    alphaview's Alpha Protocol (PlayStation 3) review

    Avatar image for alphaview

    A flawed but fun game.

    The game has flaws; a few bugs in the abilities (I use the ability to be invisible and the enemies still fill me with lead). BUT, the story is akin to a true spy film, with twist and turns everywhere, and reprecussions for almost everything you do (do you kill this guy and lose information that can make another mission easier or do you let him go and risk the lives of millions, believe it or not that is actually one of the options). The combat is not the best nor is it it the worst, with an assortment of abilities, Close Quarter Combat and weapons, the game gives no restraint on options; you want to blow things up go ahead or you want to move like a shadow in the night, knock yourself out. It is an action rpg that though flawed is by far not the worst choice on the market; good story, characters, settings and combat make up for some of the buggy gameplay (nowhere as bad as Fallout).

      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...
