    Best FPS I have played in a while. No crazy monsters or ghost, just real sci-fi... like half-life 2. The story is also great. The game is not at all difficult (as many suggests in some reviews). I have played it in NORMAL mode and had no problems. I would give it a 10 but because of the shortness (I have finished it in less then 10 hours) it deserves a 9. I hope there will be a sequel!!!

    A really good game. You have to think a lot and use tactics, because the enemies are very powerful. You can't just run and gun, you have think. I also like how there wasn't any dumb monsters, just humans and robots.

    I love this game, it's a real challenge unlike some other FPS i have played. Clever AI and a cool Sci-Fi storyline make this a must have in my opinion. Graphics could be better and the sound isn't earth shattering but the gameplay is great fun.

The weapons are typical shooter fare, but I like the addition of the flame thrower... very cool. The game also takes a nice piece from F.E.A.R. with bullet time, but you need to reload it with Hubbardium (like finding med kits), so you get used to using it more strategically.

    Благо это шутер уже 2007, понятно куда идти, или практически через несколько минут понимает что делать, но несколько затупов было ( 2 по моему )

    Из оружия стандартный набор, молоток ( так и не воспользовался ), пистолет (на удивление в нем не хватало патронов, когда я им пользовался ), дробовик ( только в близи ), автомат (как всегда самая нужная вещь, правда патрон мало ), снайперка ( такое ), гранатомет ( такое ) и гранаты ( когда то пригодились, все их больше не было ).
    Из локаций Станция, марс напоминает его, какой то спутник АЛЬФА ПРАЙМ, собственно название игры, шахты.
    Проходил с модом-фиксом Dominus Prime, решил усложнит себе жизнь, и действительно пол игры я помирал, потом открыл фишку, наклоны имба. Если еще тут замедление как в Chaser, но его было мало, и я им практически не пользовался.
    Есть даже битва с босом, это финал, он меня напугал, но в итоге я разобрался с ним сразу же.
    Шутер не польский, на вечерок) Что понравилось русская озвучка, правда пришлось ставить русификатор, так вот знакомые голоса озвучивают, было приятно слушать.

    This game is really underrated. It reminds me of System Shock 2 and Unreal 2. It is great for a small company to release. I bought it for $2.70 off steam and it is truly worth at least 10. The physics, graphics and hud are great. AI can be dumb sometimes. Voice acting is par, cut scenes should be shorter. The gameplay is standard but it is still fun to play.

    Nothing new, but I found it a fun game nonetheless...It doesn't aspire to be HL2 or Doom3, but it presents a fun, immersive game in it's own manner, and at the price I thought it was a good buy. It doesn't play like a console port but is a solid, down-to-Earth PC adventure/FPS.

    If you play this game with the speech off, it's not that bad. The voice acting is the single most detractor from this game. The levels are all fairly decent, with a nice mix of industrial settings and a fair bit of detail. The AI is pretty bad, but that's more or less standard fare for this caliber of shooter. Overall, not a bad game, not a great game - but definitely worth a look!

    It's a standard corridor FPS with a story. If you like FPS games, there is nothing to complain about here, aside from perhaps the difficulty being a bit too high. I've played on Easy and even then some sections were unusually hard and caused me to die many times.

    The story isn't bad either. Again, it's nothing groundbreaking, but for an FPS game it's pretty decent. Most FPS games don't make anywhere near the effort in the story department as Alpha Prime does. The cutscenes and the radio dialogue sections between the characters were a nice addition to keep the game interesting. Most characters were developed reasonably well in terms of personality.

    The graphics are very nice. Considering the game came out in 2007, those are pretty decent visuals, even by today's standards. The music is also not bad. There are only about 1 or 2 jarring heavy rock tracks, but the rest of the soundtrack is pretty good and gives a nice epic feel to the battles.

    The enemy variety could've certainly used some work. You spend a good 80% of the game just fighting spec ops, which gets repetitive eventually. There are some other gameplay sections added too, like hacking, and using a loader to move boxes out of the way, which is a nice change of pace, even if some sections were quite annoying. The loader in particular was difficult to control, and having to move a dozen of boxes out of the way just felt like a waste of time.

    In general the game is not as bad as the reviews claim it to be. It's just a standard, above average FPS that will keep you entertained for a few hours. If you are into the genre, give it a try, otherwise pass it up.    … Expand

Alpha Prime is certainly the latter. You won’t find anything you haven’t done before but it is handled well and is enjoyable. It has parts of Doom; Red Faction; and a few others. The gun mechanics are solid though and there is a good variety of weapons. The lean function was great. I wish you could toggle aim and toggle crouch but you couldn’t. The graphics were not top notch even at release but it was solid for it’s time. Nothing was an eye sore for it’s era but it was no Far Cry in term of wowing me on release that’s for sure. The story wasn’t extremely deep but it was serviceable and knew to tell just enough to have reason to keep going. That being said a lot is made of Glomar and their heart but not a lot ox explanation is given as to just what it is or how it works. The music was a kinda typical soundtrack for an FPS game but once again got the job done. The voice acting was a bit stiff but not terrible. The one mechanic that was bad was the driving section. The handling on the buggy was just terrible. Luckily this was just one level and only lasted maybe a half hour. The AI wasn’t super great either as the enemies would block each other and had repetitive dialogue but they managed to provide a decent challenge due to lack of ammo on some sections and them doing a fair bit of damage against you even on the normal difficulty. The final boss however was extremely easy in comparison. Their one attack was easy to dodge and I had saved up enough rockets by the end that they didn’t stand a chance.

