List All 3 PricesArea 51 an above average FPS, though only because of its interesting point of view and cool conspiracies. It's not a must-have, but you should definitely rent it sometime. Just don't forget: the truth is out there! Read more
Area 51 was a welcome surprise as initial impressions of the game were that it would be a bargain bin game that was forgotten in a week. However, Area 51 offers a very good single player FPS campaign with a decent storyline that will keep any fan of all action first person shooters happy. The influence of Half-Life, Doom, Halo and many other FPS's is evident and while Area 51 doesn't offer anything particular original it is well worth an extended rental due to it's... Read more
Aside from that, I have learned that mediocrity leads to obscurity. You figure that one out, Einstein. Read more
Area 51 is an action-packed first-person shooter that puts you in the role of Ethan Cole, the leader of the HAZMAT Division (hazardous materials) of the U.S. Army, sent to the mysterious Area 51 to help contain a viral outbreak. Equipped with a massive amount of human and alien weapons, you must explore chilling conspiracies such as the extraterrestrial crash at Roswell and the faked lunar landing, in order to solve the enigma of Area 51 before it is too late. The game... Read more
At what point does hyperbole become falsehood? I know that most discerning consumers have long since decided to take everything that ad copy claims with a grain of salt, but isn't there a bare minimum standard of honesty that these things should be held to? Unlike my normal review format, I'm going to use this opportunity to address some of the claims made by the Area 51's box. "Unleash destruction with fearsome human and alien weaponry." Well, given that this is a First... Read more
Area 51 takes an intriguing subject and mutates it more than the pathogen that mutates the protagonist's body. Area 51, for some reason, struck me as a brilliant game when I first heard about it. I can't remember if I saw some positive reviews or if the trailers simply appealed to me, but oh how very wrong I was. The story is explained more in the manual than it is in-game, and this is the first of many, many crucial downfalls. You play the role of Ethan Cole, poorly... Read more
The best thing about this game is that it starts with the letter "A", that way it's near the top of the list when you go to add/remove programs to delete it. I wanted to give it at least 2 stars for effort, but I just can't bring myself to do it. I'm not a big fan of first person shooter games anyway, but this one is pretty awful. The enemy's aim is near perfect and you can get shot hundreds of times, it's cheesy and boring. After going a long way through it there is... Read more or see product
A relatively fair game that was ported from the Arcade. You feel like the game should come with an uzi equipped with a grenade launcher to aim at your monitor, like the old Nintendo days of Duck Shoot. Your basic shoot 'em up arcade game with average graphics. It is the type of game that you play for a while at first, but quickly loose interest in it and use the CD for a drink coaster. Read more
