Overall: EDITED by writer due to numerous game glitches and framerate issues later in the game. Run for your lives, gaint alien bugs...make that annoying bugs and glitches spoil what could have been a decent game. BlackSite: Area 51 features intense action with decent graphics and A.I. The weapons are as plentiful as the ammo. Unfortunately so are the aliens. Rachel, Nevada is the backdrop for this action shooter and it could be Anytown, U.S.A. Just a sleepy little hollow until a small army of "secret soldiers," converge into Rachel, Nevada to battle an invasion of unidentified enemy races. Gameplay: You fight your way from the ravages of Iraq to Anytown, U.S.A. to battle enemy soldiers and aliens some of which are taller than buildings. The A.I. of both your squad and the enemy is decent. The more you play the game, the more the glitches will annoy and make you wonder why Midway released the game at this stage. Not worthy of a rental.Graphics: A mixed bag. Indoor environments don't look as appealing as outdoor areas. Outdoor environments are next gen, indoor areas are last gen. Don't get me wrong, seeing a giant serpent explode up from inside a house and eat it's occupant is thrilling as is killing an alien to find out that it isn't as dead as you think it is. Why Midway, why with all this slaughtering goodness do you not fix a glitch where my Humvie is up in the air? Why is it that in one early spot in the game can I walk through not one but two vehicles? Sound: Standard F.P.S. type gunfire and explosions. The squad dialogue is appropriate to what is transpiring on the screen. The game does take a few pokes at the U.S. Government without coming across as too contrived. This dialogue while not predominant may annoy some. Then again it is pretty cool to walk right through a truck. Right?Suggestions: Don't release a game for $39.99 with bugs (pun intended) allowing the player to waltz right through a pickup truck and for heavens sake, don't charge $59.99 for it. You had the time to make this a stellar game. I've seen demo's with less flaws. The more I played, the more glitches I encountered. In later stages the game actually went along at a crawl due to poor framerates. SEND MIDWAY A MESSAGE AND DON'T EVEN RENT THIS MESS.Overall: 4.5 Gameplay: 4.0Graphics: 7.0Sound: 7.0
