What could have been
User Rating: 5 | Alpha Protocol X360
I decided to pick this game up a little while ago to check it out since it was fairly cheap. However, after playing through it I kind of regret it. While some aspects of the game were pretty interesting, they all fell short of the glory the game could've been. Spending a little more time refining the graphics. and creating a longer more enticing story line would've have done this game some good. Also, when I play RPGs I tend to want a more open world experience, while it wasn't stuck on rails it surely was very linear and lacking side quests. Its the little things that made this game lack in greatness. I thought that the combat in the game was pretty good, just felt like a third person shooter. I think that's what was most disappointing about the game, it lack the correct RPG elements. RPGs are mouch more than just simply leveling up and purchasing weapons and armor. It's the ability to choose what you want to do and when you want to do it that really makes an RPG great. Alpha Protocol was a third person shooter that allowed the character to level up.
