Basic Game Principles

Alpha Protocol is a Spy Role Playing Game from Sega, developed by Obsidian Entertainment.

Obsidian Entertainment previously developed the RPG Neverwinter Nights 2, and are currently working on Fallout: New Vegas.

Alpha Protocol is said to bring spy elements along with a action packed RPG 3rd person type game. Alot of viewers have mentioned that the spy elements , such as gadgets and sneaking around reminds them of Splinter Cell.

Alpha Protocol Graphics

Firstly i would like to point out that the graphics on the characters look stunning, but i wouldn’t say they are the best for its time. The Graphics overall, including enviroment and game objects are pretty much mediocre pretty much moderate. Running on the Unreal Engine that powered the Hit Unreal Tornament, the game’s graphics are not going to be disapointing.

Gameplay and the Extras

When you speak to NPC’s you are given a set of choices how to reply and also what attitude your character has, in this case Michael Thorton being the main character. All dialogue is spoken so no long reading pages of text which is always a good thing. Most games RPG’s have this now.

Alpha protocol is only going to remain as a single player game, which is common with the spy type games, so unfortunatley the replay ability maybe a low factor for the game. Which may mean that the games life span may not be very long such as big hit games such as Gears of War, and Halo. Which have a massive life span due to their online features.

The game will be covering a wide range of platforms Including: MS Windows, XBOX 360, and Play Station 3.

Alpha Protocol will be relased on the 6th of October 2009
