	Four Fat Chicks -- American McGee’s Alice Review
		American McGee's stated goal of having a "great story" is the least accomplished of his objectives.
		American McGee's Alice is a fine game but not an outstanding product when appraised in overall terms, and particularly from an adventure gamer's vantage point.
		However, with McGee's willingness to be generic with gameplay and story, we are ultimately let down by excessive and pointless jumping, poor combat, and a rather empty, noninteractive narrative.

		American previously worked with ex-Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna on the soundtrack to American McGee's Alice.
		American McGee - Their immediate understanding of the eccentricities of creating music specifically for games combined with the fact that our composer (Geoff) perfectly nailed the sound I was listening for made the decision very easy for us.
		American McGee - I don't think that film soundtracks (cinematic scores) have done very well at retail with the exception of a few oddities like Vangelis' Blade Runner score, I would imagine the problem with game scores is the same: middle American isn't that interested in scores.
