It's a lot better than the fatty nerd journalists in the game industry give it credit for.

Sure the combat is heavily RPG based, but for some reason, that's only *bad* when Alpha Protocol does it and not Ass Effect or KoToR right?

Bioware gets automatic worship for making D&D games OVER AND OVER AGAIN.

Yeah the game is buggy. But it's only bad when Alpha Protocol does it...and not when, like Red Dead Redemption does it?

Oh right Rockstar game REVIEWS MUST HAVE MORE NERD JIZ.

The dice roll thing I keep hearing about and let me say this about it.

IT'S A FLAT OUT LIE. Playing the game me and my friends have never ONCE seen a bullet magically fly through someone and not hit them. If a silly "roll to hit" mechanic is there, then it is most definitely not as obnoxious as Morrowind's system was. But hey Bethesda game automatic 10/10 lol.

Alpha Protocol isn't perfect, it's got some flaws and its broken in plenty of places. But the industry is savaging it for the dumbest reasons. Pretty much every reason the journalists hate AP boils down to "WAAAHHH IT'S NOT SPLINTER CELL!!!! I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!"

Don't worry though, i'm sure all the reviewers will be back to complaining "games don't innovate" in a year or so.
