Alpha Protocol is one of those games that is almost there, but fails, and fails hard, on a few aspects that mark the game as bad. Despite this, I gave Alpha Protocol an 8.0 for a few reasons as follow… Read more
I really enjoyed this game. It was a nice break from the usual sci-fi or fantasy theme of most RPGs. I liked how it forces you to make quick decisions in the moment and then prevents you from quick re… Read more

I really, really love Obsidian, but if there's one undeniable fact, it's that they get completely boned by their publishers nearly every release. After essentially creating the Fallout franchise (with… Read more
Full-length reviews present an off-putting challenge for me. I labor over word, sentence, and grammatical choices to the point of exhaustion. These five-word reviews are my solace; I hope you apprecia… Read more

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,… Read more

I want to like Alpha Protocol. The premise of an espionage RPG is great, and there are some meaningful and brilliant ideas in terms of the game's conversational cause-and-effect system. But everything… Read more
Alpha protocol has a very unique premise in which it combines third action stealth gameplay with the rich and deep RPG elements. While its originality is that makes it stand out from the rest of the c… Read more
Jason Bourne, James Bond, Jack Bauer which one are you. 1st off Alpha Protocol is buggy. From camera looking through walls to doors no longer being able to be opened again. The game is buggy. 2nd issu… Read more
Alpha Protocol is such a frustrating game. For every moment where its misguided action gameplay rears its ugly head, there's a moment where you're confronted with a subtle consequence of a subtle acti… Read more
Alpha Protocol is a RPG/stealth/shooter mix developed by Obsidian Entertainment and released in 2010. The game takes a lot of inspiration from Biowares Mass Effect, using a similar mix of third person… Read more
Well if you're anything like I was a week ago. You've already heard of this game and are just looking for a reason to finally shell out some clams for it or erase it's existence from your mind. I don'… Read more
After retrospective coverage of the game on the Bombcast and a tempting pricepoint at my local store, I ended up buying this. With the basic concept being the much touted "Mass Effect with spies" , de… Read more
I recently picked up Alpha Protocol during the Steam holiday sale for 7.5 euros and I thought I'd write about it. I'm surprised how bad this game was received, maybe this will convince more people to… Read more
Alpha protocol is just like Mass Effect 2. The two games are blindingly similar. It's almost uncanny. The same critiques can be levied towards both games - the high notes are a bit different, but AP i… Read more
I can't think of a single developer that has had more backstage drama and issues then Obsidian. Obsidian's track record so far has been spotty at best with them producing what should be great games bu… Read more
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 th… Read more

So-so game play, great story. Immersible and truly reacts to what you do in the game world, unlike some other RPGs. Not very customizable either. Game really picks up after the beginning Saudi Mission… Read more
Yes, this game is full of bugs, sometimes feeling unfinished. It also has graphics comparable to a poor looking PSone game and poor enemy AI. But if you can look past this Alpha Protocol is one of the… Read more
You ever wonder what constitutes a bad video game? Yeah there are really terrible games out there like “Survivor: The Interactive Game”, “Superman 64” and even “E.T The Extra-Terrestrial.” that are no… Read more
Ugh. This is one of those games I'm just torn about. I was beyond impressed with the dialogue and choice system, as well as the rich narrative. Yet these amazing highs make the clunky gameplay all the… Read more
First of all the shooting isn't great. It's certainly playable but not up to par with ME2 or Splinter Cell. The game doesn't look horrible or anything, the visuals are good enough for me although ther… Read more
I finally got around to trying out "Alpha Protocol" and it was two hours into the game that I realized how spoiled I was with "Mass Effect 2." BioWare cleaned up a lot of nagging issues from the first… Read more

Obsidian takes their crack at a game genre that has been amazingly underrepresented: spy-based RPG. After a somewhat elongated development cycle, Alpha Protocol has been launched. In this title, you a… Read more
Alpha Protocol is not a game without problems. Graphical hitches, awkward animation, and an annoying checkpoint system constantly interfere with the globe-trotting, espionage experience. Ultimately, t… Read more
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 o… Read more
First I'll get the bad out of the way: I had to restart a mission once due to a broke in-mission checkpoint. Sometimes the conversation options are deceptive. The bosses are very frustrating and viola… Read more

Pros It's an RPG! With spies! That counts for something in my book. Likable characters. Handles dialogue in a way that forces you to think on your feet. Cons It's more RPG than shooter, which is a pro… Read more
Ignore the reviews, any fan of RPG's MUST play this game. If you can look past the texture pop-in, stiff animations, and various bugs, there is a hidden gem to be played. Let's start with the positive… Read more
