Excellent story and a great campaign. Multiplayer leaves little to be desired.

Area51 is a great game. The story and cut scenes had me pulled in, hook line and sinker. The story is very compelling and held true its claim by revealing conspiracy theories, especially about our landing on moon. There were very few frustrating parts of the campaign which for me is a good thing. It wasnt too easy but didnt leave me stuck on anything for more than a few attempts. I loved the innovative ideas for the alien weaponry and the visual effects for those weapons were spot on. Tested the LIVE multiplayer thing for a couple deathmatches but just wasnt very appealing, as much as the single player campaign. The sound was fine (5.1) and Graphics (HD) was great. After playing this game you'll refer to the Illuminati and The Grays as much as you do the Covenants and Elites.
