When it comes to movie-based games, I try to get away from them as much as possible due to the fact that most of them suck. The last movie-based title that I played was Toy Story 2 and that was released on the PSOne back in 1999. Sure, I loved it because I was a fan of Buzz Lightyear during those years. Now that I'm in my twenties, I gave myself a try for another Disney movie based game; this time it's Alice in Wonderland.

While it may not be the most in-depth RPG, it’s easily one of the best on the system.
