[Xbox 360 #483] Inside the Toybox

quote:

Like Worcester Sauce, Alpha Protocol's separate ingredients might be slightly unappetising, but they come together in a quietly effective manner. Unlike Worcester Sauce, it will certainly frustrate you more than it should, and in between the deathlike character models and bizarre misapplications of things like depth of field effects, it will struggle to convince you the team had enough time to finish it up.

But, if you're willing to put in the effort, it can steadily win you over. Obsidian can't really compete with the bigger boys in the RPG field, then, but it's carved out a little space to call its own. With ambition instead of budget, and integrity instead of polish, in the end the choice of whether to persevere or not is pretty easy to make.

quote:

On paper, Alpha Protocol sounds incredibly alluring, combining the best elements of the role-playing and action genres with a refreshing concept. In executing that concept, however, the game falls apart at the seams. Ignoring the dialogue system, Obsidian's latest plays like a substandard third-person shooter. Despite its myriad of shortcomings there's a moderate amount of fun to be had with Alpha Protocol. It's a game that's more enjoyable than it probably should be, a game that's better than the sum of its parts. There's a lot of potential hiding under the flawed shell, and although Obsidian has failed to coax it out this time around, I hope somebody does the concept justice in the future.

It's disgusting that a game in this forsaken a state is asking for a single thin dime, let alone sixty bucks. Even if it was free I wouldn't recommend it. Alpha Protocol, to its slim credit, has its basis in noble and ambitious ideas, and those ideas are even well executed on the whole. However, while the ambitious stuff hits the mark, the bog standard gameplay has suffered beyond measure. You can build the most magnificent castle in the world, but if the foundations are made out of wet feces, everything's going to crumble and fall apart before your very eyes. Alpha Protocol is a castle that's collapsed in crap. Proof that even the most accomplished of visions are worthless if the fundamentals aren't in place.

Obsidian and Sega, like the US government portrayed in this very game, are better off denying all involvement in this failed operation.

Zo moeilijk is dat toch niet? RWD auto pakken, ongeveer 200 pk erin. GEEN TURBO!

Bandenspanning achter hoger zetten dan voor, assists uit en gaan.

quote:

The whole level feels like utter chaos and the attention to detail throughout the cityscape environment is incredible – floating papers, flickering shop signs and seemingly meaningless bits of graffiti all divert your attention from the matter at hand. The tanks and copters in the level were perhaps some of the real stand-out moments, although there is just so much going on, so much noise and chaos and gunfire at every turn, that it is hard to identify one thing that defines ‘Slaughterhouse’ in Hue City.

quote:

All-in though, a very promising preview to what could well be, dare we even say it, the best Call of Duty yet.

quote:

Just for added kicks, the mission ended with a mad dash to escape a colossal avalanche that came crashing down on the base. Again, the visuals here were extremely impressive, with huge freezing clouds swirling all around as the player made a desperate sprint for safety. And what with this being a Call of Duty game, safety meant jumping off the edge of a cliff, ice crystals forming at the edge of the screen as the player plummeted into the white void.
