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.

Basically, if you’re a fan of Mass Effect’s play style, and the spy genre, this is an incredible game. Very open play style, where you can choose to ally or kill different factions/people, customize your gear and weaponry, and overcome situations in a variety of styles, be it with guns, explosives, or stealth.

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.

Ever want to live put your James Bond and/or Jack Bauer fantasies? Well, here you go. You get to be a secret agent working for an agency so secret that it doesn’t officially exist, and when stuff gets FUBAR you are naturally left to fend for yourself in a variety of exotic locales. You can specialize in either run and gun skills or stealth skills, but the stealth mode in this game has been done much better in games like the Hitman series. I chose to shoot eveybody and spent two entire days glued to my TV. I hope I still have a job, cuz I didn’t go in for those two days. Also, you get to level up your character sort of like in the Fallout games, but the leveling up system doesn’t impact the gameplay as much a in Fallout. I would have rated this higher, but I read that there are no plans for a DLC, so once you complete the game, that’s all she wrote. At its current price, though, there is no excuse for not owning this game.

First of all im doing this by phone so please bear with me. Also note that this is a review of the xbox 360 version of the game.For a long time I was excited for this game bit almost didnt get it because of the reviews, dont pass this game up. Im going to try and keep this short/blunt. Alpha Protocol is a good game! However it isnt for everybody. Don’t go in expecting splinters level of stealh game play ie hang from stuff. Don’t expect a third person shooter like gears of war, and dont expect mass effect! I can not stress that last one enough.While it has issues with textures poping, I am on my second play and have not had any AI issues. This game as said before doesnt have the best graphics but what it does have are more then good enough. Now this game is a bit….rough. It does not pamper you like most games today. I read a person saying it should have gears of war cover bit I never had an issue pressing A as soon as I hit cover. I also read people say its hard to shoot…..its an rpg not a shooter lvl up your skill and any gun can be awesome (although it isnt hard to do so even before hand).I guess what im trying to say is if you are actually any good at gaming then sneaking and shooting are not as hard as people say. If you want a fun interesting game then dont skip this, just be sure you can handle playing something that doesnt hold your hand all the time.FOR PARENTS:If you want to know how child safe this is, it does have (suggested) sex that you need to go out of your.

Alpha protocol wasn’t that fun at first, but it does get way better as you progress in the storyline and learn more skills. Just for those who aren’t accustomed to RPG’s, it is a good shooter if you level up the skills of the guns that you want to use. At first you can’t hit the broad side of a barn, but once you either find mods for your guns hidden in the levels, or purchuse through the black market (and level up your guns), it turns into an awesome shooter. Just be patient, and the further you progress in the game, new guns, mods, armors, and gadgets will be available on the market. There is actually quite a bit of weapons and mods to find and buy. This is not really a run and gun game, nor is it really a stealth game. It’s more of a game where you have to approach each situation carefully. Stealth and firepower is an option, but neither will see you through the game alone. It’s linear in that aspect, but the abilities and skills are very fun, and this is a really fun game in general. It’s worth the price

Alpha Protocol follows Agent Thorton has he pursues Al-Shaheed and a terrorist organization that has claimed responsibility for shooting down an airliner with bleeding edge military hardware. As a member of a black-on-black organization, you are tasked with finding the leader and retrieving the weaponry.Alpha Protocol manages to come up with a good and well thought out balance between the action and the RPG halves that it tries to juggle. From word one, you begin to customize your character by what you say and how you act. While most people I’m certain will fall into the ruthless or professional categories, you can pick and choose with a little more degree than that, and nearly every action could have a perk waiting behind it, awarded for playing a certain part. Perks play like in Fallout, though they have far less impact and there are many more of them.Graphics are hit and miss. While the backgrounds and character models are great in some instances, at other times there are glaring clipping errors, and I’ve seen a few moments where my hair is struggling to keep up with the rest of me.Dialogue flows beautifully, and while some of the lines stretch the boundaries, everything manages to snap neatly together. You are borderline forced to follow every conversation line of line, as the dialogue options can’t really be skipped to, and while there are only three options, there are very rare moments when what you mean and what the game decided you meant are completely different, and.

Sure it borrows a few things from the 1st Mass Effect,however they made it thier own. I’m not a fan of the timed response mechanic,I know where they were going with that to make it authentic but I can do without it. The graphics are lacking a little like it was made for ps2 but it was ported to the ps3 for example. I like the story and making allies or foes is a GOOD feature. You can play this over and over again. NEVER PLAY THE SAME GAME TWICE.

First off, this is my very first review here on retrolio, and I chose Alpha Protocol (AP) because it isn’t an easy one to review.The story: The plot, characters, and twists are a lot like a Tom Clancy novel but not nearly as long. Everything is connected. What you do somewhere at one point of time will follow you and affect your interactions and consequences going forward. It’s a great story, well written with all the elements of a techno-thriller.The game play: The game play is like your favorite sports team that always falls short. It has great, truly awesome, potential. Just this side of fully customizable game play and character setup. Do you want to sneak in the shadows and stab people? There’s a setup for that. Do you want to run around shooting everything? There’s a setup for that. Character customization does have a few faults (I hope you like Michael Thorton because he’s it, no femThorton etc). As for the actual game play, not so great.The learning curve is very steep but, once you get on top, the game becomes laughably easy. I chose Hard and a recruit set up (clean slate, build as you go) and built up a Sam Fisher “if you can see me, you are already dead” set up. By the time I got to the 4th total location, I was pistol crit-hit head shooting everyone and their dog without even coming out of cover.Of course, this required me to master the controls. This is a feat worthy of its own achievement (for us xbox users). Controls are only semi intutative but some ways very si.
