Alpha Protocol anyone else enjoy this
I picked Alpha Protocol up in CEX the other day for £3, having heard a lot of bad reviews I expected a bad game but I found a gem buried under a huge pile of sh**. For all the games problems (And there are many) there is actually a great idea hidden away under them.
Despite all the games problems I am actually enjoying seeing how the story and character relationships develop depending on your actions.

I think a sequel would be pretty good (but incredibly unlikely too).
The way it got forgotten kind of reminds me of The Saboteur (which was a far better game imo).
Its a shame we will never see a sequel. Lots of potential there.
Evolving the story reminds me of games like Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead. Its such a shame that so much about the game is wrong which really dilutes the great idea Obsidian tried to pull off with this game. Because of all the problems this game has I find it hard to say its good, the frame rate is poor, the controls are clunky, the graphics are ugly even the cut scenes have loads of graphical glitches but the story and character development is really something special. The best way to describe this game is enjoyable if you enjoy a good spy story, the RPG elements complement what they tried to do as well.
I am glad to see some other people have managed to discover the gem hidden away under what is frankly on the face of it a sh** game.
The Saboteur was awesome. Once you got past the annoying introduction missions to travel to Germany for a Race the game really opened up into something special. The use of black and white which changed to colour as you liberated an area was brilliant and the almost 'Allo Allo' acting added a certain comical charm to the characters and setting.
