Blacksite: Area 51 PC Game

Pros: Great graphics, very fast paced game play with an acceptable arsenal

Cons: will not run on all machines, the hangs, start-stop film action kills this game, this could be a great fps if the right patch is ever written

Overall Review: ran this on two different machines that have no problems running any other games, ut2004, ut3, farcry half-life, crysis and run all these on high settings, i would think about it before i bought this game

Pros: Can really stress your system, better than any test I've see!!!

Cons: I run AMD 6400+ black box ed.,4gb Corsair, Crosshair mb.,EVGA 8800 gts 640mb,0-striped 320gb seagates, Vista. My cpu in this game stays 99 to 100%, memory 46 to 52% usage. Have all latest drivers, and patched the game. The game studders often. You will get stuck alot. As another person said "WASHED OUT graphics"

Overall Review: WHY would Midway release this game? To make Christmas sales, bragging rights that you need $7000.00 machine to run well,or just to rip us off? I've played COD4,Medel of honor Airborn, Crysis, Bioshock, Gears of war and was blown away by the graphics and play and my computer didn't brake sweat. I plan to give this game to someone I don't care for and tell them it's great!

Pros: Im thinking....OK..it doesnt take a powerful graphics card to run this game.

Cons: If you do have a powerful PC/graphics card (I have 8800GTX)it wont make this game look any better. I was led to believe the Graphics were much higher quality ! I dont thing this is even a good as the first Area 51. I was very dissapointed.

Overall Review: Dont come away from Crysis and then play this game.Play some older game from 1998 or even 2000.This way you will be impressed by this very mediorce game. I now believe this was the reason they never released a DEMO to get people playing. If I had been able to play a demo....I would never have bought this game.Im not even sure I would have paid $19.00 for this game. Buyer Beware

Pros: Ram seamlessly on my old 8600GT. Fairly fast paced.

Cons: The first installation DVD came pre-scratched from the manufacturer. Had trouble getting it installed. The demo for the Xbox 360 I played looked better.

Pros: Ah... none

Cons: This is the kind of game that puts the PC game industry in doubt. First I thought that there was an issue with my drivers or perhaps my configuration was off somehow, but then it hit me it was neither. It said in the box that uses Unreal Tournament engine I just don't know from what year. I have Unreal Tournament 3 and the Graphics are beautiful. Everything that deals with graphics in this title its just simply bad. I couldn't even run the game on high like I do with Crysis and the rest of FPS I have. My systems specs below. Of course the game ended up in the trash.

Overall Review: Running on a 790i mobo. Intel Quad Core Extreme 9650 3.0 overclocked @ 3.6 using water cooling, 2 nVidia EVGA 8800 GTX on SLI mode, 2 GIGS of Corsair XMS DDR3 1600Mhz, 2 Western Digital Raptors on RAID 0 Oh yeah, all my other games look and run like movies. LOL.

Pros: First, This is a pure Arcade Style Shooter, on rails. It is fairly easy to get in to, since there isn’t so much of tactical element, as much of a run-and-gun-fun feel to it. Ammo is extremely plentiful for your main guns, running over an ammo crate fills us your all of the weapons you have on you. (Which is 2 at any time). its all about action, no so much worrying about ammo conservation or wandering a great expanse. You do have some areas of flexibility when moving, but for the most part, you are on a single path. As such, the graphics and details added to these areas are quite good, there are lots of added graphical goodies, cars, trees, houses, fences.. Overall, it works and the experience is quite fun. The game integrates up to 2 additional team mate bots that follow you and you can order them around to provide cover or use weapons, open doors. They are not all that useful, but their dialog is excellent and adds a lot of fun to the experience. They also ride al

Cons: Not as advanced as most Tactical FPS games, but just for fun, its great.

Overall Review: In all, this is a great game for just blowing a few hours here and there on some mindless fun. It really provided a good “break” from some of the more brainy FPS type games out there.. its not so “serous”, which is really great. Overall, I can easily recommend this game to anyone that just wants to have a good time or is a casual FPS player.

Pros: I received it for a Christmas present.

Cons: The game does weird things like get your character stuck and then crashes when you try to move him. Also the graphics and gameplay are nothing I anticipated. After seeing Call of Duty 4 I thought this game would be filled with great graphics and take out some aliens. The graphics are bland.

Overall Review: I wish I would have went with another game instead on my gift list. I will say that I can run this game on 1920x1200 with no drop in FPS. I am running e6750 with 8800 GT. Other than that it is nothing what I desired. Even with the patch 1.2 I still found some issues. Of course I have only been playing it for an hour or so. I did not purchase this from the Egg so don't hold it against them. They have been nothing short of great in my experiences.

Pros: NONE. Not a single thing I liked about this game.

Cons: This is a two DVD game which takes 16GB of space---for what? The graphic's are horrible (washed out and bland),and the characters are the worst I have seen in many years. The story is just pathetic - you can guess what is going to happen every step of the way. Absolutely horrible! !

Overall Review: Midway should be ashamed of themselves for releasing such junk and I'm sure the ratings on various gaming sites will support my findings. DON'T waste your money!
