Very Good

Arguably one of the best games

Area 51 gave me a good idea of what to expect from next gen. slick graphics, great sound and lighting, and tight controls. However, at some points in time, the game gets repetitive. The same weapons are used in most of the game and other ones come in much later. Much as I'd like to say this is a great game, and it is, Area 51 needed to have a little more variety in the plot. In all, Area 51 is a good game for rental and maybe one to own.

Area 51 is an FPS among a console of many. It tells the story about, of course, a strange occurrence at Area 51 with aliens and humans and mutants. The game has good graphics and weapons, along with some nice voiceovers. There were times when I got frustrated at an occasional boss fight or when I couldn't find some health. But after awhile you will get the ability to turn mutant whenever you want, so if you're low on health that comes in handy. There were also some control issues, like pressing the B button for grenades. Overall there is some good and some bad, again it was just as I expected. I give it a 7, out of 10.

AREA-51

This game has nice graphics good play, and challenging levels. But first player view of your character is different, the story line is confusing at moments, but has an understand-able story line. AREA-51 is blown out of proportion at some times, but over-all it is a good game.
