    This game feels like its alpha

    Alpha protocol has a very unique premise in which it combines third action stealth gameplay with the rich and deep RPG elements.  While its originality is that makes it stand out from the rest of the crowd its execution is lacking. There are moments in the game that are very enjoyable but are hampered by technical glitches and bad game design mechanics. But on top of that a fairy annoying performance of voice acting by the main characters in which even the subtitles it's difficult to follow the games deep storylines.  This is also part by the fact that this game includes tremendous amount of dialogue for the majority of the game. 

    The stealth and gun game play is a hit and miss, shooting it and accuracy is loosely determined by the size of the crosshairs and more controlled by the attributes of your character and the weapon that you are using also the stealth mechanics feel very unforgiving even on easier difficulties which is disappointing considering that the majority game promotes the use of stealth and espionage to get the most of the game and while failing stealth does bring in branching storylines it's difficult to experience the other branches because of this.

    The game's technical performance also suffers on the PS3, texture loading is extremely noticeable and the slowdown caused from loading different areas and streaming textures is also noticeable and hampers the games experience.

    I can only recommend this to those who love espionage games with a deep story and RPG elements.

    The game feels half finished and could've used a little bit more polish and tweaking to bring a more rich experience to the table.

      Alpha Protocol: The game I hate to hate. 0

      Alpha Protocol makes me cry inside. To witness so much wasted potential for this to become one of the greatest games of 2010 and a great mark for other modern shooter RPGs to follow is truly one of this generation's most disheartening tragedies. What founded these tears, specifically, are thanks to how poorly it plays, the astonishingly sub-par graphics, clumsy animations, bugs, glitchs and just the overall coat of crap that reaches across to every corner.Alpha Protocol is an Action/RPG very aki...

      The game was flawed but the ending was sweet! 0

      Seriously, I loved the ending to this game. Despite all of it's issues I truly, truly dug the ending to this game.   I don't mean the "hahaha, the game's over and I don't have to play it anymore" sort of thing. I mean the actual ending to the game was pretty awesome.   You play as Super Secret Agent Michael Thorton. Well, not really super secret, most people seem to know who you are, or do they? Whatever the case may be, you work for Alpha Protocol who actually is a secret agency and does things...