    I played Alpha Prime on Linux using Valve’s Proton. The game never crashed but I did notice two bugs. First even though I turned subtitles off the game still had them. Secondly there was one time where the game made it so that I couldn’t advance. Basically I pressed the button to bring an elevator down but it never started moving. I had to reload my last save and try again which it then worked. The stairs were borderline a bug though as if you stopped moving on stairs you started slowly sliding down them but that seems like janky physics rather than a bug. You can manually save whenever you want and there didn’t seem to be a limit on how many saves you could have. There were three AA settings; three AF settings; and fourteen other settings. There was not a v-sync option though which meant my GPU was running hotter than it normally would have given the visual detail as it was churning out over 600 FPS at times. Luckily I didn’t notice any tearing. You can’t change the difficulty setting once you start the game. Performance was great as you can imagine from me saying that. There was one small supply room where the frame rate tanked strangely while inside of it but while strange the frame rate “tanking” was still above 60 FPS.

    Game Engine: Enforce
    Game Version Played: 1.3
    Disk Space Used: 1GB

    CPU Usage: 5-18 %
    RAM Usage: 4.1-5.8 GB
    Frame Rate: 65-610 FPS

    Overall I would recommend Alpha Prime. It has some issues and isn’t overly creative but it is a fun shooter that is competent in most areas. I finished the story on normal difficulty in five hours and thirty six minutes. It is well worth it’s current price of $5.49 CAD, I’d go as far as $20 myself.

    I only played the demo, but I found it to be not unlike Half Life 2. It does have some decent graphics, and manages to have levels that DON'T seem like a straight path, but I found the controls to be jerky, and the voice acting sad. If it had been reworked a little I'm sure it could have made a great game.

    Alpha prime is a first person sci-fi action game developed by Meridian4. For this review I am not going to spoil anything in this review, even though the story isn't very exciting i will just give a brief summary of the starting story as an exception. It revolves around protaganist who is recruited to rescue a friend from an evil space corporation, while fighting enemies.

    Visually, this    Alpha prime is a first person sci-fi action game developed by Meridian4. For this review I am not going to spoil anything in this review, even though the story isn't very exciting i will just give a brief summary of the starting story as an exception. It revolves around protaganist who is recruited to rescue a friend from an evil space corporation, while fighting enemies.

    Visually, this game's graphics aren't the best around, but they do look OK and do a tolerable job. The art style fits the game's setting and overall story well in my opinion. The particle effects are nice however, like when I shoot a wall it sprays dust everywhere, but there's not much more to it. Graphics are overall OK.

    The shooting mechanics are a bit awkward at times, as the enemies take up a lot of bullets before they fall dead and it is hard to tell if you hit your target, as the cross-hair is very thick and wide and blood doesn't fly out of your enemies very far,so long distance shooting is a bit of a chore. But the difficulty almost killed the whole experience for me. I played the game on normal difficulty (Out of Easy, Normal or Hard) and found the game becoming a grind after playing for about 45 minutes. If an enemy catches you before you can react, you can be killed by even the lowest level enemies, taking off lots of health with few bullets. Now, imagine that but times 15 and having to defend someone on however much ammo and health you have. That explains a tedious, grind-worthy defense level, which took multiple attempts for me. My problem with the difficulty is that it's misleading how difficult it actually is, and the unbalanced level design prior to enemy placement. I don't even want to play on hard, after i got my arse kicked on normal difficulty.

    The soundtrack for the game isn't too special itself, but fits well and reminds me of the Quake 2 soundtrack a lot, which is a good thing.

    After playing for about 4 hours, I haven't come across any really bad bugs, aside from the gaming crashing every time I try to leave.

    So to conclude, Alpha Prime is an OK FPS that falls short in gun-play and story, but does a nice job graphically, soundtrack wise and is actually a very stable game. 6 out of 10    … Expand

    Tedious and a chore to play puts it pretty well. The main issue is the balance of the game is off, the weapons are mostly ineffective against the bad guys

    Pretty but tedious, Alpha Prime is a solid but supremely derivative shooter that's more often a chore than a pleasure. [June 2007, p.60]

    Alpha Prime, with a passable storyline and passable gameplay, is a little passable anomaly. [July 2007, p.77]

    A pretty shell for a game that's pretty lacking. Not much fun. [Aug 2007, p.92]
