Is a life of international conspiracy all it's cracked up to be? Crush! Frag! Destroy!'s Rob Thomas offers his take on Sega and Obsidian's recent super-spy RPG, Alpha Protocol:
"Who is Mike Thorton? A suave, sometimes sarcastic flirt? A focused professional who does the right thing, no matter the cost? An impatient, short-tempered, aggressive alpha-male? While this may sound a little bit schizophrenic, the answer is simple enough: he’s all of these things. As an operative with Alpha Protocol, a shadow agency that allows the government to conduct covert ops with full deniability, Mike Thorton is whatever kind of man you want him to be.
"But does Obsidian Entertainment’s super-spy RPG manage to shift personalities as effortlessly as its protagonist? Can Alpha Protocol overcome a glut of technical issues long enough for us to peel off the mask and see if the core game underneath is really worthwhile? That’s what we’re here today to find out."
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
CEO Haruki Satomi said Sega will "take these lessons into account for future initiatives"
Rovio “found it difficult to advance its initially planned business development,” says Sega.
Sounds like a rental.
I tried this game out and I did not like it at all. It felt like it was rushed and they were using either a old engine or a engine they did not put a lot of work into. It is a shame because it was pushed back to "polish" the game and it just turns out to be crap.
Cueil-true true! I quite like this game and can overlook most of it's broken features as it's a lot of fun to play but my friend hates it and traded it in. But, then again, he also couldn't into Mass Effect or Dragon Age.....why does he buy RPG's...?
