Alice: Madness Returns is 3rd person action game for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

Eleven years ago a fire took Alice's family from her and left her mind traumatized. She was then confined to Rutledge Asylum, where she slipped further into her fantasy world of Wonderland. Then years later, she has finally secured her release--though she still carries the fire's psychological burden.

Unable to return to normalcy, she travels to Wonderland seeking what the real world can't provide: security, knowledge, and the truth about the past. But in her absence, Wonderland too has suffered. A great evil is descending upon what once was her beautiful refuge and it is now up to Alice to save Wonderland, and herself.

Alice: Madness Returns is 3rd person action game that features upgradeable melee weapons, including the Teapot Cannon, the Hobby Horse, and the Vorpal Blade. Along the way, players will encounter familiar but now strange characters, including the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Caterpillar and the Red Queen.

This being Wonderland, there are no rules or boundaries as to what is possible. As such, Alice can obtain abilities such as floating with her dress, shrinking, or growing to enemy-crushing size.

Lastly, mixed in with the action, players can expect a variety of interactive puzzles such as transforming obstacles, musical memories, chess, and picture blocks.

Alice: Madnees Returns will be in stores June 14, 2011 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
