Alpha Protocol Reviews

Another selection of Alpha Protocol reviews are available for your scrutiny, though once again they’re all over the place.

Bitmob doesn’t provide a score:

I don’t like to give number scores, so I’ll tentatively say that Alpha Protocol is worth a rent. The experience won’t be recreated for another couple years so if u can shell out 6 – 8 dollars for a play through I’d recommend doing so. Just don’t be surprised if the taste is a bittersweet one in the end.

Games Eyeview gives it a 6.5/10:

Honestly, we had high hopes for Alpha Protocol. We were intrigued by the concept and by Obsidian’s RPG pedigree. But unfortunately much of Alpha Protocol falls short of the mark. Inconsistencies in combat, enemy A.I. and overly difficult minigames seriously hamper what could have been a very good overall experience. Despite all that, we enjoyed the story and might be drawn back in for a continuation of the franchise if some of the more serious gameplay flaws can be addressed in the future.

RealGamer gives it a 6.5/10:

As a pure role-playing game, for me Alpha Protocol doesn’t really cut it. Despite some good elements it seems too structured and restrictive, especially when compared to other RPG’s – a key fact which may put many role-playing fans off. Alpha Protocol maybe a role-playing game in name, but for me it felt far to much like an average third person shooter.

HonestGamers gives it a 7/10:

A wonderful RPG masquerading as a lousy action game. It left me desperate for a sequel, but even more desperate for it to be handled by someone who knows what they’re doing.

And HEXUS Gaming gives it a 45%:

Let’s see this sub-genre tackled again, but properly next time. The sad thing is: if Alpha Protocol would have been finished properly this review would have been so different.
