Bit-Tech: Alpha Protocol Review

Bit-Tech writes: "We’re willing to overlook specific weaknesses based on the merits of the experience as a whole – to cite it again, we still love Deus Ex despite the terrible graphics and stiff combat, but Alpha Protocol frankly doesn’t have enough strengths to qualify."

before any one flame me , watch youtube walkthrough,i canceled my pre oder

- dumb AI
- bad visual and animation,
- lame character movement

BeaArthur5801d ago

He does move really funny, especially while crouching. I don't know how they looked at that and didn't think it should be changed.

Smkt5801d ago

the shooting looked crap aswell, but maybe it gets better after you level up...

a shame really.. i had high hopes for this game :(

PoSTedUP5801d ago

thats your opinion bro, i will defiantly take it into consideration when "thinking" about buying this game.

5/10.. maybe worth a bargain bin purchase in a few years. i like to give games a chance ; )

knight6265801d ago

i been playing this and the idea is not that bad but i do agree the ai is kind of dumb

Cold 20005801d ago

Have to admit the game does look pretty lame. Thought it had potential...watched a couple of previews...and lost interest lol.

VileAndVicious5801d ago

What is bit-tech again??
Im still buying this game regardless.

Obsidian is famous for their terrible presentations. However, the reason why their fan base has continually expanded is because of their masterly told stories and game mechanics. Again, when I refer to mechanics, I'm not talking about how the game played, but the ideas behind the systems involved. This is just one such case of great idea but poor execution. Hopefully, a sequel, if there is one, will improve on the basis. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to support this game. I'll pick up a copy in a week or two. Obsidian just needs some more staff: experienced staff. My sale will help them towards that goal. ;)

Parapraxis5801d ago (Edited 5801d ago )

I got riffed on for saying the animation looked awful...hmm

I have a feeling we'll be seeing similar reviews from most sites.

...nothing like the RPG spy romp we were promised. While this is just one review I do hope that this score isn't reflective of the average.

itani5801d ago

Wanted to get this game but got Modnation Racers instead. Awesome game!

BeaArthur5801d ago

Seems low but after seeing a few videos for this game I had a feeling it was going to be average at best.

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.

TheNamelessOne655d 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.

ZeekQuattro655d 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.

TheColbertinator655d 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.

EvertonFC782d ago (Edited 782d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga782d 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!

LordoftheCritics781d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend781d 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-Long782d ago

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

melons782d ago

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

Skuletor781d 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.

ravens52781d ago

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

monkey602781d 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.

Skuletor781d ago

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

Terry_B781d ago (Edited 781d 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.
