I was waiting for this game, but it looks too GTA sandboxy from the previews I saw. Kinda not what I expected, hope I'm wrong.

Graphics are behind the times. Nice ideas though. Reminds me of an updated Metal Gear, but the graphics are around the same level MEtal Gear 2 and that game is what, at least a decade old by now.

Yeah I think one of the main builds for the game were a little shitty so the developer wanted them to re-do it entirely. That could be why the graphics are not up to par, perhaps they cut some funding in that department to finish the game?

Gameplay will always trump graphics in my book. Ideally a great game will have both, but I'd much rather see them make cuts in the latter category than risk losing what makes the game fun to play (or failing to establish any fun to begin with.)
Shadow Complex was a great, fairly recent example of this. It was an XBLA release that was very obviously inspired by classic "Metroidvania" games, and although it was technically above average for an XBLA title, it still had quite a few graphical rough spots (clipping, low resolution textures, animation hiccups, etc.) that made it look dated by 3D gaming standards. It's probably one of my favorite games to come out of this console generation simply because I couldn't put it down from start to finish.
Alpha Protocol looks like it has some of the same potential, but it may be too early to tell how well it's doing in development.

The commercials describe it as an espionage RPG. I'm intrigued, like usual!

So far every review I've seen has given it low scores. Bleh looks like it wasnt worth the total overhaul.
