Since for some reason my post didn't go through the first time... lets try this again.

I would go that far personally.... there are plenty of game from this gen that I personally think are much worse than Alpha Protocol. Sonic 06, Sonic Unleashed, Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe, Mafia II, Dead Island (With its numerous bugs & insane difficulty in single player) & MGS 4 (considering that it was essentially a interactive movie more than a game) being key examples that instantly come to mind.

Just started playing. I must say so far I really like the gameplay and the presentation. Movement feels nice - it's more responsive than most games and I never feel like I'm fighting the controller - and I like the way shooting is handled. It's very "follow the path" right now, but hopefully that's just because it's still the tutorial.

So many negative opinions on this thread... it must be a YMMV thing. The only bad thing I can say about it so far is that it crashed during a load, which is why I'm posting now and not still playing. Well, now to see what the rest of the game's like...
