BlackSite: Area 51 (Xbox 360, 2007)

Good graphics, fast paced, great weapons, you can play this game and are never looking for that hidden door or a way off the building. Very straight foward play. Story line is easy to follow. I will play this game again all the way through. The biggest downfall is the game is short it takes only a good afternoon to beat it.

Great game and can be found at a great price. Glitchy at times but what games arent now a days. Great story line and intriguing plot.

There are two things about this game

1. Stupid Squad mechanics, hard to control the squad, its like herding chickens. Squad and enemy troops tend not to hide behind a barrier but in the open or in front of it. I think the squad shares the "Kane and Lynch" mouse brains

2. Spawning, infinite enemy spawning teleportation abilities. Some levels will infinitely spawn enemies, some teleporting in the same location over and over again, good for getting those 200 kills with a certain weapon achievements but eventually the infinite-spawning novelty wears thin.

If your a Halo 3 player, you might like this game, has cartoony material in it.
If your like me and found Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as the thee game of the year, this game cannot match the minimal bar set by COD4.

The plus side, its arcadey-like.
Think of this game like a Sega Rally Revo-version of a FPS and you will not be dissappointed. Just dont have high expectations. Its a okay game.
Good luck on getting online with its multiplayer, its kinda empty, like a Timeshift multiplayer game, its you and ...well.. you waiting... hoping.. waiting..

Thankfully, most of the online achievements unlock anytime in the match... its the ranked matches that must be completed.

Online achievements for the 50 capture the flags and do 20 kills can be done in player matches with just 2 people, if you can get someone else to help you and help them too, you should get those easily. Player match: Unlimited time, captures set at 50, while your at in the match, you can kill each other 20 times for the vanquished achievement.

However its the ranked matches that are kind of tough, few, I mean few people are online at the same time and when they are online, few will actually want to play for achievements or if they all do agree, expect only a couple of matches before a snafu begins. Yeah, ranked matches require at least 4 players, so hopefully you know 3 others with seperate 360 consoles, with Live accounts to help you. Remember ranked matches are different, no game invites, each match is seperate, if you have only two people and its the second person who joins who will join the reborn, if that person quits, you have to setup another match, also once the ranked match is over, you must setup another ranked match, this hast to be done 50 times if you want to get those 2 achievements.

Good luck and dont quit any matches even if your losing on a ranked match, someones got to lose to get points, your turn will to win points will hopefully arrive soon enough unless you really suck at this game.

I like this game very much. I am a Halo3 and Call of Duty4 guy and BlackSite Area 51 is kind of like both games in one. I watch Xbox 360 games on Ebay and bid on games that have low bids so I can get odd games cheap. I took a chance with BlackSite Area 51 because I had not heard anything about it.
I find myself at times through out the day wondering what is next in campain. As I write this I am wondering why I am writing and not playing.
I hope if you are reading this and decide to buy or rent it that you are as suprized as I was with this game.

Gameplay: 6.5
The shooting mechanic is passable, but aiming is excruciatingly slow. The morale mechanic is pretty forgettable.

Graphics: 7.0
While the game occasionally has its graphical moments and impressive visual moments, 90% of the game is bland art design.

Sound: 6.8
The voice acting is decent, but sometimes confusing. Nothing special here.

Difficulty: Medium

Concept: 6.5
The story and dialogue is occasionally clever, but this is no Bioshock.

Multiplayer: 7.5
There are the basic online modes, and while I wasn’t able to test them, Abduction Mode sounds interesting.

Overall: 6.5
Blacksite: Area 51 is fun to play – sometimes - but when you compare it to other FPS’s on the market like Bioshock, Halo 3, and CoD4, there is no comparison. Playing a game like this makes you really appreciate how far games have come, and what a little extra polish will do to a game.

This game has everything.
It's challenging, interesting, and has a few plot twists to keep you immersed in the story.
I'm about half-way through now.
And I intend to finish.

good fun game that i would recommend to anyone who likes a good shooter game so have fun and shoot some aliens

its something different. a lot of my friends have it, and they say its a good game. ive played the demo, and it looks pretty cool. so i figured that id buy it to try it out.

The game overall is kinda korny but what makes it good is the nonstop action and difficulty of the ugly creatures they throw at you. if you like a constant battle this games for you if your more into graphics and relaism dont bother.

Area 51 is a good game. The graphics are good and the game play is good. But there are 2 problems with the game. First it is VERY short, you can beat it in a few hours. And second, the AI arent the smartest people. If you can buy it for like under $10 go for it. It is a fun game, just not worth a lot of money.

Using HD TV this game is a bomb. It has a perfect picture. BlackSite: Area 51 (Xbox 360) is so far the best graphics I ever played. The game is realistic and the themes are about Alians VS Human Army, I hate the end beacuse is stupied, I also dislike that the game is too short.

I'v played all the rest of area51 game's,but they don't come close to this one...
New & improved shooter..With new next gen gaming!!!

Also if you could win one on ebay!!! as i did for cheap...Even better reason to have and play!!!!!lol

I recomend to all halo fan's,gears of war,call of duty!!!! must have for your collection!!!!!!!!!LILGREENYODA.........

Big letdown from the first one. Choppy, poor controls, not a exploration friendly environment. Very average shooter.

this game is really interesting and i like military style games so i really cant complain about this game, thank u very much

My grandson had a demo disk for this game and really liked it. I purchased this full edition as a surprise for him. He loved it and does very well playing it although he is only 7 years old. The game is realistic enough without being too bloody.

this is a great seller. great communication and great buisness. gave me extra time to pay off on the game because i was going through some things at college and money. thanks for that time.

This game is really cool, because your not alone playing this game and you don't have to swap roles playing this game. The vehicles, ground your playing is really neat and graphics are cool.
It would be cool if your other teamates could heal you but nothing really to complain about. Maybe a better map.

I thought that the seller was very professional. Fast and easy payment and shipping to me. I recieved it right on time and it excellent condtion. Thank you.

good graphics and great gameplay this is a great first person shooter if your a fan or army/sci-fi/first person shooter games then this is for you

Loved everything about this game, awesome graphics, up to date weapons, levels are long but keep you in constant suspense.

Thank you for your business the game is great and works fantastic it has no problems and the shipping was quick and fast thank you for your business.

I bought the game for my son. I compared prices off the internet at regular outlet stores and then decided to shop on ebay. I purchased off ebay because it was alot cheaper and the shipping was free. My son has been playing the game for about three days now and he loves the game. I will continue to buy from this seller and ebay.

Fast reliable service thank you I will do business with you again.Everything was delivered in a timely manner

Excelent consition , recieved in very timly manner. Will buy from again. The game was like bran new and had no scratches , not even on the case. We recieved it in 3 days of ordering the game.
