Pile of Shame Review - Alpha Protocol
Release Date: July 1, 2010
Completion Date: July 6, 2012
Price: $6.76 - Amazon Prime (PC)
Your history plays a role in how people treat you during the first quarter of the game. I chose Freelancer.
A look at how you can improve your skills. Martial Arts, Pistols, and Assault Rifles were my route.
Dialogue decisions really do play a huge role in how the story plays out.
The beginning levels originally turned me off to the game. The level design in all of AP is rudimentary, but I got over it about halfway through because the story overshadowed it. My pipe dream while playing was keeping the AP story, but having the gunplay and graphics replaced with Mass Effect's gunplay and graphical prowess. If that were the case, AP would be a Superb (100/100.)
An example of how terrible the AI is.
AP likes to show you the ladies. It's a bit humiliating how much the game objectifies them.
A bit of run-and-gun gameplay.
Like I said before, the game really wants you to talk to ladies, every dialogue decision you have with them determines whether or not you two can have intercourse. (This chick's sex scene was crazy!)
More run-and-gun with an example of Dialogue decisions at the end. (MINOR spoilers.)
Single-Player Campaign
70% - Good
