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.
Alpha Protocol was defintely under-rated by the big “Video Game Review” companies.I found this game more than just fun, it was exciting, intense, and found myself wanting to rush home so I could play it. Story and game play wise there is not much I have to complain about, all the controls work properly, the aiming system is a bit different at first, but you quickly adjust to it. The story is amazing, while there are one or two cheesy spy lines and dailogue most of the story is intense and what I really like that the developers did with the dialogue is that it is not stopped like Mass Effect or Dragon Age when you want to think about what you want to say. Alpha Protocol gives you a timer and you have to choose quickly what you want to say in the situation, which makes the game much more intense and makes you think on your feet, unlike having 2 or 3 minutes to anaylize what you are going to do in some games.The perks in the game are also unique in that you do not get to choose most of them, they are given to you by how you play and what you decide to do. I thought this was a great idea as it leveled up what I wanted my character to be and kept the game moving instead of me agnozing for 10 minutes about what perk I wanted.The story begins in a pretty normal spy setting and you start your training in 3 departments espionage, firearms, and gadgets. In each department you meet characters that will play later in the story Mina, Alan Parker, and Darcy.Some of them will be your handle.
I followed Alpha Protocol through its development cycle with some interest, but when the brutal 50% and 60% professional reviews came in, I stayed away. Turns out I had been doing this wonderful game a disservice. I found the controls and mechanics to be tight, noticed few bugs, and can’t fault either the combat, stealth, or cover mechanics as many have. It may suffer a bit in comparison to third-person shooters like Gears, but that’s not really a fair comparison to make. I’m not sure what led everyone to be so hostile, but it was truly undeserved.If Alpha Protocol has a weakness, it’s the dev team’s almost slavish adherence to the Mass Effect formula. They clearly used that successful BioWare series as a template, even anticipating some changes that would be introduced in its sequel. But I found the experience distinctive enough to be enjoyable on its own terms, even if its overall storyline isn’t as noteworthy. The character interaction in particular is well-handled, with lots of weighty choices made with memorable and interesting faces, even if they’re in service of an old hat Halliburton-is-evil plot.The bottom line? Pick up a copy if you enjoy sophisticated western-style RPG’s, and you won’t be disappointed.
Always loved this game worth getting only downside is it should at least have an in game plus mode cause it’s one of those games that once you reach the end then that’s it no more :(
This really is an excellent game, if you give it a chance you might find yourself playing through it 3 or 4 times to see all the ways the story can play out. It had excellent story, a lot of different paths you can take (kind of like choose your own adventure), and the main missions don’t even have to be done in a certain order, which in itself the order you play the missions can change some elements of the story.The problem with this game is that they start you out as very poorly skilled character, so the shooting and combat seems really clunky and crappy. When I first started playing this game I was tempted to just quit because I thought the quality was bad. However, all you have to do is level up your combat and shooting skills a bit over a couple of hours, and it’s a perfectly fine shooter game for another 30+ hours. Other people I got to play this game (and not quit after the first hour) had the exact same opinion as me.Great game, but they made a huge mistake making playability poor until you level up. I think that design flaw led to so many bad reviews.
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.
The game has its flaws. Personally, I found the stealth element far more engaging than any stealth action game I’ve played before, and I’ve played a couple of the Splinter Cell games, and Assassin’s Creed. You have to think quickly, respond to your surroundings, and use your skills strategically. The character sheet has a great deal of depth, and I think this game system would translate very nicely to PnP or a sequel.The loot and the gear you can buy seem balanced pretty well.While the plot has its problems from a strictly critical viewpoint, there are plenty of surprising twists, and a fair share of intrigue, not to mention the remarkable range of choices you have in many parts of the game. You cannot skip any dialogue or movie sequences, however I find myself rarely wanting to, even after playing through for the second or third time on a mission. The real time dialogue works really well. The system of influence on characters is fun and intuitive, although I wish it came into play more often and had a little more development. The dialogue is well done in performance and writing, at least insofar as it keeps my attention pretty well. Overall it holds my attention quite well, even when I’m being irked.The save system uses checkpoints. This doesn’t combine very well with a combat system that, while generally pretty unique and fun, has definite irritating qualities. I frequently needed to reload on normal after making some major or minor error, forcing me to go back to.
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.
Great service and great product…
Thanks!

