To be fair, this game has flaws, lots of them. The combat is bad, especially at first when you dont have enough XP to level up your gun accuracy. The graphics are strange, being really high resolution, yet primitive at the same time. Many cant overlook these problems… but here’s the kickerThis game is amazing. The story starts off interestingly enough, but it keeps getting better and better. Your main character is a spy, never before has your dialogue choices felt soooo meaningful. This game puts Bioware games to shame in regards to dialogue and there consequences of your actions. Friends can become enemies, enemies friends! You can talk people into betraying the main bad guy, you can JOIN the main bad guy. Making someone like you, is NOT always the best option, sometimes you might want someone to hate you, to have a personal vendetta against you so he fights you to his last, allowing you to kill him, otherwise he’ll run away.The RPG aspect is also very cool, leveling up hand to hand, stealth, guns, gadgets and technical skills, mechanical skills, and 3 different types of armor you can buy and upgrade giving you 3 unique play style options. You can make your guy super sneaky, give him the top tier sneak armor and level up hand to hand and make him play like… Bat Man, punching and choking people out. OR say eff it, and grab heavy armor, going in loud and proud, only changing your assault strategy to beating them senseless when you want to avoid casualties (my favorite way.
I had my doubts about this game, because of the pro reviews. But it’s a bit older now, and the price is way down, so I picked it up. I gotta say, I’m finding it to be a lot better than I expected.Lows:- Graphics are NOT awesome.- Combat system is hit-and-miss.- Conversations sometimes force unknown reactions.I really like the way Obsidian did the conversation elements in the game, giving you multiple options, and timing you, so that there is a level of tension. It makes it feel like the conversations are at least as important to the game as the action levels, which is as it should be. Unfortunately, frequently the options for replies are vaguely labelled, and occasionally you are forced to choose a response before you even are sure what the question will be. Overall, though, it is great to feel like everything you say to any given person can affect your relationship with them, and ultimately the outcome of the game.Combat controls are clunky, and the shooting is frustrating. That said, I keep in mind that I’m not playing a First Person Shooter, and work around the rough spots as best I can. For example, my first character was spec’d with points in Pistols and Rifles, so for most gunfights I can shoot it out close range or long range. But when I’ve got three or more guys after me at once (FREQUENTLY), it is simpler to just take cover, wait for one to get close, and then take him out hand to hand, and then sprint over to the next guy and do the same. There are a lot of.
Picked this up at gamestop for $4.99 and after doing some reading and watching some youtube videos I figured it was a win/win.I was pleasantly surprised by the voice acting and with the choices you could make in the conversations that would (depending on your stance you take), make you gain or lose repuation with that person. This turns out, can help your mission, or hinder it. It really does make a difference.Gameplay definitely is not the tightest or smoothest and does have some AI flaws (guys getting stuck on corners, glitched through doors or floor, in one case they shot me through 2 walls). But overall it was enjoyable and fun. Doing stealth takedowns was satisfying as you have to watch for the guard patterns and take them down without attracting attention.Considering the current price of this title, for a good amount of fun minus some obvious flaws its worth it.
I’m personally very surprised with the critic reviews of this game. I consider myself a fairly difficult gamer to please to the point of compelling me to complete a game. I found the game enjoyable and the plotline/plot decisions made me look forward to coming back to the game. I didn’t run into any of the technical issues that were cited in nearly every review… yes, there was some texture load, but I feel like it’s in quite a few games and it’s not really something that kills the ambiance. And for the record, yes, the stealth walk looked very silly…
This game released to less than favorable reviews. After playing it, I’m not really sure why. The story has appeal and the characters are likable. The action is somewhat cookie cutter but that is common.I would class it as a game as not being worth a full $60 price tag, at $30 or lower it is a great purchase.
