Alpha Protocol is a third person action stealth game with role playing elements which was released on PC in 2010. You play the role of Michael Thorton, a field operative, and you sneak around doing things which must not be linked to the US government. This is the kind of game that I want to love.

Interactive storyline

Buggy; gameplay generally lacks polish

Playing Alpha Protocol is like putting together a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle with 500 pieces missing: You get a sense of what the big picture should have been, but the final product is still maddeningly incomplete.

Your choices have lasting impact on the story and gameplay; Lots of ways to approach missions and develop your character

Flaky; glitchy cover mechanics; Bland visuals marred by bad animations; Terrible AI affects both the shooting and the stealth; The story lacks soul and character

Obsidian Entertainment are wizards when it comes to creating sequels and spin-offs for other developers' with games like Fallout New Vegas, adding their own story and gameplay tweaks to an existing franchise.

Constantly changing story guided by the player's choices; solid voice work; customizable RPG elements

Boring gameplay; bland environments; poor AI

Да, Alpha Protocol заметно не дотягивает до уровня Mass Effect 2. Но это не так страшно – шпионская жизнь от Obsidian затягивает. Сам Майк неплох: хорош собой, крут и жесток настолько, насколько вы сами этого хотите и требует ситуация.

Alpha protocal is not perfect but for the price i would advise anyone that is a fan of role playing thrillers to pick this up. Alpha protocal has good bright graphics and run just fine on my year old 64 Amd 6300 Pc.

If you haven't read my experiences with the first couple of hours of Alpha Protocol , it's worth reading those first, since I'll be building on top of that. That done, here's Wot I Think:

I had been following this game through developement and purchased when it was released. I think it is evident that the game was not ready for release but was pushed out the door because otherwise it may have just been scrapped.

Innovative conversation system; Interesting combination of modern setting with role playing mechanics; Firearm modification was good; Character customization was great, and sometimes hilarious

I think where this game really falls apart is the combat; Its too clunky to be played as a third person shooter, but lacked the tactical abilities of Mass Effect or Fallout to be played as a tactical RPG; The abilities really aren't balanced and many aren't viable; The graphics were marginal.

I **** love this game it has choices that actually matter and affect the story and narative4 the gameplay is a bit **** but dayum is the story bretty good 10/10