When I first heard that Obsidian (Knights of the Old Republic II: Sith Lords) was teaming up with Sega to create the first-ever espionage, I was genuinely excited about the prospect. Two years of waiting later, and over a day and a half of playing, I am reasonably satisfied with Alpha Protocol albeit with some moderate concerns.Story:The story is definitely on par with anything Robert Ludlum ever wrote. You are Edward Thornton, a recently recruited spy to stop terrorists from blowing stuff up. Along the way you encounter beautiful dames, evil bad guys, double agents, friends turned bad, deception, drama, blah, blah, blah. Very contemporary and fairly compelling as one would expect from a spy game. Wanna know more? Play the game!Game Play:When I researched and read about Alpha Protocol, two games struck me as strikingly similar in nature and would be the basis for comparison: Splinter Cell and Mass Effect. One for it’s stealthy nature and the other for it’s strikingly similar game play respectively. While playing through Alpha Protocol with a neutral observer (a poor soul unfortunate enough to venture to my place for a free beer and ended up having to watch me play for a few hours) we found ourselves consistently comparing Alpha Protocol to the two games mentioned.The game centers around three basic mindsets of spy game play; professional, suave, and aggressive or Jason Bourne, James Bond, and Jack Bauer respectively (my apologies if you get none of the spy pop culture.

When Alpha Protocol first made its way into the Previews section of several video-game sites/magazines, I was excited. Developer Obsidian proved itself a worthy weaver of tales, and this looked very much like a third-person Deus Ex with a Mass Effect-style conversation system. While that is an impossible expectation to live up to, I really don’t think it’s worthy of the panning it’s received from some people. Alpha Protocol is a good game that I enjoyed playing through — staying engrossed throughout.The Good:- The story is decent. It’s got a typical spy style overall, but the real quality comes in its branches. Depending on what you do and to whom, it goes off in different directions. And not just one or two; whole people will either become your best buddies or dead. I like the feeling that I’m causing all this to happen.- RPG elements are always welcome. You’re constantly improving a variety of skills. I was able to tweak my character to be the stealthy melee expert who’s good with a pistol that I always try to be in games.- Non-linear missions work. This was one of the best parts of Deus Ex (my #1 game of all time), and AP does a good job with this. You can infiltrate silently or guns-blazing, and either could work. I’m personally a completionist — finding every item and dispatching ever guard. I could do that fine in AP.The Bad:- It’s not the prettiest game. I didn’t find the graphics as bad as some reviews, but this definitely didn’t knock my socks off. There are also a.

This is the first espionage game I bought and I love it. The gameplay is good and the weapons are too. The graphics are surprisingly good as well for an old game is not that bad Overral this game gets a 10.

For those who enjoyed the nonlinearity and combat/stealth/hacking elements of games like System Shock and Deus Ex, this game will be right up your alley.If you like the decision-making and dialogue options of Mass Effect, this game will also be up your alley.If bugs, lack of polish and AI issues scare you and/or turn you off completely, then do not get this game.If you can accept a game that needed another 6 months of work but is still playable in it’s rough and unpolished form, then get this game. It’s unique, has a lot of options, and though the storyline is lackluster, the way the story bends around your decisions is very impressive.

