Lack luster gameplay and more bugs than an ant colony lead to an uninspired game.
Taken from the review:
I haven't played a First Person Shooter this bad since Turok Evolution. The game is certainly playable and you can see that there are ideas that if implemented well they could've worked out to be something interesting. In a holiday season as busy as this one with a lot of great FPS's there is no reason to buy this game. If I got this game for Christmas instead of Bioshock, Call Of Duty 4, or The Orange Box I'm pretty sure that fisticuffs would ensue.
Derik Moore of Gaming Rebellion Writes: "Welcome to another Gaming For Official Use Only. I have wanted to cover this topic for a long time, but I really couldn’t decide on which Area 51 game I would cover. There’s the classic light gun arcade game from the 1990’s, and a fairly forgotten FPS reboot from the 2000’s. I spent too much time trying to figure out which I would cover until it hit me: I don’t have to choose. I’ll cover both before going on to probably the most well known conspiracy theory in mainstream media. Let’s start with the awesome light gun game."
EB's Nat Smyth writes, "Blacksite Area 51 piqued my curiosity when I was a new Xbox 360 owner in 2007, and I had seen it on the shelf too many times in visits to my local Gamestop to pass it up, so I finally bought it. What I got when I played it was a dull, lifeless, and somewhat ugly looking first person shooter that didn’t hold up at all next to the recently released Halo 3 and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare."
Justin from TMSGamer is back for the third, and final part of his article about the worst games he has played on this generation. Remember, these are games only he has played.
This game really had potential only given more time to workout the bells and whistles. Then again, it was a product from Midway so I'm not really surprise at all.
The first A51 was a great game. Too bad, I was kinda looking forward to this one too. I also heard the online support for this one is next to nothing.
I bet all the people who works in area 51 laughing there asses of when they see this game!
lol...
Peace Out!
Very humurous. Good review, although I thought the final score was a bit harsh.
