flash-drive wich requires an adjustment period.

Visual side: While the design of the Wii version is highly developed, that of the DS is much more simplistic.


Very dark graphics throughout with touches of color, typically "Burton",  and validated by Tim Burton himself. The landscapes are gothic, sometimes psychedelic. A sure choice of the creators, but it works very well!






A fun game, designed especialy for children. A special mention to the originality of the graphism. 

Distributor: Disney Interactive Studios

The DS game is available since 2 March 2010
