GameSpot: Alpha Protocol Review

GameSpot writes: "Alpha Protocol's ambitions are commendable, and if you're a role-playing fanatic, you'll enjoy investigating its intricacies. It's unfortunate that its various ingredients are so undercooked. The flaky cover system, the mediocre production values, the fundamental blemishes gone unchecked--these elements add up quickly and drag the experience down. The elaborate storytelling and character progression are impressive. It's too bad that the gawky, glitchy gameplay can't rise to the same standard".

my expectation for this game just flush out the drain

jjesso19935089d ago

Why listen to review ? this game is great, Have ever picked game rated poorley and thought i like this I have many times and i find this one of them

crematory5089d ago

god damm it , just watch the game videos its a trash

Tony P5089d ago

It's really about what I expected, but I am no less pumped to play.

The only thing that really disappoints me is that after all the delays, the game still comes out notably buggy.

MajestieBeast5089d ago

Wow this doesnt spell any good for fallout vegas i mean same company and everything.

Elven65089d ago

They also made,

Star Wars: KOTOR II (Although LA really messed them up)
Neverwinter Nights 2 and expansions

Before that, the key team at Obsidian worked at Black Isle and made games like,

Fallout series
Baldurs Gate series
Ice Wind Dales series
Planetscape: Torment

Just because one game looks to be mediocre does not mean the studio itself is incompetent. Plus New Vegas incorporates aspects from Van Buren (what a lot of Fallout fans consider the true Fallout 3) so I'm sure it'll be great.

BakedGoods5089d ago

I agree. The review is a bit harsh too. Most other reviews commend the RPG aspects and story-line choices. It's the outdated graphics and weak AI that hurt it.

ps3best5087d ago

fallout new vegas looks solid

mrv3215089d ago

Despite the fact I'm fairly sure they'll use VATS in F: New Vegas, so the combat isn't too much of a worry.

ps3best5087d ago

fallout new vegas will be their only good game i think

VegaShinra5089d ago

This is gonna be one of those games with mixed scores all ova the place

sluttytuna5089d ago

Gamespot gives great reviews but my god it kills me! A great game like Red Dead comes out and it NEVER have the review up the day it comes out! But look a crap game and BAM review 4 days early!

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

EvertonFC71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga71d 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!

LordoftheCritics71d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend70d 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-Long71d ago

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

melons71d ago

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

Skuletor71d 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.

ravens5270d ago

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

monkey60270d 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.

Skuletor71d ago

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

Terry_B70d ago (Edited 70d 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.

autobotdan1040d 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

Vits1039d ago

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

MetalProxy1039d ago

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

porkChop1039d 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.

ApocalypseShadow1039d ago (Edited 1039d 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.
