Area 51 is the only action-packed 1st person shooter set in the U.S. governments most secret and secure military facility. The U.S. Army has received a distress signal from Area 51 where a viral outbreak has just shut down the research facility and the automated quarantine procedures have locked all scientific and military personnel inside. A small Special Forces unit led Specialist Ethan Cole of HAZMAT (hazardous materials) Division is sent to investigate. As Cole, players will delve into five massive levels within the confines of Area 51, discover a mutagenic side effect of the virus that controls the minds of those infected, as well as an ancient alien colony buried beneath the facility. With a multitude of human and alien weapons, players must explore chilling conspiracies such as the extraterrestrial crash at Roswell and the faked lunar landing, in order to solve the enigmas of Area 51 before the viral mutagen is released and irrevocably mutates all life on earth.

Area 51's an interesting one, the story isn't anything spectacular but it is pretty entertaining. With the obvious namesake conspiracy aside, it follows up with some other fun conspiracies in a pretty amusing way. The game definitely starts stronger than it finishes, with things in the beginning being almost horror-esque as you fight these strange alien creatures before it devolves into more plain gunfights vs. enemies with guns. Said gunfights just kind of suck, the shooting enemies can just erase you pretty quickly and fights with large amounts of them can get painful, fast. There's a few boss fights that are, oddly enough, easier than regular combat, and for the most part, unremarkable. The level design is generally pretty good, and it gets especially neat towards the final few levels. I'd be remiss not to touch on the voice acting. David Duchovny voices the main character and does a pretty solid job, he sells the part well. Of course, one of the "highlights" is Marilyn Manson voicing the main alien in the game, he uh, he certainly tries, I can say that much. Overall, I got a few kicks out of playing through it with some of the conspiracy nods, which made up for the relatively average gameplay and some of the more minor gripes I had with the game. Not terrible, not great, but I don't regret playing it.
