Xbox One · 2011
About this game
The events of Alice: Madness Returns begin where the previous game American McGee's Alice left off: desperately struggling with her own mind, Alice is now in an establishment for children with psychological problems, and memories of her whole family dying in the fire haunt her.
Now another threat - which appears as a giant train - seeks to destroy her Wonderland.

Alice will battle through stages to stop the train and find out its true meaning.
There are five large chapters in Wonderland, each with different themes and different types of enemies.
The gameplay can be described as 50% platform-jumping and 50% hack-and-slash combat.
Unlike the previous game, the emphasis is on fighting with melee weapons, although there are also means (and necessity) to shoot enemies.
Melee attacks are strung together with a vorpal blade (quick attacks) or a toy horse (slower, but more powerful and able to break through enemy defenses), and a pepper grinder or tea cannon is used for ranged attacks.
The grinder has a cooldown time and can also be used to activate switches from a distance.
Alice has a timed bomb as well and can dodge incoming attacks by briefly turning into a cloud of butterflies.
A focus mode can be triggered to keep a specific enemy in view and in this mode Alice can deploy an umbrella to reflect incoming projectiles.
When she is low on health, a monochrome hysteria mode can be triggered where much more damage is dealt and Alice can harvest enemies for health instead of teeth, the main currency left behind by enemies.
For the many platform sections, she can triple jump in the air and glide down.
During her travels, Alice will visit both XIXth century London and imaginary worlds.
One of the novelties of the game is Alice's ability to shrink herself anytime, allowing her to enter small pathways and detect otherwise virtually invisible platforms and objects.
It is also used to receive clues about the next goal.
From time to time, players need to complete various mini-games
About Xbox One
Microsoft's Xbox One launched in 2013 alongside the PS4 and leaned heavily into backwards compatibility and subscription services like Game Pass. Because so many Xbox One owners moved to all-digital libraries, physical Xbox One cartridges — sorry, discs — in good condition are comparatively less common on the secondhand market than their PlayStation equivalents from the same era.
Gamevaro tracks Alice: Madness Returns for Xbox One with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Alice: Madness Returns to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This XONE release dates back to 2011.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Alice: Madness Returns, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Xbox One titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
