  • can you quick save in the PC version? Loved Deus Ex (the original) on account of that!

  • I've played worse games.

  • any1 reply a or b plees make it quick I REpeat!

  • i rented this game once. it was OK just the bypass securitys r frustrating! and the lockpicking.

  • i didnt like the character creation tht much y not also female. sorry somtimes my comments dont make sense. i cant stop trolling this game. i liked mass effect but... idk about buying this AP. wat shood i do: A. buy it, B. skip it. type in A or B and see wat u think but make it quick.

  • Idk..I think the game is pretty interesting. Really fun to play.

  • I guess when it comes down to it, quality of this game depends on the quality of the player.

  • No one mentioned how incredibly camp the main character sounds.

  • yeah, the aiming needs some time to get used to it and stealth isn't really existing.

    but on the other side - there will never be any stealth action like mgs again.

    the industry likes to prduce pseudo-suave games that mix different genres and there are a lot of ad examples of that.

    alpha protocol gives an interesting idea a try and if you get into it, it's worthwhile.

  • I bought it, but I don't think I will play it. Ever. Damn Steam.

  • 6 $ on steam broooooooooooo

  • The game is freaking damn brillant. i love it!!! Its such a good game i play it so much o my god

  • worst 14 bucks i ever spent

  • I hated this game with a passion. It was trying to be like deus ex or mass effect but failed at it. The overall story was ok but the gameplay was just extremely unfun. I love hybrid games but this one just didn't click.

  • i Freaking love this game!

  • why do all the big name reviewers hate good games, maybe they just suck at it, yeah it feels weird when you first start playing it but by the end of the tutorial i had it down,if you wanna bitch about how its different then go fuck yourself

  • those reviews abt this game r so unfair, i really enjoyed this game .. n it was a lot of fun

  • Despite what the reviews says, I think it's a pretty entertaining and fun game.

  • why the fuck do i have to listen to some annoying background music while watching a game review?

  • I don't care about the review, I just pay'd 2$ on it D: who knows, it may be fun

  • "This review is marred by the horrendously annoying guitar music playing in the background..."

  • @PcCareable well.. I just installed it , and, it sucks. but its 2bucks anyway xD

  • is it just me or does this a bit look like "Deus Ex Human Revolution" BETA???? just a thought.....

  • @BigZ198410 lol exactly wat i thought

  • 2 bucks... i dont care how bad this game is

  • $2 on steam. Uhhhhh ok buy

  • DAMN! I've already bought it

    NOO

  • @PcCareable Idk, I just buy it, I dont even know if I'm gonna play it xD

  • Fuck all you haters yeah the gameplay doesn't click but it still works, I care the most about the story and characters and this game does all that well and gives you alot of choices which actually influence the story and your abilities. Plus the game has the best conversation options out of any rpg. Screw you all this was the best rpg of 2010 better than the piece of shit Fable 3 and the overrated Mass Effect 2 and Fallout New Vegas. My props to Obsidian I can't wait for the sequel.

  • I bought this game for 2 dollars!!! I don't care if it sucks!!! It's 2 fucking dollars!!!

  • @PcCareable You're not goin to die because of spend two dollars

  • $2 on steam right now!

  • @ransom0122. thaaaat's why I'm here!

  • @ransom0122

    worth every penny of those two bucks

  • i dont see how people hate this game sure it some bugs but its still fun thats the best part

  • @xBBRLx I know right

  • It would be awesome if the guys who made Deus Ex Human Revolution would pick up the sequel it would be a very interesting concept plus the much better polish.

  • @wheresmyhoneybytch I can hardly imagine that Square Enix would want to take over this IP from SEGA though, it would be more profitable for them to start from scratch. But the game had some ambition for sure.

  • I won all my boss battles with my pistol -.- == The pistol perk kills bosses easily when you shot them 5 times in the head.

  • 15-20 play through? Are the people at gamespot mentally challenged?

  • Game critics be some whiny bitches. This is the first time I've ever thought critics have given a game an unfairly low score, since they normally seem to just suck everything off.

    This game is better than the vast majority of RPG's released this generation, including Mass Effect. All of the criticisms for AP, except perhaps the visuals, can be leveled at ME as well. Granted ME came out in 2007, but AP does some things even better. Critics displayed a massive double standard with this game.

  • i loved this game! i dont know why people hate it so much...

  • 6 pounds at CEX... sold

  • Is it worth 10 bucks?

  • @MateiDark Definitely. It's a fun game that's good for a 2 or 3 playthroughs.

  • @TORCHWOOD006 im on my fourth and i'm still enjoying it :D

  • First of all:

    Fuck IGN

    Fuck Gamespot

    Fuck G4

    This game is not that bad. Ima big spy fan so i really enjoyed this game. Yes i know the AI is retarded and the game itself is glitchy, but its still a good game that coulda been made into a sequel that could fix and make better the original game.

