Alpha Protocol Preview

The Bitbag has kicked up a somewhat generic preview of Alpha Protocol, summarizing much of what we already knew about Obsidian’s forthcoming espionage RPG. A snippet:

Not only does choice affect conversations, but also the appearance of your character and what type of spy your character becomes. The game has a robust character customization system which allows you to change the hair style on Thorton, the facial hair style, his clothes, his armor, and the weapons/gadgets he can use. Before going on missions, you can customize guns with silencers, laser sights, or whatever you feel is necessary to complete the mission. You can make Thorton better at stealth or gunplay depending on what type of player you are. Unlike Metal Gear or Splinter Cell, where you get super agents from the get go, in Alpha Protocol you get to actually make your own super spy.

If the amount of diversity, I mentioned above isn’t enough for you yet then consider the fact that in the game you travel all over the world to different and exotic locations. You have access to beautiful safe houses where you have tons of gear at your disposal. The locations of these safe houses include Rome, Saudi Arabia, Moscow, and Taipei. You’re going all over the world in this game which personally appeals a lot to me. Games with multiple locations always bring something new and fresh no matter what part of the game you are playing.
