This game is realy fun. I didnt think i would like it but when i played the demo on mortal kombat i knew it would be good. its a very unique game witht some parts that feel like halo but its alot darker and more brutal it makes halo look like a kids game.Its prety chalenging and has a good story line with huge twists like turning into a alien zombie is the craziest part in the game but real fun and unique. one down fall is that later on throught the game the levels do get very old and you it makes you feel like your just fightin wave after wave of the same wierd lookin guys with blue blood that come from no where. but other than that it is still a good game with very good graphics and some surprize voices like marlyn manson who plays the perfect role in this game and dave douchey from the x files who is in the perfect game for him. i dont think i would pay 50$ for it right now its not an excelent game but later on when it gets a lil cheaper ill be sure to buy it, even after you beat it theres always extras to find so you can go back and find them all the second time because there hard as hell to find some times. but for alien freaks out there you should buy this game now its very fun and crazy and has a real good story line so pick it up and have fun

Parents beware: NOT a 'Teen' game!!!!

Despite the "T" for Teen rating shown on THIS VERY PAGE, Area 51 is in fact rated "M" for Mature and is for ADULTS!!! I purchased this for my young teen and it wasn't until viewing several disturbing and graphic scenes of violence and hearing some very inappropriate language that I peeled off the sticker covering the rating on the box and found an "M" instead of "T!" So parents beware: This might be a great game and lots of fun for older players, but it is NOT for young / teenage audiences!!!

Great Looking Game

This game looks like it's going to be great. I've heard and read great things on it. You could look on ign.com and see more about it. On ign.com it says that it is going to be multiplayer, online and you will be able to download new things with the Hard Drive. I've played the demo and it is great. Im going to buy it as soon as it comes out.

This game OK. It had some very interesting areas and screens to fight through. But the AI for the enemy was not very good. They would attack the same way over and over again.

Awesome

I have played a demo for this game and it is outstanding! It has a halo feel mixed in with a creepy story line but has great game play and controls. I am definately going to buy this game and I recommend the same to anyone else who likes good quality video games. A+++

Speechless. Just Smply Speechless.

This game it the best game I have ever played. I mean the graphics are great and the game is so great. I bought this game and I thought, this game is going to be pretty good. Well I was wrong this game is like Halo but with a different storyline. Plus I think this is way better than Halo..

One of the great games available on XBOX

Recently I've been going back through and playing some of the games I've never finished in my library (such as this title). And realizing I've never given a review on some... So here goes...

This is a great game, EGM said it "could be your second halo" but I believe this is what halo was meant to be. It's a fast paced first person shooter, but with more 'meat' to it than halo. The visuals are what you would expect from all the original Xbox hype. They are sharp and clean. With an HDTV (which I didn't have when I played it before) you can really see how sharp the graphics are. It's a harder game than halo, and even halo 2, so it provides plenty of challenge for the hardcore and casual gamer alike. This one is online enabled, but like many gamers, I've never bothered with paying MS to use their service, so I have no idea how the multi-player is. But the single player game is definitely worth the money.

Original is better!!!

I have played the demo but not the real game and it stinks!
Worse than original(the original OWNS!!)
Guns are definitly ripped off from halo 2
and did I mention the original owns? Nothing can beat the original Area 51 (by the way, you can buy the original for ps1)!!

Enough of Halo already...

I was reading the reviews to see if I might want to buy this game and for a minute I thought I might be in the wrong area 51 (pun intended)
Yes, Halo is a great game, but NOT anymore great than Half-life, Deus Ex, etc... You guys act like Halo was the second coming of Christ or something! It's just an FPS, just like any other FPS, let it go already!
And about your comment on beating Area 51 in 4 days, I beat Halo 2 in 3 days, doesn't really justify $50 does it?
Btw the other reviewer is right, Halo 2 is garbage, all $50 worth of it

It's a great game....If you want to play alone.Ever since Microsoft Xbox has been pushing their "Online Cyber Friend Players" You find more and more that you cant play at home With your REAL FREINDS, using split screen or otherwise. This is microsofts biggest folly. I want to play with my friends in the room...not some"unknown" a thousand miles away. Take a hint microsoft.............We're not nearly as dumb as you think we are.READY TO PITCH XBOX FOR A PLAYSTATION!
