I bought Area 51 for xbox for $10 and it was well worth it. The game play is great. I would even say its one of the best FPS I have played. It controls well to. Over all thier pretty fluid and I had no problems with the controlls or thier layout. Graphics wise Area 51 isnt a let down. the game looks good. the character models and the models of the enemies look very detailed and well done.The game also has very good lighting effects that add to its creepiness. Just as a side note I have heard the ps2 version looks just as good. It might not be next gen but the game does a good job of showing off the graphics gamers got to experience later in the last gen systems lives. The story is also top notch as well. The ingame story is a little lacking but the majority of the story is backed up by secret documents you find through out the game. These make Area 51 and its story shine and come together. They also make whats going on in the game more believable and even more creepy. I would say the documents are the best part of the story and its worth it to find every one so you can just read them. Some are so good I have read them again for the hell of it. It took me about 5 days to finish the game. Its not very long but its great while it lasts. I would recommend it to any one. But there are some minor complaints. The game can be tough at times. Not real tough but just enough to irritate you. also the enemies in the game that use the assualt rifles can fire them in fully automatic mode like sniper rifles. That can be a real pain, at least it was to me. Its still a very good game.
