Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

At first glance at the case for Alice in Wonderland, you would be forgiven for missing the connection between this cartoon-style DS platformer and Tim Burton’s newly released 3D blockbuster film. The reason for this is that despite being a movie tie-in, its developer, Étranges Libellules, has been given the freedom to create its own visual style, and the resulting 2D cel-shaded graphics are pleasingly unique. The gameplay itself is not groundbreaking, but there are some interesting features: you take turns between playing as the WhiteRabbit, Cheshire Cat, Mad Hatter and theCaterpillar (whom Alice then follows), and each has unique abilities, which gives the game variety. Alice in Wonderland is certainly not a difficult game, but young fans of the film won’t be disappointed. Fans of the movie, however, might want to check out the Wii version for a more filmic take on the interactive adventure.
