I didn't like it (thought it drug on) but for 5 USD seeing the pretty environments is probably worth it. Did you need a gamepad on PC? I played on XBox 360 and I can't see it being very pleasant without a pad.
Thanks, gonna pick it up as soon as I'm off this lame conference call.

It can be physically painful without a gamepad on PC.

Yes, you definitely want a controller for Alice M:R.

And I may add, I think it is a great game, not a perfect one. Yes it is somewhat repetitive and the enemies are more reskinned than anything. And some camera angles have problems and it is somewhat linear, and the final boss is shit, as it is with final bosses usually. But Boy (or girl) I tell you: the combat Mechanics are so spot on, as I have rarely seen in other games. IMHO if you fail, you feels it's your fault and not the engine's.
So I guess the combat is the deal breaker. Either you love it instantly or you hate the game, because there will only little bit else besides combat. Worth the $15 I paid.

It tries to be Devil May Cry. Doesn't have enough tricky moves and enemy variety for it, but it tries. Even those optional challenge rooms area accounted for.
MR has an Easter egg with dead Raz from Psychonauts.
Platforming is repetitive, though. Upskirt steam vents and hovering platforms make up the majority of the jumping sections. Unique obstacles are few and far between, minigames are uninspired and forgettable (hard not to forget a 5 minute section in a 2 hour chapter).

It does get repetitive and the combat is merely average. I didn't even finish the game, got close to the end but not quite. Still it's WELL worth $5.

And yeah I used a gamepad... I think a gamepad is as essential to PC gaming as a video card and people who refuse to use them for platformers, racing games and other such things BAFFLE me.

Thanks. I've been mulling that one for awhile. under 4 sounds good.

BTW, how do you tell that it's a steam key? The gamefly site says 3rd party download which I ASSUME means it's a steam key but they don't spell it out. Or did you buy it and get a steam key?

I think they've preached that mouse and keyboard is superior for so long, in order to somehow "one-up" the console players, they forget that that has never been 100% the case.

I lost my nerves on Devil May Cry after 3 hours of gameplay on the PS2.

Thanks. I love TotalBiscuits WTF series in general. His 'review' has pretty much sold me certain games (or dodge certain shite ones) in the past :)

"If we reach $50k, then for the first 24hrs of Build a Bundle 2, we’ll discount game and bundle prices by 40%!
BAB2 launches next week."

So, $3,300 needed in 29 hours.

Color me interested about GitS and Blade Runner, totally. What does it have in common with these? You mean the art style or what?

LOL,

Nuuvem is selling TW2 for $9.99. And who would buy TW1 there for $4.99 since it was already sold for this price on GOG?!

You know what would be nice? If GOG released Alice 2 + Alice 1, for $9.99 or $15.

While not technically a deal, Gamersgate has Dead Island GOTY for $20. Good price for everything and hoping either Steam gets it on sale or Gamersgate discounts it for Summer Sale. :)

That review might have just convinced me to buy that...
That's a great deal for that game, the two DLCs when thrown in that cheap are good to have.

No way a non-sale price should be anywhere near that low, IMO.

Why not? Alice is old as hell now. And Alice 2 has been on deep discount so many times it's normal price just ought to be the sale price.
