Just Started Playing Alpha Protocol only about 30 mins in so far but its looks like it will be a realy good game, seems to be on par with mass effect 2 so far. A few minor gripes so far tho (should be easitly fix able) Sensitivity - the game wasnt sensitive enough when just walking around so i jacked it up but when in combat aiming becomes a knightmare because its too sensitive there dosent seem to be any middle ground. the mouse controled part of the hacking minigame are just so finiky if i could just use the keyboard for both parts it would be som much easyer. There the only major problems i have so far well see what more time with the game brings.

go with stealth skills. Game is much better when you sneak.
Also dialog system is good, it gives a sense of emergency and mystery to it.

it's nothing like ME2 
I loved pretty much all aspect of ME2 
 
and I like Alpha Protocol, but not in it's entirety... there's so many flaws in the game, especially in the gameplay itself.

Ok maybe now ive played a little further its not on par with mass effect 2 but what i ment was that it felt a lot like it. Same kinda dialog system, Space Bar does pretty much everything, hacking minigames and the such. Im kinda annoyed by the stealth now maybe its because i havent realy leveled up stealth much but being stealthy is so damn hard unless you play each mission like 10 times and remember enemy placement your gonna get seen A LOT so i gave up with stealth and resorted to the tactic of running full pelt at then enemy and CQCing him to death before an alarm was tripped supprisingly it works more that you would expect it would. Also i like the option at the start of the game to play as a "rookie" which starts you with no skills but extra dialog choices which is kinda cool,

" I'm enjoying it more than Mass Effect 2. It's much more of an RPG, which is exactly what I wanted. It doesn't have anywhere near the same level of polish, however. "

Game looks really clunky from the Quick Look, but then again, I did love the first Mass Effect despite its clunkiness. Story and setting also looks interesting, and as Jeff said, it seems to have a much more Bourne Identity or Burn Notice vibe than other games, and hey--I really like the Bourne movies.

" @Lind_L_Taylor: It released earlier in Europe. That's why some people already have the game. 
 
Personally, that quick look confirmed that I have no interest in AP. It just looks far too clunky, perhaps moreso than even Mass Effect 1, and I hated the jank in ME1. If people like it, more power to them. I don't think I could stand it. "

This game sounds just like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. when it was first released. I will wait for the modding community to fix all the developers faults.

This game actually does more than Mass Effect 2 on the RPG front, so it can appeal to those disapointed with how actiony ME2 was. However it's far from the level of polish and care that Bioware can reach. Alpha Protocol is an ambitious game with flawed core gameplay. 
Still a decent game though. Plus they don't really do games like that anymore.

I've only heard bad things, though i WAS kinda interested in at least havin' a mini razz on it..

Alot of the problems with this game can probably fixed with a patch so now that people have got their hands on it and are giving feedback hopefuly the bugs will be fixed asap.

Enjoying the RPG elements quite a bit. Being stealthy and breaking necks is extremely entertaining. :)
