Alpha Protocol: The Espionage RPG

writing this review based on the first 2 missions ive played this morning and im very impressed! good graphics and very good a.i for once! the missions are a good challenge and i love the role play with the other characters in the game which allows you or them to manipulate the situation or how the mission is played out. overall a good start and not as easy as you might think!

What first greets you when load up Alpha Protocol is some shoddy loading screens and clinky menus. Indeed, when you venture into the game itself, you see that it looks truly awful. Despite these obvious flaws, AP really is a gem of a role-player, with some great Mass-Effect style dialogue and some good shooting sections. The levels of customisation are very deep and due to the many choices to be made in the story, it offers good replay value. The cover system and shooting are agreeably chunky and if the Bond style 'spying' isn't your style, you can go sneaky. Obsidian obviously have a flair for the dialogue, with truly Mass Effect equalling choices and consequences. If you can ignore the obvious flaws and concentrate on the strengths, you'll find a role player of real excellence.

Even tho there is a few flawes with this game its still a pretty good title, Id recomend it to any mass effect/rpg/spy game fans

Shooting is awful. Dialogue system is terrible and such a disappointment. This is just a failure as a game. Let's hope Obsidian do a better job with Fallout New Vegas

I have no idea why people are not enjoying this game...yeah its not as smooth as splintercell conviction in terms of game play but very similar idea with the addition of what you say and how you treat people you talk to in the game can give change the way things pan out. its also challenging. at first i did think this is too easy but as the game progresses it does get more difficult and the bosses are very challanging. You cant do the whole game stealth but there is a good combation of stealth and combat. I love this game! i feel sad that users dont feel the same.
