Alpha Protocol Review - VideoGamer

VG:

On paper, Alpha Protocol sounds incredibly alluring, combining the best elements of the role-playing and action genres with a refreshing concept. In executing that concept, however, the game falls apart at the seams. Ignoring the dialogue system, Obsidian's latest plays like a substandard third-person shooter. Despite its myriad of shortcomings there's a moderate amount of fun to be had with Alpha Protocol. It's a game that's more enjoyable than it probably should be, a game that's better than the sum of its parts. There's a lot of potential hiding under the flawed shell, and although Obsidian has failed to coax it out this time around, I hope somebody does the concept justice in the future.

Had a feeling this game was going to be average at best.

tinybigman5101d ago

range from a 5 to high 8s. i'll wait to see the overall feeling from all sites.

nycredude5101d ago

This is starting to worry me. I have this preordered and paid off. I might have to change it. What do you guy think? prince of Persia or Lost Planet 2? Not much coming out in the next two months.

BeaArthur5101d ago

If those are your options go back and play something you missed out on earlier this year or last year.

user94220775101d ago

Prince of Persia for an excellent single player and LP2 for multiplayer.

tinybigman5101d ago

in like 4 days. the game seems to easy.

Montrealien5101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

Don't let the Debbie downers get to you nycdude. It is a good game and you will be better off getting this other then Prince of persia or Lost planet 2. and now that your expectations have been lowered by a bunch of people that have not even played it, you will most likely be surprised by Alpha protocol.

you look at Obsidians back catalogue and its the same old story with their other games, KOTR 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, both technically bad but have potential, not much different here but saying that im gonna get it im sure it will be enjoyable.

Montrealien5101d ago

it is a good game, really. I am glad they took a gamble and tried this out, it seems like a very good gaming experience.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga83d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics83d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend82d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long83d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons83d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor83d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5282d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60282d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor83d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

Top 10 Xbox 360 Games That Need to be Backward Compatible

Kevin F. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Many of the best Xbox 360 games are playable on the Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. Some even with some enhanced visuals and performance. Unfortunately, not every game from the Xbox 360 library has received this glorious feat of being able to be played on more modern Microsoft consoles."

Max Payne 3 needs to be on that list.

autobotdan1051d ago

The Spider-man games will never happen. The xbox 360 Marvel Ultimate Alliance games have a better chance of happening than Spider-man titles but won't happen. The Xbox One Ultimate Alliance games delisted years ago

Vits1051d ago

Yeah... you can totally forget about those entries that got delisted because of licensing issues. Those are not happening.

MetalProxy1051d ago

Wait everything isn’t BC? You guys act like it is lol

porkChop1051d ago

Almost all of the games people want to play are BC, and that's a hell of a lot better than having none available.

ApocalypseShadow1051d ago (Edited 1051d ago )

Almost all the games people want to play? Not true. Majority picks screw over the minority who have games collecting dust. Metal is right. Fans make it seem that it's all. 39/997 games from OG Xbox is NOT all. 568/2154 from 360 is NOT all. But you guys play it up like it is.

And from my count, there are 4,000+ PS4 BC games on PS5 that I see. And almost every VR game. Series X has no Kinect games or Kinect 2. But you played that up too. No more dancing.

As for the article, some of the BC games make sense. The others with Spider-Man aren't happening.
