Alpha Protocol review - 84% in GamesMaster

GamesMaster's verdict on Alpha Protocol is in and it's a favourable one at that.

The mag's awarded Sega's espionage RPG a very respectable 84% thanks to its, "dynamic shooting, insane levels of customisation and a thumping near-future dose of espionage and sinister conspiracy."

About what I expected. I expect that this game will get some decent pre-release reviews, then a whole lot of post-release criticism.

Montrealien5832d ago

Sometimnes I wonder why people feel the need to share such Debbie Downer type of comments.

/on topic

We just received this today, I am looking forward to trying it out tonight, looks promissing.

Montrealien

Please post some impressions. I have this on preorder and paid but would like to know if I should keep it. Thanks.

Xof So an 84 is NOT good now? When did you start gaming? Back in the day an 84 was a must play!

despair5832d ago

i've bought and enjoyed games with a lot lower score than 8.4, not good HA.

I just wonder if Mass Effect would have got about the same scores if it was multi platform.. I think it probably would have..

Cold 20005832d ago (Edited 5832d ago )

According to your "logic" I guess GOW3 would have got the same scores as Dante's Inferno if it was multi.

BeaArthur5832d ago

It was multiplatform. The PC is a platform, so no, you would be wrong.

jetlian5832d ago (Edited 5832d ago )

PC is not a platform. it has no standard whatsoever. in any case the game looks tight. should have it by next weekend

Montrealien5832d ago (Edited 5832d ago )

What is a platform jetlian? I am interested in your definition.

while I am at it, out of curiosity, can I have a functional computer with just a mothboard, no ram and a screen? Or should I follow the PC standard of having ram, a HDD, a mother board, a proccesor and a videocard? all conected to a screen? And also, does windows have standards?

I am sorry, but your comment just makes no sense what so ever to me. just one flaw in your statement, by definition alone, an operating system is a computing platform.

Bolts5832d ago

Jetlian clearly has no idea what a platform is.

jetlian5832d ago (Edited 5832d ago )

part of "No standard whatsoever" do you not understand. You buy a pc game you have to "HAVE TO" look at its spec to see if you can play the game. A 360,wii,ps3 or any other system so long as the game is for that system theres nothing to worry about.

Even this... how many PC's did NPD show sold from jan - march 31? They don't include pc sales in a game consoles sales. Another thing Who is the first party leader on PC gaming? For wii=nin, ps3=sony, 360=MS PC= who?

Not to mention the fact that ME2 is clearly heads above Alpha Protocol, thats not to say its a bad game at all.

Kahvipannu5832d ago

Obviously you haven't played ME. You should, ME1 combined ME2 is one of the greatest things in gaming.

Play games, not platforms.

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.

TheNamelessOne687d 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.

ZeekQuattro687d 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.

TheColbertinator687d 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.

EvertonFC813d ago (Edited 813d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga813d 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!

LordoftheCritics813d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend812d 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-Long813d ago

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

melons813d ago

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

Skuletor813d 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.

ravens52812d ago

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

monkey602812d 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.

Skuletor813d ago

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

Terry_B813d ago (Edited 813d 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.
