Alpha Protocol Review - PlayStation LifeStyle

Alpha Protocol does have its flaws in almost every corner, with its frustrating mini-games to the way the game handles combat as well as pretty poor AI. However, this game is a fresh take and face on a new franchise which includes an involving storyline paired with a new twist on character interaction making Alpha Protocol a fairly enjoyable game. Obsidian Entertainment has succeeded in some aspects with blending a healthy dose of 3rd person action and complex RPG elements into one immersive and intriguing experience along with a high degree of freedom - something which should be experienced by anyone remotely interested in RPGs or stealth games.

Hmmm...I'll have to Gamefly this, lol. Or wait for the price to drop to $30,lol!

doctorstrange5488d ago

I'll pick it up in the future

Lifewish5488d ago

might be waiting a while for the price drop to 30 bucks

HolyOrangeCows5488d ago

Hmm, lifestyle is usually pretty easy on games, too.

sikbeta5488d ago

I was expecting more than this...

exnihilonihilfit5488d ago

Something about that review makes me feel like the person who reviewed it is more of an FPS, TPS fan, than an RPG fan. He seems to be downplaying the RPG elements, while focusing on gunplay and graphics. Personally, I couldn't care less about the graphics, and RPG shooters generally have less than stellar gunplay, but as long as it's not terrible, I know I'll enjoy it.

Cheeseknight285488d ago

I for one am glad it got a mediocre score. I have too many games to play as is, don't need a reason to buy another.

Will wait for sub-$20.

Hmmm, this is one that really flew under the radar for me. Might have to give it a try at some point.

doctorstrange5488d ago

This game didnt have much hype

user94220775488d ago

It did kinda but got delayed too many times

NJShadow5488d ago

Yeah, I remember hearing the name constantly, but never saw any real gameplay footage.

deadpool195488d ago

I guess lack of hype was due to the delays

TrevorPhillips5488d ago

I'll give it a try.

I'll rent it

One of the few 7th gen game that I'll full heartedly support for a remake.
Its a very unique RPG and deserves its faults fixed the 2nd time.

TheNamelessOne343d ago

I would be so for this. Alpha Protocol is the definition of a diamond in the rough. Before being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian presented their ideas for a sequel, multiple times, but were always shot down. Even something simple like a remaster is very unlikely.

ZeekQuattro343d ago

Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

TheColbertinator343d ago

Had some issues but that game was brilliant.

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

EvertonFC469d ago (Edited 469d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga469d 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!

LordoftheCritics469d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend469d 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-Long469d ago

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

melons469d ago

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

Skuletor469d 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.

ravens52469d ago

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

monkey602469d 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.

Skuletor469d ago

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

Terry_B469d ago (Edited 469d 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.
