Gameplay
Summarize
Perspective
Wii version
Alice in Wonderland allows players to guide, protect and aid Alice as she journeys through the world of Wonderland while unraveling the game's many twisted mysteries. Along the way, players call on a diverse and unique cast of characters such as the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat who each have unique abilities to help evade traps and solve challenging puzzles. The Mad Hatter can help Alice alter her perception of Wonderland and take advantage of optical illusions to open up places in the world the player alone would not have noticed. Meanwhile, the Cheshire Cat can use his ability to make himself and objects appear and disappear helping Alice through this strange world. Players must choose wisely when using each of the characters' powers and combine the abilities to solve more complex puzzles.
DS version

The DS version of the game is quite different from the Wii and PC. It is highly stylized, some characters have different abilities and it is a side-scroller. Absolem is also a playable character where in the other versions he is a NPC. Again the players must guide Alice though Wonderland to eventually face the Jabberwocky.

It noted some of the game's puzzle mechanics and "variety" as good points, while repetitive combat, bad voice acting, visual unevenness, and poor multiplayer were bad points.[16] In comparison, the DS version of the game fared well, earning an 8.5 out of 10 or "Great" rating. For the DS, GameSpot criticized the combat and the occasional experience of not knowing what to do next, but praised the "visual direction", puzzles, characterization, humor, cleverness, and DSi features.[15]
