Blacksite: Area 51 – Demo Impressions

Submitted by on May 11, 2007 – 4:38 pm3 Comments

blacksite-51.jpgThe demo for Blacksite: Area 51 is quite a hit and miss affair. There are some very impressive graphics and yet some average art design. There are very creepy looking aliens, but rather lame weapons to shoot them with. Then there is the framerate, which I hope is number 1 on their to-do list of things to fix. During intense fights the game chugged to single digit framrates and seemed to stutter slightly even when nothing was happening…not cool!

The game plays like and standard FPS, except you have controls slightly similar to R6V. You will order your crew around to open doors and clear rooms of alien inhabitation. These controls work well and help make the game a little deeper, but not that deep.

I would have more to say but you can play through the demo in about 5 minutes so there really is not much more to go over.That said the pace and action of the game did seem fairly fun and while the demo did not convince me to buy the game I will give it a rent.

What did you think of the demo? Let us know in the comments.

    I couldn’t have said it better myself. I enjoyed the demo and I liked the Rainbow Six: Vegas Lite feel it had. However, they need to fix that framerate issue and I felt like I wasn’t really doing damage to the enemies (kinda like when I played F.E.A.R.). Did you notice that next-gen brown has been replaced by next-gen green in this game?

    I thought it was ok but not “wow”. I’d want to play another level to help me decide on that purchase. The framerate issue will no doubt be fixed upon release.

    Seeing as the demo froze my 360, I didn’t like it. I thought it was ok but I’m getting tired of the typical FPS.
