Area 51 Reviews
| 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful  WOW!, By = Fun:  This review is from: Area 51 (CD-ROM) This game borrows heavily upon the finest elements of some of the best shooters out there. The textures and coloring borrow from Halo. The vocal synch/mouth animation is borrowed from Half-Life. The teamwork and the way Sarge would constantly bellow commands is reminiscent of Medal Of Honor. The storyline is compelling. Ther acting is, well, GOOD! David Duchuvney AND Marilyn Manson both star in this game! Very well written and sometimes quite frightening. The skeletal animation is outstanding! A very challenging FPS that we can only hope gets the attention It deserves!!!! 15 of 19 people found the following review helpful  Weak, and embarassing. Not up to par, By = Fun: This review is from: Area 51 (CD-ROM) The story is decent, the premise and setting is ok. But this game borders on unusable sometimes. There is NO save system. Pathetic on a 2005 title. You can play 20 minutes, looking for some bizarre thing that they hid in the game, and get killed at the last minute. Another 20 minutes playing the same thing again. Argh.. I thought we were past that years ago. F5 guys, F5.Then there's the controls. The book tells you very little about what to do in the game. I wandered around for 6 or 7 sections of the game not knowing what to do with the darn scanner. Also, there seems to be a total lack of health when you need it most, and an abundance when you don't need it. Didn't the developers play this thing before they shipped it? Totally wierd. And there are so many cut scenes and cinematics, its hard to get into the rythm. And then the most troubling thing. I love these FPS games, Far Cry, Doom 3, Half Life 2, etc. Play them all. But Area 51, I find it...

After Half Life 2, Doom 3, The Thing what could compare to that greatness that those games portrade?Then I downloaded the demo for this game and I was very impressed to say the least. First of all it reminds me of a cross between HL2 and The Thing which came out three years ago. But what makes a great game to me might not to someone else, hey this is why we live in America, freedom. Graphics: I thought the graphics were good enough with some surprizes like the lighting and that errie neon glow effect you'll see throughout the game. The spaceship is the best I hear. Reminds me of the movie aliens! Physics: are great with windows breaking, granades exploding in more ways than one and body's flying. Great! Nothing new though except that crazy energy granade? Where did that come from? Gameplay: This is where it's at and should be with all games: A cool mystery of a story I tell you... Read more |
