'''American McGee's Alice''' is a [[Third Person Shooter]] [[computer game]] released on [[October 6]], [[2000]]. It was developed by [[Rogue Entertainment]] and published, distributed and marketed by [[Electronic Arts]]. It was [[game designer|designed]] by [[American McGee]], and featured music composed by former Nine Inch Nails member [[Chris Vrenna]]. The game is powered by the [[Quake III Arenaengine]] engine, and has been rated [[Entertainment Software Rating Board|M]] for Mature.

Set years after ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|Alice in Wonderland]]'' and ''[[Through the Looking-Glass]]'', ''Alice'' features an older, more cynical and macabre incarnation of [[Alice (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)|Alice]]. Having been [[psychiatric hospital|institutionalised]] after losing her parents in a fire, Alice is called by the [[White Rabbit]] to the aid of a radically altered [[Wonderland]], under threat from the [[Red Queen]], the evil [[despot]] who has enslaved its people. A fierce and rather emaciated [[Cheshire cat]] is her constant companion throughout the game. Though she starts with nothing more than a rusty [[vorpal]] knife, Alice can collect various weapons throughout the game, including a deck of razor-sharp [[playing cards]], a massive [[blunderbuss]], and a [[flamingo]] in the form of a [[croquet]] mallet, complete with [[hedgehog]]s for balls.
