Area 51

This game is a must-buy. Why? I will tell you!

Story goes into Area 51. Area 51 puts you into the shoes of Eithan Cole and you are with a team to search area 51 to contain a virus, that involves ALIENS! You go around and you fight mutated Scientists and other zombie/alienth monsters deep within and survive. You take two machine guns and run in there like rambo and you shoot everything with yellow in their eyes. Once you're done shooting, you move to the next area and shoot more baddies, as well as solve puzzles on the way of your next area of a zerg rush of aliens. At one part of the game, you can mutate into an alien by choice, uniquely added in. Pretty much the story is sort of like Doom, with a few tweaks. Which brings me to the theory that almost every game is recycled from some other game.

One of the fun things you can do when it a playable-cutscene is scanning things with a scanner. You can scan bodies, items, wallets, etc. Sometimes you can find condoms in a dead hopeful guy, as well as check the air supply. "Yep still 30% oxygen." Or you can turn around and hit your teamates, don't worry, they have unlimited health. So they can scream "STOP IT COLE" all day and walk way without a scratch.

There's the Multiplayer online/splitscreen. Of course, to play online you need an adapter of the new PSTwos but it's worth it. Players on MP are not as serious as WoW, they are more playful than a round of Garry's Mod. Sometimes, when theres an idle person who's infected so you start beat the s*** out of one of your guys and they'll start hitting you back. Overall, there's the usual clans, kids and messed up mics. Other types include Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the flag. It's more fun if you got the online.

Over all I give this 4 stars because of which, there are fewer guns and levels as well as Multiplayer is prolly the only reason I would buy it, just like Halo!