    However

    Thanks to the cheap bastard reviewers i listed above who expect a "Mass Effect" outta every RPG that comes out and gave this game a bad review, we wont be seeing that. >:(

  • @DuketheAssassin Wow. Why do you even watch reviews if you're going to disagree with ALL of them?! How about you upload your own review instead of bitching about the ones you don't like?

  • @SteelerEagleFan ACTUALLY........I was but i was having uploading problems so i quit. And I do watch reviews and im generally satisfied with their reviews, but I have a problem with the major reviewer's ones (G4, Ign, Gamespot) because they gave it such low scores. AP has horrible AI, glitches (for me) sometimes but its still an ok game. And maybe you should stop BITCHING about other peoples opinions. Of course people will have objecting views to somethings. Its human nature bro.

  • @DuketheAssassin I wasn't wondering what you thought of the game. I was just making it clear that you see that these game companies (btw, you forgot Gametrailers) giving AP a bad score and it just doesn't make sense to you that it might be a bad game. And guess what. As you put it, people will have objecting views to something, just how these reviewers have objecting opinions to yours. So, basically, you were bitching about their opinions of the game, doing what you told me not to do, hypocrite.

  • @SteelerEagleFan Ok that was hypocritcal I appoligize.

    BTW have you played AP?

  • @DuketheAssassin No. I've seen 5 reviews of it - all ranging from mediocre to very average reviews - and they kind of deterred me from spending money on it. Also, I've seen it being played (not on YouTube), and I was still not impressed.

  • @SteelerEagleFan well i recomend it as a rent. its actually an ok game. you may get tired of it after a while (i traded it in to Gamestop last year) . If your into choose your own advendture then u might get interested. Theres several different ways u can play and they influence the story on how you play. the only good thing in the game is the way u can talk (the Stance dialougue or whatever).

  • @DuketheAssassin Mass Effect 1 and 2 seem like the perfected versions of this game. Or at least they achieved what this game wanted to be. Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't think any of my hard-earned money will be going towards a game that I'm not really interested in playing.

  • I'm loving how the top two comments are contradicting each other...

  • @PrestonW1985 I hate that.

    

  • goodreview

  • These guys expect to much from a RPG. Go play Fallout New Vegas on a console and tell me them graphics are better then this game. Go play Dragon Age and tell me them graphics are better then this game. You won't, cause their not. Yeah it has a few bugs but so does all the other games, even worse bugs then this, all rpg has them.

  • @legolia

    You cant bring Fallout or Dragon Age into this discussion since both of those games features a world at least ten times bigger than the one we see in AP. AP features 20-or-so missions where you don't just talk, and some of those are really short. With New Vegas however; I'm 50 hours into the game and I'm still finding things I haven't seen before. Both Fallout and Dragon Age feature many more voices and characters than Alpha Protocol which roughly has 28 that are named.

  • if you want this game, buy it cheap, i picked it up for $20.

  • @stickfig77 7 pounds :P

  • @stickfig77 Or get it on Steam for $4.99

  • heheh... he said " finesse the rod"

  • i love the story

  • I like this game got it cheap was worth it

  • wow..... this review was so much more informative than igns...

  • /v/ approves of this game.

    Nuff said.

  • didnt they say the same thing on ign?

  • people still complain about these quality of graphics???

    no reason for graphics to be any better. and the A.I doesnt seem stupid to me, just watched a dude play this for a while and the enemies seemed to be using half decent "tactics".. and what gamer hasnt ever accidentally climbed a ladder before?? glad to see the a.i do that too for a change :)

  • @voidremoved on my experience while some guards are attacking you others don't seem to notice and they continue their patrol

    so your shooting a guard in the face while a guard is walking AWAY from you

  • @animals68 My bro told me long ago that such behaviour by guards is "realistic"

    like. mother russia isnt paying me enough to die. if i pretend i dont hear it, and i dont see it i dont have to shoot at it nor get shot at and im only allowed 10 bullets and must smoke 50 cigarettes

  • @voidremoved "mother russia isnt paying you?" are u russian military? Like Spetnaz?

  • @DuketheAssassin sorry i have never heard of russian, military or spetnaz im not religious tho anyways but thanks for the curiosity

  • so the clothes clip into the characters even when they're standing still in a pre-rendered cutscene? awesome

  • @jakethesnake10000 it's not pre-rendered

  • i liked it

  • What is the name of the song? Please I want to know.

  • the gaming sites, including Gamespot have no idea any more! Even Gamespot doesn't know what the features of an RPG anymore!

