Fun but little replay value

Its a fun game but there is no reason to play it much more than a few times. Only good with gun controllers rather than the normal ones. Better left to the arcade.

Just As Good As the Arcade

This game is awesome, a whole lot of fun. I remember when I used to plug so many quarters into the arcade version of this game, and spend hours shooting alien scum. This version for the playstation has all of the same pros to it. Only one con: without a gun (like the Interact Lightblaster), control is hardly worth attempting. A definite riot for two players.

Pretty darn good...

This game held down the top 5 in the arcades for over 10 months. That is a pretty amazing track record and this game completely emulates the arcade game perfectly. The graphis are run of the mill but the game is incredibly fast. However, if you do not own a lightgun (Namco GunCON) or some other type of lightgun then you shouldnt buy it. No gun = no fun!

The GUNCON from NAMCO is the best choice b/c it is the most accurate and durable...get this game if you have a gun.

Also recommended: Time Crisis, Time Crisis 2 (ps2), Point Blank, Point Blank 2, Point Blank 3, Time Crisis: Project Titan

A REAL QUARTER SAVER

I remember getting a used copy of this cool PSX game back when the original game could still be found in a few of the local arcades. It was a great way to spend some time shooting up the aliens, sharpen my skills, and save me a bunch of quarters. Besides, I could visit Area 51 anytime I wanted to (especially the middle of the night). So plug your lightgun in and meet me at Dreamland.

Great game that gets repetitive

Although this is a great game, that's extremely fun, you can only play it once. The graphics are ahead of their time (not now, but they were), and when you use a lightgun it's a party. But, you end up doing the same thing over and over again. It's like you die, then just play again, so you can die again then repeat. It sort of gets old after a while. If you can get it for a bargain I'd say go for it, but if it's too expensive don't get it, because the time you'll play it won't be worth the money.

Graphics: 5/5 (for their time)
Fun factor: 4/5
Replayability: 2/5
Sound: 4/5 (just normal)
Overall: 4/5

Sweet

I just got this game like half an hour ago and it's great. But I beat it in less than half an hour. A great game just too short... I reccomend it to kids over 12 'cause you can turn off the gore.

Great game

Great game, but don't order from nielsensart.com. We did and it took over a week for them to even let us know they didn't have it. Then they said they would 'compensate' us by refunding our money!

good game if u have the right gun

AREA 51 is a cool game just like the arcade. but it is only compatible with a few guns. and if u dont have the correct gun it is not that great. so before u get the game make sure u have the right gun.
