Alpha Protocol Review | Gaming Target

Gaming Target writes:

"I feel bad for everyone involved in Alpha Protocol, because it’s the most blatantly incomplete game I’ve played in years, possibly in my life. The “espionage RPG” wants to be Mass Effect 2 with a Jason Bourne story (which is not a bad idea), but it plays like a GTA III knockoff with a slew of irritating visual glitches. In fact, there are so many glitches that I doubt anyone at Obsidian Entertainment played this game and thought, "Oh yeah, this is ready, we can ship." It’s obvious the bottom fell out somewhere in production and the game was shipped “as is” in an effort to cut losses. It’s really disheartening that a publisher, especially Sega, would dare slap a sixty-dollar price tag on this half-baked package."

even the developer dont believe this game is good. I hope it sells something

Pennywise5819d ago (Edited 5819d ago )

Why would you hope for a P.o.S. game to sell anything? I hope no one buys this game... If a dev can't deliver, maybe they should shut their doors.

Why would anyone want to buy anything that under delivers?

N4GAddict5819d ago

I still might buy it when its cheap

movements5819d ago

I mean, one of the game's dev basically said it was rubbish....

N4GAddict5819d ago

That's very unfortunate. This game has a lot of promise.

SwiderMan5819d ago

Saw this game at E3 2008 where it was being touted at "the game you want to play between ME1 and 2." Funny cause it looked worse than ME1 and released after ME2 due to delays.

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.

TheNamelessOne679d 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.

ZeekQuattro678d 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.

TheColbertinator678d 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.

EvertonFC805d ago (Edited 805d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga805d 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!

LordoftheCritics805d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend804d 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-Long805d ago

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

melons805d ago

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

Skuletor805d 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.

ravens52804d ago

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

monkey602804d 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.

Skuletor805d ago

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

Terry_B804d ago (Edited 804d 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.
