Alpha Protocol


While its story, characters and conversations are interesting and fun to play around with, Alpha’s third-person shooting – which makes up the bulk of the game – is not. It’s a far cry from terrible, but we’d been led to expect much more.

The Game's decent enough, I guess, but the combat is SERIOUSLY flawed. People keep talking about how it takes 5 point blank shotgun shots to kill one enemy- all i know is that the aiming is TERRIBLE. Pistols have terrible accuracy, and the assault rifles aren't much better. The levels are FAR better if you try playing them as an espionage or stealth game, like MGS, but as a run-and-gun shooter it fails miserably. The game's worth PLAYING, but not Buying- If you have an opportunity to borrow or rent it- or buy it considerably discounted- by all means have a go, but there is no way to justify paying £20-something for it.

I like how they are so confident the sequel will be popular before the 1st games been release... a year late..

The term reactivity crops up a lot as we sit down to play Alpha Protocol: the rep from developer Obsidian is obsessed with the word and all it means.

Look out Bond, Sega's action RPG is 2009's new super-agent
Jul 07, 2008
Fairly or not, RPGs are fatally associated with orcs, aliens and bearded wizards. Not everyone likes the idea of having to level-up characters over 50 hours, or learn different trades just to be a Level 6 cobbler. Sega’s Alpha Protocol, however, is a ‘stealth’ RPG, applying its stat-heavy mechanics and micro-management in a world anyone can relate to – modern day espionage; in an action adventure where you can be » Read Full Alpha Protocol preview

Apr 22, 2008
From Bond’s first glowering stare across a baccarat table all the way to Tom Cruise whining like a baby and sticking explosive chewing gum on a fish tank - the international spy thriller has been a cornerstone of popular culture for decades. So why has it never really translated to games? Only one Bond game was ever any good and the rest were a sequence of gaudy car crashes and poorly clipped death animations.