  • Had such high hopes for this

  • Can I watch a review without some goddamn rock wannabe music always playing in the background?

  • It has been a looooooooong time since I head a honest review

  • there is nothing perfect in real world!Now i think thats a Fact.I have seen the article where the cop got a bullet into the head and was able to fight back.So i will consider this game more or less good!Thank u

  • Alpha Protocol is a good RPG game and well written. what the editor seems to not understand is that the game requires that you focus your abilities (sneak/combat/engineer). you can't pretend to master the pistol if you don't invest your XP on that (as I see in vid,.. and pistol is the best gun and you can kill almost everyone with a single shot).

  • I loved this game....I though it was a Bioware wanna be but what ever. I thought it was really fun

  • SEGA opted to push this game ahead instead of Aliens: Colonial Marines. This unfinished mess was given the OK before a highly anticipated soon to be (if ever released) masterpiece.

    Even the developers admitted they should've cancelled Alpha Protocol, and gone with Colonial Marines instead.

  • i thought this game was pretty good

  • i finished it. yay

  • This game was so awful. Playing the stealth class is impossible.

  • @Spherical3 yup.... game sux balls

  • coming from someone who is far into the game and didnt just play 5 min of it then review like this idiot did the only problem with this game is the hit detection its kinda off at times other then that its a great addictive game cant always go by what reviewers say its better to check out the demo and have your own opinion

  • just imagine.. you work 2 years like hell to make this game and some reviewer completely destroys the finished product with a bad review. that must be a bummer :) 

  • the game has bugs?

    the reviewer has bugs.

  • @TehAnkh

    I don't know why, but that comment made me laugh so hard.

  • @TehAnkh ill agree with them there are afew bugs mostly the shooting bug.

  • @TehAnkh ? alpha protocol has broken npcs

  • @TehAnkh fuck this reveiwer he has bugs

  • @TehAnkh No he has std's! Haha I forgot what STD I was thinking of....

  • well i heard or read on the net that it will be a alpha protocol 2.

  • @XTORD1 sega announced that there will be no sequel, that sad, i see potential!

  • @TheZombieTerrorist yh k thx yh a next game would be gd

  • My brother got me this game for christmas, its actually really good, but the only thing I hate is the AI.

  • The game is very fun

    In my opinion, this is better than Mass effect

  • @lordzilu1584 really man cuz im gettin this game. Should I get it??

  • @eliobyrne

    Now this game is very cheap, so I think it's worth it

    If you like RPG you should get it. From Product perspective, this game is not as good as Mass effect 2

    But from story and RPG perspective, this game is better than Mass effect 2 for sure

  • This game had so much potential. Its a shame they didnt finished the game and because of that this game will dissapear

  • it looks as if the only thing wrong with it is the combat

    to be honest im suprised they didnt delay it and try to fix some asspects

    its on steam for £5 so i might as well give it a go

  • i like gamespot reviews better than ign reviews. ign seems to only like games if theyre big names like Halo, Gears, God of War, etc.

  • @AutomatikSynthetik they like super meat boy

  • @AutomatikSynthetik thats a small game

  • @Sharkey3331 which one?

  • i wouldnt buy it just because of the god awful glasses the main character seems to always wear.

  • what is the song? is it from the game? sounds pretty awesome

  • IGN IS MANIPULATED...

  • This is EXACTLY how I felt about Army of Two.

  • so is the gameplay really that bad?

  • mgs4 ai isnt that impressive either. they also walk in front of you, and out of nowhere they start investigating etc. and one time i shot this guy beside him and he reported that the area is secure.. see. mgs4 is just so popular that they overlook quirks like that and reviewers just mercilessly bash this game.

  • @waliver15 You just reminded me of when I played the MGS4 demo a long time ago, thought, "Wow, this is fucking terrible," and never thought about the game ever again.

  • yea i know graphics dont really matter if the game is like amazing

  • @miggypiggyful i really agree wth you, like Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory and SC:Double agent arent that really great in graphics but i like it better than MW2 srsly!

  • @ace0931

    why would you compare totally different games? O_o

    its like putting SIMS and QUAKE in the same sentence.

  • @kickedsazabi wtf u talking about? im talking about the GRAPHICS not the game, =.= can read?

  • if you judge a game by its graphics i say fuck you

  • dieing was the most fun in this game

  • this game's graphic is lame for a 2010 game. Animation is bad.

  • @johnchen0213

    Completely agree, I bought this game a few days ago. The game itself is quite good but the graphics are seriously lacking.

  • Gamespot's review is amazing when compared to IGN. The reviewer sounds INTERESING rather than the drawling and boring sound of the IGN review, and they STILL manage to make a more in-depth review as well.

    Think I'll be trusting gamespot.

