Well, we’ve got just a few weeks to go until the long-awaited Alpha Protocol is FINALLY released and today we get a bit more insight into the game via this “Small World” trailer. The vid showcases the global nature of the game by highlighting the various locales and ensuing drama that will take Agent Michael Thorton around the world one tactical espionage mission at a time.

Having been o the bandwagon early for this one, I’m kind of getting cold feet as we near launch. As I’ve stated many times before, I think the concept of the game is fantastic, but having seen it demoed a while back and having watched the vast majority of media leading up to launch, I’m a bit worried that the game won’t live up to expectations for various reasons. I do, however, truly hope that my worries will be laid to rest by a core gameplay experience that delivers both choice and consequence. I hope there is a good balance between the game’s RPG and action elements, that the presentation is top notch, and most of all, I hope to immerse myself in an engaging (non-cheesy) story set iin a world that I grow to care about with characters that are both meaningful and memorable.

As long as my hopes aren’t too high, right???
