Alpha Protocol carries one of the better dialouge systems i have seen in any game to date, that being said, its not all good in the world of a secret military organization. The story is somewhat bland, but if you enjoy any style of espionage it will probably entice you almost immediatly. For me not being a huge fan of espionage what held me through the game was how my choices honestly effected the world and ultimatly my ending. The graphics are about as good as an original xbox game pushing its limits, but the gameplay helps make up for that. Performing melee attacks can be somewhat frustrating as the AI are poorly designed. Being absolutly stupid on easier difficulties, and smarter than any normal human on hard. Otherwise the shooting controls are good, the RPG esqe character customization is solid, and the gun customization is well above average for what would normally be excpected of an RPG. Overall Fun to play great first time through, but unless your hunting achievments not a huge reason to play through it more than once.

The game is amazing, first of all i want to congradutlate Sega and Obsidion on a great game. I love this game, i got it as soon as it came out and i've been playing ever since. I cant tell you that its a perfect game because lets face it, remember GTA San Andreas? well if you do then expect similiar graphic quality to that.
The weapons available are few but the upgrades for them and the amount of gadgets you get is more than enough to compensate. The game is more than i was expecting, to be honest i thought it would be similiar to james bond, go around and kill everyone, well i can tell you that its more objective oriented. The game is perfect for all ages and all people who enjoy a great espionage centered game.

Alpha protocol isn't the best looking game with the grapics, game play, or other department. If you try to compare it with other A plus games then your in for disapointment. However if you are looking for a ever changing story with replay value, get to customize your own guns and quipment whatever your hear'ts desire then you will like this game. For once your decisions affect the story. I mean hard decisions. I won't spoil anything for you but the choices are endless from choosing between your girl or save millions only one choice you can choose so make it count. As for the tedious controls everyone is complaing about( it's not as smooth as mass effect or not on par with call of duty series or big A list games. I tell you thats good because it's original The soud is decent and graphics are passible but the story is what counts. Once you learn the controls you willl be sucked in you won't wana get out.
