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!

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.

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…

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.
