Is this game a "shooter" and if so, how difficult is it ?? I was given it this week. An old two disk "Sold Out" release. It's in excellent condition but a manual wasn't included. Thanks for any advice

This is one of my favorite all-time games. I think it is considered a psychological horror action game. As Alice you carry a knife called the vorpal blade and pick up other weapons along the way like demon dice. You also will have a deck of cards you throw at the card guards to kill them and other cool weapons. Some parts can be quite difficult such as the boss fights with the Jabberwock and the Duchess. You might try watching this gameplay video to see if it is something you would like. The Cheshire Cat is worth playing the game alone! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHxid6jQQN8oldbroad is right in that there is quite a bit of jumping and platformy gameplay.
Once again, weeds are my life!

This is a great game! Takes a while to get used to the controls, but so much fun.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Is this game a "shooter" and if so, how difficult is it ??
I was given it this week. An old two disk "Sold Out" release. It's in excellent condition but a manual wasn't included. I wouldn't call it a "shooter" but it definitely has action. I've always considered it an "action/adventure" like Tomb Raider. The action is more difficult than the very first Tomb Raider from 1996, but IMO less difficult than any of the other Tomb Raiders. There is quite a lot of exploration and the locations are interesting. One of my favorite places is the one where you jump on the mushrooms in order to jump higher. I played Alice years ago using a "god mode" cheat. That was around the time the games was first released (2000). I believe these are the cheats I used... I'm quoting all of them, though I only used the "god mode" cheat. Various Cheats Enable the console in Options, then press ~ and type any of the following "Codes": Code.........Effect go...........God Mode On/Off wuss.........All Weapons noclip..........No Clipping On/Off health.......... # Set Health to # (100 is full) notarget........Invisibility give all........All Weapons and Ammo map (mapname)....Jump to (mapname)(below) cg_cameradist -45.......First Person View cg_cameradist 128.......Normal View fps 0/1.....Display Frame Rate Toggle (0 = off, 1 = on) give (item name)........*Get (item name)(below)

Speaking of the Vorpal Blade, here's Baltimore Knife and Sword at it again making a beautiful recreation of said blade from the second in the Alice series, Madness Returns: Man at Arms: The Vorpal Blade I know this is somewhat off topic, but thought the fans of Alice might enjoy it
I feel a lot more like I do now, then when I first got here

Sorry I'm only just able to get back here - but thanks for all the input I'm useless at Tomb Raider type games However, as it was a gift, I might just give this one a go, using the God Mode info that YOU provided, Jenny100 Looking at stuff on You Tube stirred up a very, very vague memory of my actually having tried Alice before - many, many years ago. At which time (without a God Mode) I have no doubt at all that I would have given up rather quickly !!

Once you come over the pond and help me pull weeds and spread mulch in all my flower beds, I'll get right to it!
