BlackSite: Area 51 (PS3)

Description

Product description BlackSite: Area 51 (PS3) .co.uk Review If the U.S. Army ever does come into possession of a crashed UFO then the very worst place to hide it would be Area 51 – considering that’s exactly the first place everyone would think to look for it. If real aliens are anything like the ones in this follow-up to the 2005 hit though they’re better off kept a secret. Like the last game this is a first person shoot ‘em-up with no pretentions about complex storytelling or realism, just the ability to fight lots and lots of bug-eyed monsters. It turns out they’ve escaped from the titular army base and you’re cast as a Special Forces soldier sent to invade their space. Thankfully you’re not sent in alone and you have full control over a squad of ally soldiers, as you order them around by sending them to specific areas or telling them to target a particular bad guy. Each soldier will have their own level of morale, where doing badly makes them poorer shots and eventually convinces them to make a run for it. Thankfully the opposite is true if they’re feeling confident though. You’ll also be able to hitch a lift on various vehicles, from jeeps to helicopters, for one of a number of fun on-the-rails shooting sections. The game also comes with a wide range of online multiplayer, including a co-operative mode for two people. If there really are any aliens in Area 51 one then this should convince them to stay exactly where they are. Harrison Dent
