Alpha Protocol for Xbox 360 Reviews by Gamers

I really do not understand why this game is getting so many bad reviews. X-play's review is even mean.

Sure this game isn't perfect. The graphics are not spectacular and there are a few glitches. The fighting mechanics can be a little clunky and some of the mini games are frustrating.

BUT hidden behind these minor flaws is a pretty great game. And these are minor flaws. The graphics are better than Dragon Age's. The fighting mechanics are a lot less clunky than GTA 4. It's no more glitchy than the first Assassins Creed. And the mini games are far better than those in the first Bioshock. And all of these games I've mentioned are great.

AND what Alpha Protocol does well it does really well. And that is choice and consequence. Your actions in the game have far reaching and deeply felt effects throughout the game. Nearly every NPC can be turned into a friend or a foe or simply killed. Game companies have been attempting to make a game where the consequences of your actions have this much effect for years. The only game that comes this close that I can think of is Heavy Rain and I'm not sure that is even a game.

I highly recommend this game to any RPG lover. I enjoyed it very much and was glad I rented it. If you are the kind of person that likes to see every ending or get every achievement I recommend buying it. The Keep It price on gamefly is VERY reasonable.
