Product Description
Following on the heels of the arcade and console shooter sensations, BlackSite: Area 51 is an action packed, first person shooter experience which pits gamers against alien enemy forces using the infamous U.S. government landmark, Area 51, and the surrounding areas as the battlefield backdrop. Set in present day, players take the role of a decorated military veteran charged by the government to lead a squadron of "secret soldiers," each with his/her own specialty skill set, into the Rachel, Nevada area to fight off the invasion of unidentified enemy races. The player`s modern-day emotions and fears are driven into a world charged with grave responsibility affecting lives hanging in the balance and eventually finding himself torn between his professional orders and his own ethical standards. In the end, only the actions of the player and his squad can shape the outcome of BlackSite: Area 51 during this potentially pivotal moment in history.

 This is why Area 51 is kept secret December 20, 2007

Blacksite has a great story, a very current world with of course a sci-fi twist. the graphics are not the best on the PS3, it's no Call of Duty both in graphics or gameplay, the controls work well for shooting but the squad command is a joke. Above all that the frame rate is awful, every minor load will slow or stop the game for 1-3 seconds, the audio from time to time will feel off, sometimes you'll hear an explosion from your grenade well after it already blew up. Overall this game had serious potential, i wanted to love this game, i waited since june for this release and was very disappointed.
Pros: Current story with elements of the war on terrorism,
The Shooting controls work well.
Cons: Framerate holds you back from enjoying the game,
the squad commands are not well utilized, Short campaign (6-7 hrs)
 Decent... January 10, 2008

This isn't a bad game, but it is a very average FPS. I thought that the story, graphics, and voice acting was above average. The different types of aliens that you get to shoot are cool, too. The thing that keeps this game from getting a higher score is the forgettable gameplay. Aiming is awkward, the environments aren't as destructible as advertised, the weapons are bland, your teammates are pretty dull... there are many other little problems that make this game barely average. If you want a great sci-fi FPS for the ps3, buy Resistance.
 Horrible Game February 25, 2008

This game is awful. From the bad voice acting to the horrible load pauses. Honestly I didn't even make it past the second level. It was that bad.
Lets sart with the load pauses. Your driving (or walking) along and all the sudden the whole screen has a momentary pause while it loads the next area. Not usaully that big a deal, but it happens all the time. To the point of being a total annoyance.
And the driving controls for the jeep in the second level, forget about it. It's stupid. You can barely control the thing. It's all over the road and slamming into everything. And gettting in and out of tight spaces in a hurry, not really.
Not to mention having to walk around with the most brain dead moronic sqaud mates ever. Delivering some cheesy dialouge.
Don't waste you money. Im sorry I did. I live in a small town with no place to rent games, and my girlfriend won't let me have re occuring monthly credit card bills, so gamefly is out. So I buy games, alot of games. And sometimes you get burned. I tried to take this game to one of those places that buys used games (a 45 minute drive by the way) and I thought they were going to laugh at me for buying this hunk of crap.
 Iraq meets Aliens! January 28, 2008

What's a better scheme, let's send aliens to Iraq! This is a pretty decent first person shooter with lots of great aliens to kill after you work your way through Mexico. The squad action is functional and at least you do have some help. The artificial intelligence of the aliens however is somewhat predictable and they will respawn at particular intervals if you don't keep moving forward and killing them. The fearful coward will get over run! All and all, it took 20+ hours to complete the game... I don't believe 6hrs commented in one of the other reviews.
It was enjoyable to play and I didn't get bored. More than once my heart raced and I was stuck trying to kill some large monster which wouldn't die before I did.
