Alpha Protocol impressions, as they arrive..

So Alpha Protocol finally turned up in the mail - which was good, since I'm on the 3g network for a week or so.

Anyway - so I'm going to write a review. But as we all know, the chemicals you smell when opening the wrapping of a new game typically will make you lose all critical sense and mysteriously look for things to like about the game, even if it sucks.

So I'm going to type down some impressions as I play, and just pick at things I notice.

So far, the garish logo and the backdrop seems to set the style: electronic spy-action with inordinate attention to detail. Let's see if Ian Flemming would be proud, or if this is closer to the comic book adaptation of his works - or perhaps it is a more modern spy-story with misplaced 80's references no one gets. :)
