Alpha Protocol Reviews

The reception to Obsidian’s Alpha Protocol seems to be improving ever-so-slightly with each new wave of reviews, as you’ll most likely notice from these latest two.

GamingShogun doesn’t do the scoring thing:

Alpha Protocol is a popcorn spy-flick, and whether you choose to go as an ex-soldier, ex-field agent, or even mercenary skill-build you will have a great time playing it through should you look at it as such. There are just enough plot twists to keep things interesting and the interweaving aspects of the game make you want to replay it with different choices to see how things turn out. Those players looking to be Daniel Craig as James Bond, Matt Damon as Jason Bourne, or even Kiefer Sutherland as Jack Bauer will be disappointed.

And Kit Guru Games hits it with a 3.5/5:

Alpha Protocol is far from a perfect game, but if you enjoy spy movies and the Mass Effect ‘style’ of interacting with other NPC’s then it will certainly be worth a look. Sadly for me, the dire A.I. and rather bland enemy characters marred the experience. I would recommend it, but only for those of you who like a rich story and sharp dialogue.