I never bother reviewing anything on here – I was compelled to review this game because I’m stunned at how poorly this was rec’d because of all the supposed “bugs”. Compared to Fallout: New Vegas, well, there is no comparion – I had ONE bug the entire time I played through, and it was immediately after a save point.I’m not a hardcore RPG guy – I love Mass Effect, Fallout, etc., but sometimes I think reviewers confuse those of us who aren’t going to spend 300+ hours on a game and are just looking an engrossing story that’s easy to get into, challenging but not ridiculously so, and makes you think, “Hey, that was a lot of fun and I felt like I was really an integral part of the story.”Alpha Protocol does all those things, and is a steal at this price. The only spy-RPG out there, it’s a game you can play multiple times and still enjoy.
This is a game that has suffered more from poor advertising then poor game play. I found the game very fun and not at all broken. I agree that it gets a little twitchy at parts. However if you go into the game expecting a RPG it is not at all disapointing. I think the reason it has had such bad press is people expected Halo and it is much closer to KOTOR in game play. The RPG elements are great and alow for a great deal of control over skills, looks and personality. I like the timed mini games as they add a element of suspense and hurry to the game intrensic to all good spy movies, i.e. ‘red wire, green wire’. My major problem with the game is that it is to level based giving it a Doom like feel. Also the levels are set out in such a way that you feel like a rat in a maze, your only options are going from point A, to point B. This being said you have a lot of choice in how to get through the maze and your choices will alter later major plot events which leaves you guessing at the consiquensces of your actions throughout. Finally if you are a fan of Call of Duty or Halo this game may not be enjoyable for you it is based to much around RPG tactical skill and not on pure personal ability. If on the otherhand you enjoy complex plot, and Deep RPG elements you may find yourself as addicted to the game as I am. I’m not saying that one is better then the other just that this game requires a strong prefrance for RPG over shooter.
bought this for my son but i have played this before. I found it to be a fun spy game with a choose your path rpg style like Mass Effect or Dragon Age. Story was interesting and although the game mechanics aren’t perfect it is definitely worth playing. I’m not as picky about some of my games as some of the reviewers out there. I don’t look for every bug or collision problems. Unless it is awful and in your face mistakes that can be a game breaker i don’t sweat the small audio error or very minor lag issues. If lag issues were the end all of gaming then every Madden NFL game i’ve played from the very first to Madden 13 should be rated 1 star. But even with the Madden’s Lag issues I, along with millions of others still have fun playing the game. It does seem hypocritical for reviewers like Game Informer to adore the Madden games and give them 8 or 9 stars over and over but a game like this they rank it lower for minor bugs and problems that are dwarfed when compared to Maddens bug list.anyhow, it’s a fun little game with a good story and allows you to be a spy for a couple of days
Protocol is a fun game. I just finished it and i was pleased with the story b/c you get to direct the direction of the conversations, which gives an appeal for a second play through. I will say that some of the boss fights are ridiculous, most notably the crazy russian but overall they are not to bad. The shooting can be a little awkward at times especially if you are moving but they are not near as bad as others have said. The reason I gave it an overall score of 4 is b/c of the graphics which really was kind of disappointing given how long the game was in development but even with this the game is engrossing b/c of the story and twist and turns. If you can get over the game not looking like MGS 4 or Conviction then you will like it. If you are not sure rent it and I think you will see what I mean.
I purchased this game for the Xbox 360 without any idea what to really expect other than a shooter. As a shooter it’s a mediocre game, and there are a lot of better titles out there. As an overall game though, it’s a fun title. The graphics and controls can be a bit clunky, but are still good. The AI is usually decent, but sometimes will have a complete meltdown which can be frustrating or disappointing. The story progression and the characters are excellent. What makes this game is the choices you can make and the results of those actions. Do you try to do X, or save person Y, or try to figure out alternative Z. All of the main characters in the game you can attempt to become friends or enemies with, ally with them or betray them, let them live or kill them (or let them get killed). The RPG elements are a split of perks for performing certain actions or accomplishments, and a selection of skills and specialties to suit your play style. Alpha Protocol is substantially longer game than a normal shooter. The multiple endings are also a nice touch even though they are all lackluster in their execution. Overall I enjoyed this game, and I’m really glad I ended up picking it up. I would suggest giving it a try.

