Finally a review that doesn't rip off on this game like others.
After a full playthrough I really enjoyed and was baffled by the sheer ammount of choices and consequences that you go through the game,unlike any other I have seen before.
I could turn a blind eye to the sometimes buggy dialogue and liked the game overall.

If people like Deus Ex you should be aware that a fantastic mod came out for it a year or so ago. The Nameless Mod was in development for seven years, is fully voiced with professional production values, good game length and the same great gameplay as the original Deus Ex.
Anyone who enjoyed the original should give it a whirl:

I'm sure you have the funds to get out of this terrible excuse for a country, Yahtzee. Why are you still here?
Anyway, this review annoyed me. You rip on games like Red Dead Redemption, complaining about stuff that you clearly didn't even know you could get around. But you were generous to such an awful game like Alpha Protocol.
What gives?

Thank you for so much for pointing out confusing dialogue choices. So many times do games have choices of words that don't tell you at all what it will actually say. Heavy Rain did this as well. Often times I would be trying to play the nice guy and I click on a button thinking he'll say something nice, but ends up smacking them in the face! If you're only going to have three choices like that, just say "nice," "mean," or "neutral." Don't say "car," "face," or "bird" unless it would absolutely make sense for it to be used in that situation (such as they went off on a long paragraph and you want to hear more about the bird).
But, as always, it was entertaining.

I know, Warforger. For a couple weeks, I'd see that ad for Alpha Protocol whenever I started up a video on the Escapist. I saw that ad so many times, that line "That airliner was his first target...and we want you to kill him" has carved its place into my brain. -_- Hell, I totally expected to see an Alpha Protocol pop-up ad to appear at the start of this video.Warforger said:
I managed to enjoy Alpha Protocl in spite of it's very real flaws. The reason seems simple enough - it delivered on the idea that choice had repercussions well enough to make me forget that the story just meandered around until it's conclusion. The action mechanics were functional at best, but struck me as being incredibly similar to those found in Deus Ex, which remains my favorite game to date.
Perhaps it was because of my fond memories of Deus Ex that I was willing to overlook the more damning flaws of the game. I suspect ths may be what made Yahtzee uncharacteristically forgiving in his review as I would assume that Deus Ex probably sat well with him as well.

I wonder if he meant Christen Bale for his outburst on the set of Terminator, but that was a long time ago... Also doesn't seem like a Yahtzee mistake...Sinclose said:
Awesome review And Yhatzee knows who John Barrowman is! Which only proves that he agrees that, no matter your sexuality, you would hit that
