This game seems rushed. You do have a squad, yes, and they do take cover, but there isn't really a cover system for you to use. This game is riddled with bugs, such as my squad mates sometimes running into a wall and just getting stuck, weapons in mid-air, objects just vanishing, squad mates warping 20 yards, enemies just disapearing then re-appearing in random locations.

Another thing that bugs me, is the driving. These things drive like little toy cars, controls make it worse, your AI gunners are downright stupid and useless, and at some points, there will be huge things barreling toward a squad-mate, and he will either stand there and stare at it, or run towards it, and thus, killing him.

The sad part is this game COULD of been good. it COULD of been a 9.3 atleast if they polished it, this game would'nt even make it as a beta. You can destroy cover but you cant destroy a fence....Missions seem long, and you don't enjoy playing this game for more than 1 hour, ever.

The visuals and sounds ARE decent, but i've realized some sounds ripped from far-cry.

    Blacksite: Area 51 is a solid game, but small tweaks could have made this far better.

    Blacksite: Area 51 seems fairly similiar to other games of humans versus aliens, where you take control of the human side, defeat the aliens, save the day, and everything is rosy. This is true in Blacksite, but makes us ... Read Full Review
