Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Area 51 is the only action-packed 1st person shooter set in the U.S. governments most secret and secure military facility. The U.S. Army has received a distress signal from Area 51 where a viral outbreak has just shut down the research facility and the automated quarantine procedures have locked all scientific and military personnel inside.
A small Special Forces unit led Specialist Ethan Cole of HAZMAT (hazardous materials) Division is sent to investigate. As Cole, players will delve into five massive levels within the confines of Area 51, discover a mutagenic side effect of the virus that controls the minds of those infected, as well as an ancient alien colony buried beneath the facility. With a multitude of human and alien weapons, players must explore chilling conspiracies such as the extraterrestrial crash at Roswell and the faked lunar landing, in order to solve the enigmas of Area 51 before the viral mutagen is released and irrevocably mutates all life on earth.

I got this game recently and is one of the best First Person Shooters i have ever played on. The movements are great, the weapons are incredible, the grpahics are sensational and the gameplay is the most incredible experience i have been immersed in during games. Their is non-stop action and a surprise round every corner. If your a fan of FPS then this is the game for you, it is incredible and i would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great game to play!.

Area 51 has a lot of good sides to it but also a few bad sides.Starting with the good i think area 51 has a great story mode much better than games like halo 2 (and i think most of you who have halo 2 will say the campaign is a bit sukkish).Set in area 51 (well deh) it has a good selection of human weapons but dissapiontingly only 2 different types of alien weapons.The story mode also features amazing action scenes with hardly any bits where you can't find an enemy.
The bad news about area 51 is the multiplayer is really bad.Sure there are about 15 maps but most of them are very small and the worst part is there is only one type of multiplayer game,deathmatch and that is just terrible.
Overall i give the story mode 5 stars but the multiplayer mode a dissapointing 2 stars.Really,don't invite your friends over to play on this with you!

Very Good: Manson and Booth voice acting.
Good: Well balanced difficulty, above average cut-sceens quality and script, good camera
Not so Good: It allways gives the impressions it was made in a very tight schedule - the production, although not cheap, it is not polished at all; Duvochny voice acting seems to try to put you to sleep; not enough cut sceens to illustrate the story (and because they are quite good, I should say), the control system could be improved; flat main charecter, laughable physics.
Bad: No replay value, multi-player.

Tragically tired.
Really disappointing FPS.
No atmosphere whatsoever and poor AI spoil what could have been a really good game. Read more

Not That Good!
This game was simply not that good, gameplay and graphics were as good as you would expect from a console that has been around for 4 years now and so games producers are familiar... Read more

Awesome
This has to be one of the greatest games ever. The graphics are breath taking and some of the fight scenes, particularly at the beginning are unbelieveable. Read more