  • i love the way the review ended rofl

  • this game is only 7.5 Euro on steam for today!!

  • @Mattebubben wanan buy me the game :) send to xAGCx hahahah

  • This is a rip-off of Mass Effect, except in the modern day, and it's a hundred times worse.

  • I wonder, have they released patches and stuff to deal with all the issues?

  • game has MASSIVE potential, goddamn shame it was ruined, i have a feeling it was the publisher who forced them to push it out when clearly it wasn't ready, which happens to alot of games that had insanely good potential.

    also don't let bad reviews turn you from the game, it is FUN and you CAN get it for under 10$ every month during gamefly sales, it's well worth 10$

  • @Brand0nAV its also on sale on steam for 7 dollars today

  • people are so spoiled. The fat fucker reviewing this game is another activision whore. This game was great, a breath of fresh air for real gamers. Plus, you get to up your achievement or trophy score with an easy game. Stop bitching,

  • i've played this game..........around 8 minutes

  • GAMESPOT=RULE :D  IGN=FAILS :|

  • The game picks up after Saudi Arabia and isn't half bad once you get past the obvious flaws.

  • @XsUp3rDuBzX their scores given were barely different...

  • @XsUp3rDuBzX

    You mean the Gamespot that fired a editor for writing a negative review for Kane and Lynch? At least, IGN didn't do that... yet ;P

  • @XsUp3rDuBzX GAMESPOT = Tries... IGN = Fails...

    Cause I still have seen GAMESPOT doing really shitty reviews ... for example Splinter Cell Conviction... the guy was a moron -.-

  • @XsUp3rDuBzX IGN is good to get gaming news, but reviews? No way.

  • Main character talks exactly as the guy from Burn Notice, i even think that he's name is Michael too

  • JUST BEAT THE FIRST 3-4 LEVELS and it gets better :)

  • omg I lol'd at the dude randomly climbing the ladder xD

  • i've never played a game that is SO underrated, and yes: its one of best fucking games i ever played! and i played alot ;)

    guys try this game, give it a fair chance and stop bitchin about graphics all the time!

  • @JohnomenalMagician both IGN and Gamespot does what masser tells em... sad

  • @JohnomenalMagician it is  sooo shit

  • Let's hope Obsedian can redeem themselves with Fallout New Vegas considering what a trainwreck Alpha Protocol was...

  • WTF is this a ps2 game?? looks ucking shiyte

  • i never played the game but it doesn't look too good....

  • they shouldnt have released this game on consoles where presentation is the fad. This is the new Stalker, marred by bugs and poorly presented but had a lot of depth. I wonder if the Stalker series would have been released on consoles despite being loved by the PC crowd, it would have gotten horrible reviews and gotten low sales. buy this game if you are intrigued by it.

  • without even playing this game its either gonna be a game you will quite like despite its flaws or hate with a passion. for approx £10 surely its worth a bash?

  • Game is underrated.

  • im worried about fallout new vegas :S

  • this game dont look to bad il give it a try

  • WOW.. are these douche bags just paid to bitch about games that developers put hundreds of hours of hard work and passion into? Must be nice to be a Siskel & Ebert critic and diss EVERY game that comes across your desk and still get a paycheck.. these assholes need to be put to sleep lmao.

  • 4:17 Oh hes shooting at me i think ib better climb this ladder lol what stupid game

  • they tried doing what mass effect doing. too bad it didint work out

  • nice hat...

    douche.

  • @TrollUtube you suck at trolling

  • @perfectdark0764

    You suck dick

  • This game should not be played by dumb Americans period.

  • @TrollUtube I agree with perfect dark hahahah you really do suck at trolling hahah

  • @Lotsoffun111

    My choccy starfish says fuck you too.

  • @TrollUtube hahahahahahhahahahahha how old are you? Cause your comebacks are shitty maybe you should learn how to troll from trolling masters like IShatOnU cause your trolling just sucks

  • @Lotsoffun111

    Hey 2bit American Im not a troll and I don't give a fuck about comebacks, you are a sad cunt - how old are you sad fuck.

  • @TrollUtube what else is very amusing is that your a sad person cause you have to troll to feel like a human and im not American which is also funny how you always bring that up lol

  • @Lotsoffun111

    AWWW why you gone all serious.

    I never trolled I stated a FACT: This game should not be played by DUMB Americans.

    Look up 2bit knobsock it's binary for second rate American - a thick fuck Canadian like yourself.

    You and your sad little fuck American friend are doing the trolling it's OK with me.

  • @TrollUtube So i assume you a intelligent american? I see you creeped my profile what are you then? This game is one of the worst games ive ever played

  • @Lotsoffun111

    Creeped your profile, you wish, if it's the worst game you have played then you must suck at it royal
