We're not suggesting that Area 51 is going to be a life-changing experience, but it shows every sign of being an enjoyable blast through an intriguing environment - the domain of The X-Files' smoking man and various Independence Day aliens pickled in formaldehyde.
It was a big part of our pre-production phase to research as much of the lore surrounding the base as possible, explains Zach, clearly slightly weary from trawling through the paranoid frenzies of various shotgunstroking American isolationists. So if you're a conspiracy theorist or an avid Area 51 lore junkie, you'll love the detail in the game. Makes you wonder what was going on in Area 52 doesn't it? I love finding jewels in the rough. They're precious, special, and should be nurtured and appreciated.
What I like finding even more are those games that fall just short of this mark, being great in a few small ways, yet only held back only by a few nagging flaws. These games indicate potential, and it means that maybe, just around the corner, a truly great developer, maybe even the next Bungie, is waiting to be born.
Such a game is Area Great visuals, decent gameplay, and a strong eye towards the cinematic make this a relatively enjoyable game. Simultaneously this game suffers from such problems as hectic, poorly planned out action and unresponsive controls. In addition, David Duchovny's trademark monotone acting marrs the overall experience, and occasionally makes you wonder why he was so successful on The X-Files.
A plain vanilla FPS, there's a few endearing elements in this game that should make you smile. First, you can dual wield some of the most basic weapons, like the SMG and shotgun. You'll also frequently have NPCs along to help you through the early parts of the game, and while they didn't seem to be amazingly good, they also won't get in your way. With only four players at most, multiplayer isn't this game's strong suit, but it'll do in a pinch since Area does have cooperative mode, which I'm always a fan of.
Cinematically seamless, you'll only get thrown out of the gameplay by pre-rendered cutscenes, because everything else is handled in the game engine, and while the individual items in each environment waste paper on the floor, spilled supplies, rubble, etc. All in all, it's this continuous sense of good design that keeps the game looking good even in spite of its other problems.
Aurally, you have some good voice acting, some really boring voice acting, and a decent set of sound effects, so all around not a bad job here. Lastly, the game is just fun, and that speaks to me. It has problems, but it's probably worth at least a rental, if not a purchase. As a member of the S. Special Tactical Advanced Alien Response Team, it is your duty to respond, with full force, in the event of an alien invasion.
Well, guess what: there's been one -- only this one was our fault. Research at the notorious government base known as Area 51 has gone awry. The base has been taken over by alien creatures, self-spawned from alien DNA, using the human workers as incubators. All communication has been lost. Along with the other members of your team, you must infiltrate the base, destroy anything that moves, including the human workers you never know which of them may be a "host" , and purge the area of alien contamination.
Sounds like fun, doesn't it? I forgot to mention If you understand the term "rail shooter," then you'll know what kind of gameArea 51 is. If not, picture yourself playing Doom with your feet buckled tightly onto a small moving platform. This platform moves you around the level, and you shoot everything that moves and a lot that doesn't. I like to think of these as "shooting gallery" games: aliens pop up; you blast 'em.
The controls themselves couldn't be easier. You use the mouse to aim your target at and shoot the aliens. Among the other objects you will want to fire on are paintings, fire extinguishers, ammo crates all of which will usually yield ammo , windows some leading to secret rooms , and various explosive barrels, gas cans, etc.
Most of the aliens go down with one shot, with the exception of the dreaded purple Kronomorphs, which require a little more effort. You get into this nice rhythm-click, bang, move, click, bang, move. The only trouble comes every ten shots, when you have to reload by right-clicking the mouse. At first, I found the constant need to reload irksome, but after I realized that most foes will die with one click, it wasn't so bad.
Actually, it demands an extra skill -- learning that sometimes it will be better to reload early if you know you won't have time during the next sequence. This will also let you avoid hearing the little voice chanting "reload, reload" every time your clip empties. Area 51 is an arcade game ported to the PC platform.
The PC version remains true to its arcade heritage, but this causes several problems. First of all, when you run out of health, you get a message continue? I guess this is so arcade players can put another quarter in the slot.
If the timer runs out, you start over at the beginning menu. You get up to 5 credits during the game, and you will use one each time you want to continue after dying. Since you cannot save your game, you need to have a very strong game to make it to the end and battle the alien ship -- especially on the highest of the three difficulty settings.
If you make it, this means you can finish the whole game in one sitting, in around an hour. PC games should have more staying power to be worth the price -- especially in this case, where once you finish, playing over has little challenge, since to succeed, you had to memorize the patterns of kills.

Personally, it would be just as good if someone were to post the sequel, BlackSite here as well.
Methadon 1 point. Sud-ita-fan 1 point. Ethan Cole 10 points. This game was like the movie Terminator 2. Way ahead of it's time. A very good shooter, exciting and smooth running.
This might also be the most realistic game that describes the actual Area I honestly do not have anything negative to say about it.
Cain 2 points. Some of the cutscenes are not working, the intro, the outro Gidbug 0 point. Loved this game as a kid, had rented it on ps2 and it was just fun to play through. Having a framerate in excess of fps breaks your ability to jump. Find some way to force 60fps to fix it. I got the no install version, for some reason the jump action refuses to work?
DasAntihero 0 point. I remember playing this in as a 6-year-old and my older brother was spooked of it. We revisited it years later, as our younger selves didn't get far into it past the mutagen part, and I have to say it holds up nicely. The game is rather difficult at times but is nonetheless an experience. DIckJonas 1 point. BigBob 2 points. This review refers to the No Installation version. Area 51 is a FPS gem from that features high quality graphics and superb audio even when run on PCs with no video card.
The visuals are realistic and enhance the game's immersion. Combined with its intense sound design, the results are exciting and creepy. One can hear mutants and other nasty bots stalking you through the corridors.
Unlike most single player games, your squad's bots are fun to be alongside and useful during the many high energy fights through the underground facility.
The campaign is therefore like a series of multiplayer matches. Best of all, Area 51 is a sci-fi and light horror title that combines the thrill of early shooters with the realism of Halo but with graphics that are respectable to this day. Myk 2 points.
