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.
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.
Great service and great product…
Thanks!
This is a great RPG for anyone with half a brain. It’s a shame that it has been trashed so hard by people thinking it needs to play like Call of Duty or some other garbage FPS. Gameplay can be clunky as others have said but all the RPG elements are what keep this game addicting. I put off buying this for so long because of all the terrible reviews. They’re all nonsense. If I put more stock in reviews I probably would’ve never played Vampire Masquerade: Bloodlines, which is one of my favorite games of all time.
A lot of people have given Alpha Protocol a bad rap. True, it has some issues, but the game is endlessly fascinating. I have played it through 5 times, and each time, I have gotten a different outcome. Many games advertise that the ending depends on your choices as you play the character. Alpha Protocol does this better than any other game I have played, better than KOTOR, better than Mass Effect 2. Events are sensitive to every nuance… not only to who likes you, and who doesn’t, who has died and who has not, but also to each verbal choice. Sometimes, you don’t see the effect of a single sentence. uttered early on in the game, until the endgame. The key to replaying this game is to play each run-through differently, because if you do, you will get different information, different options, and different outcomes as the game progresses. I am working on my sixth run-through right now, and I am looking forward to finding out what will happen this time. Be sure to listen the the newscast that plays while the credits roll at the end of the game; it describes the political effects of all your efforts during that game.
im going to mnake this relatively short so here goes…all the reviews saying this game is an rpg and not a shooter are the ones that really matter. i think too many people wanted to compare this game to some mindless (in my eyes anyway) shooter. it is not a shooter and no, it doesnt have the gameplay level of a shooter. this game is a unique rpg experience that PLAYS like a SHOOTER. in a gaming landscape where the next game is just the same old cookie cutter game just being retitled and hyped up it is nice to see someone try something pretty fresh. the story was pretty good and the graphics are not nearly as bad as everyone makes them out to be. sure, the game isnt perfect but im a very picky gamer and i found this game to be quite enjoyable. if youre a big fps shooter fan who is obsessed with graphics you wont like this game. however, if youre an rpg fan who is tired of the same ol thing this game is for you.

Don’t believe all the naysayers, i’ve been a gamer for many years and this game was great.

Playing through Alpha Protocol is frustrating. Not because of the issues the game has – of which there is plenty – but rather it’s frustrating because you’re playing something that you know should be better than this. Earlier this year, 2 games came out which also had some real lack of polish and iffy design decisions but they were games that I put in quite a bit of time into anyway: those being Nier and Deadly Premonition. Those 2 and including Alpha Protocol are games where half of your brain is completely criticizing nearly every facet of what it has from the graphics to the AI to the unrefined gameplay and yet the other half keeps playing regardless and you’re left wondering how’s that possible with a game this flawed. Of course the game did have its share of problems from the delays to Sega apparently saying it wasn’t “RPG enough” yet the game, which was supposed to come out in October, was delayed till the very beginning of June so that’s roughly 8 months or so for polishing so makes you wonder if the game needed more time or if Sega interfered too much. Let me say now that this is a very hard game to recommend since you’ll either be like me and can see yourself doing a 2nd playthrough just for the hell of it and the others will be like “I can’t even finish it, it’s so bad”.Story: The story centers on Michael Thorton, an agent in Alpha Protocol, one of those secret spy organizations that gets the job done without the official acknowledgment or help from the US governmen.

Excellent game from my favorite developer. Like all Obsidian games, it does have a few bugs, but nothing I found to be game breaking.

gameplay- 8-10 takes some getting use to. its by the numbers. your stats are incredibly important. stick to what you want to do. you only get like 20 or 21 levels i believe. once your figure out how to work the system and your into the kotor/mass effect kinda thing you should dig it. miny games can kill but are necessary. bad AI at times. dated cover system that take some getting use to.graphics- 8-10 nothing special. dated but pretty solid.sound- 9-10 i really thought the music was good and the other sound effect were pretty good as well. no real complaints.story- 10-10 every little thing you do has a ripple effect. such a deep story to follow. brilliant. it really kept me hooked and i want to play again and again to see the other outcomes. theres a recruit and veteran for more story and new challenges.features- 9-10 lots of customizing. dressing for situations. outfitting. deep. but not too deep.achievements- 9-10 if you into this kind of rpg than you’ll be happy to hear you have to play it multiple time to get all the achievements.overall- 9-10 could have been the best game ever. but fell short. if you get past the flaws and like deep rpgs where the numbers count for everything. this is it. personally i was very skeptical of this game. i refused to preorder and wanted to wait for the price to drop. but i couldn’t wait. and it was well worth it in my mind.

