Pros: endless fun
Cons: too simplistic
Summary: Area 51 in my opinion is a great game. It was a great idea to begin with, and they kept it simple. Regardless of the fact that I am about to discourage you from buying it, it's still great. The only problem with it is lack of variety. You only ... read more

Pros: classic shooter from the arcade comes to Playstation
Cons: no surprises, lack of re-play value, not a whole lot of fun
Summary: Area 51 for Playstation is just like the arcade game, except not as much fun. The graphics are a bit on the poor side, but I suppose that's to be expected when translating a game from an arcade setting to a gaming console. After all, Area 51 was ... read more
