Alpha Protocol is finally out so here is its launch trailer. While many players have put on their cowboy outfit, it might be a bit harder for the game to find its place in the sun.

I'm getting this. Because I'm also getting the impression it's doing one thing very well, and that thing is kind of cool.
Doesn't look too good graphically (will certainly be improved on PC in the future), but i think the RPG and story parts should be the strong points?
Won't buy it for now though, will wait a weekend deal :(
Obsidian's RPG pedigree SHINES
Obsidian's action pedigree... well... its non-existence shows
unfortunately Obsidian felt the need to add their take on the shooter/rpg fad that is the flavor of the month for WRPGs these days
which means half this game is bloody awesome
the other half just makes you want to cut yourself in frustration
on the bright side you can avoid the poorly implemented action elements to a certain degree, but not completely
and the fact that you'd want to avoid the action somewhat affects the malleability of the design
so... its a bit of what, and how much, are you willing to ignore in order to enjoy the good half.
A good game for simplified console style RPG buffs, but don't expect the shooting to be especially good.
I hope they make a second part. Just get a designer that knows how a good shooter works and perhaps brush up a little on the GFX side and we have a game worthy of toppling Mass Effect any day.
appeasement is the metacritic 90% for Mass Effect 1 original console release, a game with enough technical glitches to have dropped any other game down to at least the 8s. but thanks to being a Bioware game, got complete excused
Alpha Protocol's getting fairly poor reviews (66% metacritic)
if that's your idea of appeasement, you have a pretty funny impression of appeasement
*shakes fist*