I love, love, LOVE this game. I cannot stress that enough. I’d heard the negative reviews, but, the concept seemed interesting to me, so on a whim, I got the game for cheap and it quickly became one of my top 5 fav games this gen.You assume the role of agent Mike Thorton, new recruit to a top secret government espionage agency, who quickly becomes embroiled in a global conspiracy, fighting for his life and to clear his name. Where this game shines is player choice: every choice you make has implications on the story. Characters can end up allies or enemies and will come back to haunt you one way or another depending on how you deal w/ them. Thanks to this, the entire end sequence was different for me on my 2nd playthrough, the gal who was my love interest my first time through ended up having a face off against me as my enemy the 2nd. The gameplay isn’t perfect, and stealth is over powered as hell, but if you can look past that, you will find a game w/ a great story, great voice acting and awesome characters. I hope Obsidian will get a shot at making a sequel sometime.

I’m not going to lie to you, this game has it fair share of issues that drag it down for being truely great, but that’s not to say that there isn’t greatness to be found. While the universal opinion is pretty poor for Obsidian’s ‘Espionage RPG,’ for pretty valid reasons, the games real problems can all be traced back to one thing, lack of polish. You can find examples of this in nearly every review so instead I’ll just explain why I still love this game. To start I was floored by just how different 2 people can play it. I’ll explain, myself and 2 buddies both took on different playstyles. One went pre-set Commando, another choose his own skill tree, while I went pre-set spy. Not only did this change how we handled missions, but it also effected our relationships, convesations and how possible contacts viewed us. The choices we made really seemed to have impact on the world as well as our characters, unlocking various perks affording small bonuses unique to them. While not the most original story, it still manages to get in a few real good twist before the end. The characters you interact with are rich and while if a little stereotypical are well voiced and diveres, especially Thorton your main character. Lastly, I found character progression to be pretty well done. My character seemed to level up at a pretty steady rate through out the game and when it came time for the finale I was nearly max. The skills you chould purchase I also found to be extremely usefull, unique, and f.

Hopefully the Goddess helps Sega decide to make a sequel to this game and bring Obsidian in on it again. I believe it is perhaps one of the single under appreciated games I have ever had the pleasure of playing. I want a sequel because I want the story to ‘continue’ outside of my own imagination.I am rabid about RPG games having a rich player driven action/adventure stories with romance. Where action and dialogue choices define the story as it plays out. If that is what you are after too? Then I am positive you will enjoy this game too. There are many deep fundamental choices that change what missions you are on immediately and even later on in the story.There are some minor bugs and graphic problems but the fell far short from hurting how much I love this game. That is they failed to impact actual gameplay for me. As with all RPGs though just remember to save often because more times than naught you will make a choice you may not like as much later in your story. The NPCs are so awesome that I didn’t mind playing through a mission or two again.- American Ninja and Ronald F*$&!ng Reagon

This game is somewhat of a mixed bag for me, but time and time again I have played through this game over and over again. There are huge issues with the game, but what this game does right certainly brings you back for more.First, the positives. The concept of this game is very innovative as it deems itself “the first tactical espionage RPG”. What this game does right is the dialogue and choices. Whichever way you approach a conversation is how the person you are talking to will react negatively or positively. There is no right or wrong choice, which opens up a plethora of paths to walk and allot of replayability. Your choices will also affect the endgame with the ones you allied yourself with willing to help you while others you pissed off (or killed) will not be willing to help you out. Certain bonuses are earned with certain actions, so experimentation is encouraged to get the results you desire. The voice acting is excellentNext, the negatives. The combat is easily one of the worst parts of the game. The gun play is very stiff and some of the types of guns (SMGs) are overshadowed by others (Rifles) resulting in a huge imbalance for weapon types. The A.I. in this game is ridiculous as sometimes they can’t even see you as you stand right in front of them. The graphics were also sub-par with bad texture pop ins and stiff animations. It loads constantly even when walking down a hallway. There are also a bunch of game breaking bugs even with the patches this game has received.

First off, this game is an RPG at it’s core. While there are shooting, stealth, and action elements, it’s all derived from the skill points your allocate throughout the game. Example. You point a handgun at someone and pull the trigger and you inexplicably miss.. It’s likely b/c your pistol skill was too low. This is a recurring theme will many actions you can perform throughout the game. Again, once you realize it’s an RPG I think you will appreciate this game for what it is, if you like that sort of thing of course. I’m not going to talk about the graphics, story, etc b/c honestly, for the listed price you’re getting a damn good game. However, you’ll need to play through it a few times to completely appreciate what it has to offer and of course to see all of the possible story arcs (there are several of them btw). Give it a shot and keep an open mind. You won’t be disappointed.
