If you loved Metal Gear Solid, you will LOVE this game.
I'll tell you what. I've got really sick and tired of God of War 3 and actually traded that linear hack and slach orb collector for Alpha Protocol. And have been playing it for many hours since. I guess its a matter of taste but overall score of this game is so low because good reviews compete with completely awful ones. Someone gives 8.5 and then someone else gives 2 points.
This IS an RPG. Its not a none-stop actian shooter like. I yet to find a SINGLE bug in this game. What are they all talking about? Its almost like we are playign COMPLETELY DIFFERENT games.
I guess all the kids like non stop action shooters today like a killzone 2 or something like this. I really don't understand. Hands down, this is one great military espionage focused RPG.
