Area 51 demo - Oct 09, 2004 20:30
Got the demo for PS2 and love it! It' s like Halo and Half-Life combined. Can' t wait until the actual game is released in 2005. I definitely will be buying it; however, I will be buying the Xbox version. If it' s that good on PS2, it will be even better on Xbox!

Oh, I also rented the Star Wars Battlefront game. It' s a fun game and the graphics are good. That said, my biggest beefs are -- you can' t pick up a dead soldier' s weapon, takes way too many shots to kill someone, and the " hero" helpers you get (Jeti' s, Darth Vader, etc.) don' t really help you at all. Other than that, I like it

I played Area 51 on the nov. Issue Of OXM.

The game is fun and im picking up a copy when it comes out.
At the end of the demo they had the " Flood From Halo" kind of thing so that was cool.

The game reminded me of Killzone videos.

I rented Mortal Kombat Deception for PS2 and there was an Area 51 demo on it

There was only part of one level, and I found it to be pretty boring. The graphics didn' t look all that great(not bad in any sense), and it just kinda seemed so mindless. It feels like an excuse to make another bland FPS game.

I know I only played a very short demo but I don' t think the PS2 version of the game has anything on killzone

graphics aside, the demo felt very plain and boring IMO

more shiny graphics aren' t going to make it any more fun

i played it on the PS2(PS2 rocks!!!) and i really liked that game. if you do not like FPS then you will not like it. if you do, you WILL like this game. it was fast and down right intense. the demo was short but good, and i think it showed real pormise. the game will have a good milti-player game so i see that the game will not have a problem selling. the game might be a little too " cookie-cutter" FPS type of game, but that is what sells.
