Chances are, if you ever go to a bowling alley, bar, pizzeria or in your life, you have found at least one electronic game machine 51. Location originally debuted as an action game based on the light gun, the series 51 range has been largely dormant measured over years. This is probably one of the reasons, considering the original game, far less sequels of monitoring was not really that good to begin with. Fortunately, the latest version of Midway Area 51 is very similar to its predecessors. Now, Area 51 is a first person shooter. holder adaptation of the original game has remained intact, such as the army of mutant villains. However, Midway decided to inject a bit of history in this version, and a handful of Hollywood voice talent and a nice-nice-looking graphics engine. Unfortunately, all until gussying we can not overlook what is finally a way to handle this offer no more than a handful of successful throughout single player and multiplayer modes feelings. Course will play worse FPS games in his life, but definitely plays better, too.As the title suggests, the
area 51 is held in the infamous military installation, the same name, in which the US government supposedly holds all the alien technology secrets collected after Roswell, New Mexico incident early 1940. As expected, for this is much of a game, something should go horribly wrong; and indeed it does. You play as Ethan Cole, a functional hazardous materials shipped with your computer - many original mob - assess a viral outbreak within the walls of the area 51. After a rough encounter and greet the local military, they if sent guns blazing. What we end up finding a horde of mutant soldiers, scientists and other alien creatures who roam the area, seeking to infect and / or kill everything that comes their way. Oh, and there is also a lot of nonsense regarding the Illuminati, psychics, those little alien heads, gray skin we all have come to know and love, and thrown into the mix pile crazy conspiracies. But frankly, this is totally contradictory, and it just gets in the way of that ugliest mutations shoot.The core gameplay in the center of the area 51 will be readily accessible to any Halo, almost every other FPS released in recent years collected Doom 3, or. Guns, controls, and the overall feel of the game is quite evident from these games, and while the Austin study Midway has definitely done a good job of mimicking what made these great games, which mostly becomes: mimicry. Of course,
this is not necessarily a bad review, especially because the activity can sometimes be very satisfactory. You can start the game associated with a group of armed soldiers similarly hazardous materials, and during the first part, you will find often bombarded by swarms of enemy mutants. The team are very skilled to fight the enemy (mostly because they can be killed during these struggles), so that there, fighting with you. These games can be very exciting, like huge wings and intense shootouts are increasingly sick come from nowhere. Unfortunately, there are only a few of these moments.The rest of the game feels like a pretty runner tracking model, with small groups of enemies by jumping on view in the most predictable moments. Whether you are fighting mutants, Illuminati soldiers, or whatever, battles tend to feel more or less the same. It can often be a challenge, and it is true, some of the weapons is not a very satisfactory participation (especially those that can double handle), but battles can also become quite repetitive, especially since the objectives rarely revolve more from finding keycards and other bric-a to attempt to open the doors closed, so you can get to the next section.There are two ways that Area 51 does not try to break the monotony a bit. To start with great style Metroid Prime, Cole can detect a number of different objects, documents and bodies go. Backstory scan data are rewarded with unlockable, and confidential information about the conditions of the game, although you only can access these things out of the main game. The other factor X is drawn to the fact that from the beginning, Ethan has infected everyone has turned the facility into an ugly mutation of some sort. When this happens, Ethan gains the ability to transform at will, and raises a different set of responsibilities when "will be mutated." Essentially, your melee attacks become stronger and gaining the ability to launch two types of viral attack enemies from a distance . the game also coordinates the visual experience, stressing colorful heat signatures to nearby enemies and giving a kind of soft blur around than anything else. This polluted state is not a bad idea, by any means, and there are times definitely feel useful especially because they tend to have
less damage in this situation. But most of the time, no need to worry. None of the attacks is actually much more powerful than when Ethan is in human form, and in addition to a change scenery and a small dent in the amount of damage you do, there is little other incentive to get your mutation.Once you deal with the area of 51 single-player missions, there is a multiplayer mode to join as well, if a multiplayer mode for which is about as average as you would find in a FPS these days. Up to 16 players can participate in team death matches and tactics, capturing the flag games, and a game called Infection where players assume the role of an ordinary soldier or a mutant infected. The maps are model various points in the 51 area, so you can expect a lot of corridors and stairs to navigate. For the most part, the multiplayer is quite good and works well both on PS2 and Xbox, although there is nothing special about any of this. Among somewhat limited range of weapons and little maps coat factory, it is likely that you simply play through a few rounds of multiplayer and then be done with it, because it is never quite exciting to really take hold you and your They keep coming back for more.Region 51 projects in the field of visual effects. The graphics have a sharp, well-rounded appearance. All the environments are nicely detailed and actually changed quite well, although takes place almost entirely within the boundaries of a government laboratory. The characters and enemies are detailed in a similar way, though not as creatively designed. The HAZMAT teams just seem a bit less cyber Master Chief, and most of the mutations are not all that scary. This does not mean that there is some bad and ugly designed with creativity here and there, but it means that you will not see nearly as much from them as you can mutants overall look. Small visual details, such as lighting and the excellent results of the particle, do little to prevent the frame rate consistently, it works quite well on both platforms, though the PS2 version tends to take more than one hit. No real clear visual winner between versions of PS2 and Xbox game because both are almost exactly the same, that really says something about the quality of the edition PS2 graphics, but it is not a knock against Xbox version.Sound effects are also quite impressive. Gun sounds are brutally strong and bounce off the walls of the base very intensively. In fact, during the chaos of the battle, it's pretty hard not to get lost in the noise of shots and the enemy grunts. Unfortunately, the remainder of the sound design is not too much. The soundtrack consists of beats and tracks that are evident even mostly minimalist, much less noticeable, and the voice acting is quite uneven everywhere. Name talents such as David Duchovny, Boothe Powers and Marilyn Manson lend their voices to the game, but no so long ago with his role. Boothe simply displayed on the radio occasionally barking orders at you, vase-cap, fleshy, psychic creature Manson is fun,
but not because of his voice work and sound Duchovny as if it had free use NyQuil while sleepily says Ethan Cole story, putting you in sleep during the procedure. In fact, the best voice acting in the region 51 from marginal characters expressed by people who have probably never heard of.It should not take more than twelve hours working your way through the campaign for a player from the region 51, and the motivation to do this will depend entirely on how much you can actually get into the brand action game and the number of repetitions of the action they are willing to bear. In no way the game is devoid of fun, but fans FPS often feel they have experienced much of what the region 51 has to offer before, especially when it comes to multiplayer. In the end, the area is 51, which is the ideal place for rental lovers in the first person. There is a brief and often with nice little game that has some problems, but quite right to make it a game ... but rather a market.