This game had tickled my love for RPGs as well as my love for spy/stealth games. I pretty much had to buy it. It has it’s positives, as well as it’s obvious negatives, but overall it’s a damn fun game I can’t put down. And I will be doing a 2nd playthough.Graphics – 3.5/5 Nothing special here, just your average looking game. The environments look bland, the character models are actually pretty damn good looking up close. But the voices don’t always match up with what they are saying.Sound – 5/5 The voice acting is top notch, one of the key features that helps make a great story better in any game. The background music isn’t too spectacular, but it does the job. The sounds of guns, as well as some of the other sound effects are pretty generic, but don’t distract from the game.Gameplay – 2/5 This is where most people have a problem with this game. The AI is terrible, with enemies getting stuck on corners, and all the things that would normally make this a bad game. The shooting is flawed until you level up, which in theory sounds good, but is poorly excecuted.. There is a bright light at the end of this tunnel however, when you beat the game on recruit you unlock veteran, which grants you a lot more skills right off the bat, thus making the game more enjoyable to a HUGE degree.Story – 5/5 This is where the game shines. Every choice you make results in a differnt game. I don’t want to spoil anything, but sometimes when you make friends with the right people, they wi.

This game is one of the most complete games i’ve played after Mass Effect of course, the only thing that takes away from thegame is the poor graphics but the game play, game IA and story of Alpha Protocol makes up for it, specially when you havean immense variety of choices and endings. Two thumbs up :)

Most people will probably love or hate Alpha Protocol. It’s Obsidian’s first original IP and it has a lot of potential and creativity behind it. Unfortunately while the story-based elements of Alpha Protocol are impressive, the actual gameplay never comes close to matching it.In Alpha Protocol you play agent Michael Thorton. The story is told in a sort of flash-back, flash-forward format. The dialogue is filled with espionage-type details and really draws you in if you’re a fan of spy fiction. You’ll meet some a-typical characters along the way that seem like they’re straight out of Metal Gear. It’s an intriguing mix of real-life seriousness and goofyness and for the most part works in keeping you engaged in the story. The voice-acting is also pretty good for the most part especially when you consider the plot-branching involved in this game (which is the best part of the gameplay).After choosing your professional background and stats you wake up on an operating table and are forced to fight your way through a tutorial level. After some training levels you’re taken to different places around the world and given a selection of missions and handlers which you can choose to complete at your leisure. In fact that’s the best thing about this game: the choices you make. Every choice you make in the game has branching consequences which decides how the game itself plays out. Even your professional background decides some of your dialgoue choices. Not even the Mass Effect games have.

This game is actually enjoyable i bought the other day at game stop for 10 dollars it was very worth it i played this game for hours and hours it was very addicting! The AI is terrible. The music sucks. The game play is most of the time fun. The graphics aren’t that bad. The voice acting is decent most of the time seems like Micheal Thorton has no expression in his voice. The story Is great. The boss battles aren’t that bad but challenging when using martial arts.

Alpha Protocol is a very good game that people judge too harshly. The gameplay is fine. The graphics are fine. The story is great. The music is fine. Despite what people say, the voice acting is not that bad. Not great, but not bad. I loved this game for many reasons. 1.) I love stealth. This is a STEALTH RPG. It isn’t meant to be beaten guns blazing (though you can if you really want to). 2.) I love RPGs. This game allows pretty in-depth skill customization for what it is, and choices you make impact the story and how characters see you. 3.) I found the story very interesting. However, not everything is perfect. Everything could have been improved, but that’s true for any game. The biggest problem I had was the amount of small bugs and glitches that I encountered (bad/slow textures, AI glitches, weird gun-holding glitch), but they were not big enough to take away from the game’s fun, especially because they weren’t frequent. All-in-all, a very good game for its price. If you like stealth and RPGs, this game will be great for you. I’d recommend it.

Alpha Protocol is an RPG/Shooter about a man and his ability to being kind of an ass.You play through, leveling what guns you want to use and what abilities and armor you gain and use to complete the missions. Using context to gain information, weapons and to avoid unnecessary battle.Graphics are good and the game is really fun. Gameplay works well.

Every now and then you get one of those games that shows just how limited a single numeric scale can be for rating a title. For example, picture a game with noticeably unbalanced abilities, frequently encountered gameplay and visual bugs, and an all-around lack of polish. And yet, despite all these flaws, you find an unexpectedly involving game with well-written characters; heroes who make you cheer when they succeed, villians who inspire true hatred in the player, and a world that reacts in a seemingly organic fashion to what you’ve done earlier in the game. What would you rate a game like that? It’s got too many problems to merit a good score, but a bad or average score wouldn’t do it justice either.This is precisely makes Alpha Protocol so hard to rate. An espionage RPG from the developers of Fallout: New Vegas and Knights of the Old Republic II, Alpha Protocol’s creators certainly know how to deliver compelling writing in a medium that so often lacks even the sophistication of a Michael Bay summer blockbuster — and for myself at least, that’s enough to overlook the problems that can appear in the game. Give it a try if you want something different from the Final Fantasies and Elder Scrolls that loom over the genre like the behemoths they are — the ride may be bumpy at times, but it’ll certainly be a unique one.

I would have given it five stars, but we can’t romance the mute, and she’s the only one I really want.

Alpha Protocol is very underrated. A stealth espionage RPG! Now that is awesome… In a gaming world where it is dominated by a first person shooters with little substance (see CoD) Alpha Protocol stands out.Alpha Protocol’s plot is very good. The mechanics are alright. While it doesn’t perfect anything in any one area. It does many this well. Story telling, preparing your gear before your missions, staying at your safehouses, stealth infiltration, even shooting if need be (not its strongest point) decision making similiar to Dragon Age or Mass Effect.Alpha Protocol is definitely worth a pkaythrough. I owned this game when it first came out, and am purchased it again. I highly recommend Alpha Protocol to those fans of Splinter Cell, Metal Gear Solid, Dragon Age and Mass Effect.
