Video Game Reviews of Blacksite: Area 51
Customer Review: Unplayable
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this game for the PS3 and let me preface that by saying that many magazines and websites said that the PS3 version was the best release.
That said this game is horrible. It's virtually unplayable even on the PS3 because the frame rate is terrible. Any little sort of action and the screen slows down and becomes choppy.
Not only that but I played it for about 3 hours and I'm halfway done. Let me see, I played GTA4 for 40 hours and I'm only 50% finished. Probably played 1/2 Life 2 for 20 hours to complete that.
So my point is that to begin with this game is only average but factor in the frame rate problems and the length and you have a 1 or 2 star game at best.
One thing that really upset me was that Blacksite wasn't even as good are the original Area 51 for the PS2 in length, story quality, and graphics.
Description of Blacksite: Area 51
Following on the heels of the arcade and console shooter sensations, BlackSite: Area 51 is an action packed, first person shooter experience which pits gamers against alien enemy forces using the infamous U.S. government landmark, Area 51, and the surrounding areas as the battlefield backdrop. Set in present day, players take the role of a decorated military veteran charged by the government to lead a squadron of "secret soldiers," each with his/her own specialty skill set, into the Rachel, Nevada area to fight off the invasion of unidentified enemy races. The player`s modern-day emotions and fears are driven into a world charged with grave responsibility affecting lives hanging in the balance and eventually finding himself torn between his professional orders and his own ethical standards. In the end, only the actions of the player and his squad can shape the outcome of BlackSite: Area 51 during this potentially pivotal moment in history.Shooter Games
