PlayDevil: Updated Alpha Protocol PS3 Review

PlayDevil has posted an updated review of Obsidians' espionage RPG, "Alpha Protocol".

While it has been delayed numerous times, is it still worth buying?

Here's more:

In regards to narrative, Alpha Protocol has all the excitement and intrigue that any good spy story legally should and the game itself does a good job of making you feel as if you’re a secret agent: there are dossiers you can read, allowing you to read up on the characters and the organisations you meet.

i haven't played it yet but i'm sure its a solid game. it looks like something i'd enjoy.

fredfenster5734d ago

It sucked, sold it after playing half an hour. I'll pick it up one day though, but this is bargain bin material.

thisguywithhair5734d ago

You sold it after an hour? An hour is barely past the training missions. How can you judge the game when you haven't even gotten to the first real level? Do you throw out sandwhiches before the first bite simply because they don't feel like the best sandwhich ever?

Play the game, one hour with anything is never enough time to truly judge anything. please don't ever give an opinion on anything ever again unless you actrually have one.

thisguywithhair5734d ago

Try it, pkay it at least as far as the end of Desert Spear. You will either need to know by then or you will hate the game. I personally loved the game and actually played through three times (unheard of for me). In those three playthroughs I got as many five different endings (from replaying the last mission in different ways). It is that deep.

fredfenster5734d ago

I had that first bite and it just didn't taste like 50 bucks. But I agree, a bit early saying it sucked after just playing for an hour or so.

GamerKnights5734d ago

The graphics could be a lot better, it's just that you're playing a PS2 title but the engaging story makes the game a bit better. And when playing it more and more, you'll appreciate the effort Obsidian went through of bringing an espionage rpg.

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.

TheNamelessOne646d 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.

ZeekQuattro645d 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.

TheColbertinator645d 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.

EvertonFC772d ago (Edited 772d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga772d 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!

LordoftheCritics772d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend771d 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-Long772d ago

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

melons772d ago

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

Skuletor772d 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.

ravens52771d ago

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

monkey602771d 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.

Skuletor772d ago

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

Terry_B771d ago (Edited 771d 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.
