Product Description
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.

3 out of 5 stars Worth the price   September 6, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Not the best of PC Games, but worth the price. Give it a try. This comes from a die hard FPS person. I ran this on Vista and did not have any problems.


1 out of 5 stars I wish the game would work!   July 20, 2008

I purchased the PC Blacksite Area 51 game used. It loaded fine, but gets stuck each time it begins to run. When I get a new computer, I will try to play it again. The low rating is for not working.


3 out of 5 stars Average game   July 20, 2008
An average FPS, good design but lacks depth. very linear play with not a lot of variety. Enemy AI is poor but functional, allied AI is good. Storyline is poor, as in weapon variety. At best it is a $20 game for its fun value.

From beginning to end, this game is full of surprises. You have to work at finding the hidden dossiers and explore everywhere. More than just run and shoot, you have to think and work out strategies. This game is addictive and playing more than once is still a lot of fun.


1 out of 5 stars a slick one note shooter   May 16, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

its a pretty slick shooter that gives a good first impression, but theres nearly no variety in weaponry. the shotgun is useless, the plasma gun appears very late in the game, and the bazooka forces the player to use it when the developers say so. The only two weapons you found yourself using was the assualt rifle and sniper rifle. I'm the kind of person that judges a shooter based on the different weapons a game gives the players, and how these different weapons offer different tactical advantages and disadvantages(metal arms was awesome), and in this regard blacksite is epic fail, in fact the original area 51 was better in this respect. Add to this many other small issues in blacksite and it becomes a game I simply cannot recemmend.
