    BlackSite: Area 51 is just a nice little diversion until some of the big titles materialize a little later. Nothing new here, but fun nonetheless - the aliens are disturbing looking things and a blast to kill. Plus there's some fairly humorous dialog along the way. Not bad, just not great.

    A great story but i must admit the freedom was limited and the graphics could have been better. The Multiplayer modes are really fun aswell.

    그냥 흔한 슈팅 게임이다. 기본적인 슈팅 재미는 갖추었다. 세계관도 나쁘지 않다. 스토리도 다른 게임에 비하면 봐줄만 하다

    A generic and uninspired fps.

    One of the first games I've played when got a new PC back in 2008. Not going to say that this is a masterpiece, but a good one for one-time passing.

    I can see FPS fans having fun with BlackSite since it provides all the standard FPS rollercoaster thrills, but most of us have been up and down those hills a few too many times.

    The game underperforms in every aspect, and although that doesn't make it bad, it certainly makes it a major disappointment for everyone who was anxiously awaiting this game's debut.

    While the game was well paced, there wasn’t much depth to the individual gameplay facets used to break up regular running and gunning, and the lack of variety in weapons was disturbing for a shooter.
