I think this title is a bit of a Cinderella story. Sure, it has some gameplay flaws, but come on, the spy story is fantastic, the RPG mechanics are compelling, and the game itself keeps you glued to the screen until the very end. 8/10

Splinter Cell turned RPG is the best way to describe Alpha Protocol. In most RPGs it is only your final choices that determine how the game ends, and your in-game choices do not significantly affect how the game develops as you play it. In contrast EVERY choice you make in Alpha Protocol will affect not only the ending but also how the game develops as you play it. Your aiming accuracy is bad at first because you need to level up your skills, your weapons are bad at first because you need to purchase better weapons or new parts. This is kind of what you do in RPGs. In shooters your skills are already as good as they get. In RPGs they are not. Yes the gameplay is linear but how the storyline, characters and scenarios develop are not. The core of RPG is 'choice', not just physical open-world type of choice and appearance customization, but also dialogue choices that affect how the game plays and ends. This game may not have an open-world nor appearance customization, but it makes up for it by having a highly complex and dynamic dialogue system where the choices made will affect your gameplay and the story development in a direct way. It has a highly intricate system of cause and effect, more advanced than what Mass Effect, Fallout and Elder Scrolls have delivered. Alpha Protocol is far from a "simple shooter".

Every one has that game, song, band, movie that is generally considered to be "bad", but that they really like. Alpha Protocol is definitely that for me lol. I didnt understand the hate back in the day and I wouldn't understand it now. The acting isnt amazing, but is leaps and bounds better than many big name games. The humor was good and your character feels real. Dialogue choice actually matters, too. Game is a gem of an RPG. The lack of jumping and traversal does suck, but it is even more tolerable now than it was in the past, because games today are just so awful im willing to forgive this in Alpha Prot. Just play it. Trust.
