Alpha Protocol is a game that looks great on paper, and seems like any fan of recent Action/RPG games, namely Mass Effect , would love to have on their shelf. Unfortunatly, the game falls far short of its goal and ultimatly ends up feeling like it is trying to do too many things and does none of...

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 further marred by texture pop-in and bad animations; Terrible AI affects both the shooting and the stealth; The story lacks soul and character

Alpha Protocol tries to sneak past Kevin VanOrd in this video review.

Alpha Protocol is bursting with great ideas, but none of them make it to the surface unscathed. The RPG and character development elements are perfect for the third person shooter audience.

The control players have on how the story plays out; An overall interesting concept; The dialogue system

The wretched cover mechanics; The enormous amount of visual and animation glitches; The poor camera perspectives

This game is a must buy at first I was skeptical that this would be a good game due to alot of critic reviews. But in the end it turned out to be a really great game now there are some minor problems with the hand to hand combat system in the game but otherwise everything is very good the storyline...

Alpha Protocol. All you have to do is mention those two words and the Internet sinks into a negative frenzy, as journalist after journalist takes a snipe at SEGA and Obsidian's latest. Is Alpha Protocol really all that bad, or should it have been cancelled?

Taking you on a suspenseful ride in the vein of James Bond, Jack Bauer, and Jason Bourne, Alpha Protocol has you work your way up the ranks as rookie agent Michael Thorton to become a bona-fide super spy.

Michael Thorton is pissed off. First he was drugged and recruited into a shadowy organisation known as Alpha Protocol, then he was sold out and now there is an annoying Russian arms dealer who apparently loves 80's rock who is trying to kill him.
