this game is rly fun and it has a few humorous parts... for example, if u scan the people in the first area with the shooting range with your scanner... they have some unusual items... but w/e.

This game is addicting. It has a great multiplayer mode, unfortunalty no co-op, but that can't be helped.

You wont be finishing this game in under 2 days straight, unlike some people did with Halo, because let me tell you, this game is LONG.

And another thing, this game is VERY hard, but the joy of finally blowing that one annoying alien's head off is the fun part.

The graphics in this game are pretty good, but its not exactly halo 2.

One last thing....

I hope you like puzzles, because there are at least 2 or 3 hard ones. Well, not really. There arent any puzzles actually. Except maybe trying to figure out how to get to the roof of some control booth.

One more last thing....

The scanner is pretty cool. You can scan a lot of things. Allies, bonus things, secret documents, dead bodies, you can get an air sample, and yes, you can even scan the living breathing aliens trying to gouge your eyes out!!

Well, i hope u buy this cuz it PWNS U ALL!

Good game but rent first

you must compare this game to halo 2 because everyone who owns an xbox should play halo 2. also because it is the best fps ever. Getting to the point this is a good game but not great. descent graphix, good sound but i wouldnt recomend buying. please rent first

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!

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)!!

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.

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.