Another example of a great game that got looked over. No its not perfect, It has its little faults but the only con i had with it was the AI could have been better but then again I’ve seen much worse AI.Here’s the deal, your a agent for a super secret branch for the US, The nearest thing i would call you as a more aggressive Sam Fisher type or at least that’s the vibe i got from the character.You travel to places around the world trying to uncover the truth after getting set up to take the fall for a job. What really makes the game is the story and the decisions you make, your constantly trying to figure out what every factions agenda is and everyone has a hidden agenda and fun part is trying to weed them out and find the truth and clear your name. You do this by your decisions in your conversations and finding evidence while sneaking around or going in all Rambo.The conversations you have with factions and their leaders is a thing to behold, I wish every game of this type would use this method because everything you say really matters, Say the wrong thing to the wrong person can lead to learning nothing or everything so it didn’t take long to learn to save before going out to meet someone for a talk.You also can have love interests in the game with different girls if you play your cards right. (you can look up on the net how to romance each woman). There has been a lot of talk about romancing the mute on forums as most do find her a cute little thing, The reason you cant is.

This game caught my interest about a month or so before it’s release and based on the generic descriptions in the previews, I was already on board. A modern day, spy centered RPG by the same designers of Knights of the Old Republic 2? (One of my favorite RPGs ever in terms of character and story depth.) Sign me up.Then about a week before release, the reviews started rolling in. Horrible graphics they said, glitches that render the game almost unplayable they said, frustrating control scheme. Almost everything that could be wrong with a game was listed as being wrong with this game, and obviously I was disheartened.I eventually passed on this game during launch day and started looking for the next great RPG, which had me waiting for Fallout New Vegas basically, but after a week or so of waiting, I came across an Alpha Protocol review here.The reviewer, another RPG fan like myself, pointed out that reviews from “mainstream” game sites like IGN and Gamespot, are often not only biased, but different features weigh more heavily to them then to the average gamer. For example, games with “amazing graphics”, like God of War III tend to end up with high scores no matter how dull, short and repetitive the rest of the game happens to be. Yet on the other hand, things like depth and plot don’t seem to count for anything in the mainstream game critic world.I also get the feeling that certain games are given artificially good scores based on how much hype is surrounding that particular ga.

There’s no doubt that the reason you play this game is because the thought of a “SPY RPG” sounds pleasing to the ear. If you want an A-list action game please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.What I like about it–In depth story-Your decisions really affect the story-Likeable characters-Definitely a multi-play-through game-Can’t beat the price of this game. I felt guilty I spent less than 12 bucks on itWhat I didn’t like–Dopey AI-Glitchy graphics-Not as much customization for the main agent you play asLike I said the reason you play this game is for the story. This game will definitely put the choices you make into considerable effect. There’s a lot of freedom in the choices which will lead to different outcomes. This ain’t the type of game that has different choices which lead to the same unisnspired outcome, treating your choices as if they never really made a difference. There’s a real ripple-effect that goes on with your decisions. Enjoy!

If you aren’t a patient person, this game is not for you. Now, that’s not to say the game is slow, because it’s not. But there are true flaws in this game that you need to accept before you can really enjoy this game. So let me lay it out:The Good:-Strong story, with characters that feel real (within reason, I’m looking at you, SIE. And you, Brayko). The story is complex, and actually makes you think.-The gameplay mechanics wise, is pretty bad. Glitching, clipping, getting stuck in floors or in walls, the cover system…but what I mean is the way it works in terms of the story. What the gameplay does do is make most situations very tense, and make you wonder might be happening next. AND, unlike a game I liken this to (Mass Effect), I loved the ability to be able to play through using stealth. The option is always on the table, and I liked that.-Your choices matter. Now, your choices matter in Mass Effect, but nowhere near the way they matter in Alpha Protocol. And I’m glad AP didn’t limit the types of choices you get to make. Because there are a number of big choices you get to make, along with more simple ones. The one drawback to this system is the conversation system. Sometimes the choices they give you aren’t clear. For instance, at the end, one of the choices is “Betrayal.” What does that mean? Am I going to betray someone? Or am I going to talk about being betrayed? Along with that drawback is is the timer. It’s both good and bad. It adds a dynamic feel to conversations.
