The level of engagement in this game, the storytelling, the detailed files and information intelligence gathering makes this game unique and truly satisfying. This game is highly underrated, and from someone who has played games for over 15 years now, i think it is an injustice to see this game score poorly.

Go Obsidian! And for Zod's sake, take care of those bugs. I give this an undeserved 9 for sticking with what matters most (and it ain't graphics and production values).

I hope there will be sequels because when they improve the mechanics and presentation, there will be no better RPGs around. Yes, overall 'Mass Effect 2' is a better game, but I liked 'AP' much more than the flashier 'Splinter Cell Conviction'. BUT, the game is engaging, higly replayable, dialog options are great, social intelligence is rewarded, the story is deep and intricate, ethical choices have consequences you have to live with, those who read, do research and acquire intelligence are rewarded, you can be steathy as long as you can and then you are allowed to go for loud and unpolished kills (you don't have to restart, you just have to survive the onslaught) and you just get hooked (i played all night because I just could not stop), which is really rare these days.
