    Gem of a game

    Bravo Alpha Protocol bravo. This game is great and I am only writing this to clear up some of the misinformation about this time. For one I never ran into a bug in this game and as far as I can tell no patch was released so maybe the bug is a very rare thing but is always solved by restarting the mission and no missions take that long *refering to the doors locking bug people seem to talk about*. Second the shooting is just fine in this game in the review by Jeff he talks about how the shooting is off so he just increases stealth and while that is fine any true RPG lover will know that if your accuracy is bad you increase the skill in the type of gun you are using. Once I got a couple points into pistols I had no accuracy problems when I actually wanted to shoot a guy and was not just blind firing and that itself seems fairly accurate once you get even more points into pistols. The story for the game is spectacular and is exactly what should be expected when you are playing a spy game. The title of the game really says it all "The Espionage RPG" everything makes you think of old spy movies with tons of twists on who is on whos side.

    On a final note remember this is a espionage rpg...think about that all RPGs have stat points. Saying the accuracy in a certain gun is bad and not even raising the guns skill is just a new players mistake. You wouldnt complain that your sword keeps missing in a RPG while your sword skill is low even though you are obviously hitting the person. The only problem I found in the game is the cover system can be annoying at times but over all it works like it should

Now this is one of a million ways you can choose to play the game onc...

      Alpha Protocol - A REAL RPG 0

      Ignore the reviews, any fan of RPG's MUST play this game. If you can look past the texture pop-in, stiff animations, and various bugs, there is a hidden gem to be played.  Let's start with the positives, the dialogue system is one of the best in gaming. Dialogue choices actually effect the overall story and how certain characters view you. It doesn't have empty choices that lead nowhere (Mass Effect, etc.). It also has a great cast of characters and an intriguing storyline. The RPG elements in t...
