In what sense? Alice, at least the original, was a TPS based on the Quake 3 engine. No silly quicktime events. If you refer to the plot and not the game mechanics, well… it reinterprets a classic “literary” setting (if it doesn’t stretch the point to refer to the corpus of classical Greco-Roman mythology as a literature) — I’m not sure that’s adequate rationale for calling these titles the same game. And let’s not forget that the first Alice antedates the first GOW by five years (2000, 2005).  

The trailer just looked like button mashing combo fighting. Not that it’s a bad thing if it’s done right.

I’m liking the story elements of this sequel so far. Let’s wait and see!
