The
name "Area 51" immediately evokes a number of things relating to the US
government, ranging from secret aircraft test programs to more colorful
conspiracies, such as aliens and space ships. In the world of gaming,
Midway has used Area 51 in a series of pretty hokey alien-filled games,
ranging from light gun shooters that started in arcades to cheesy
first-person shooters filled with all kinds of weird conspiracy
theories. BlackSite: Area 51 continues the lineage in a more serious
manner, but it doesn't necessarily make for a better game overall. The
game's strong graphical presentation is overshadowed by its
run-of-the-mill gameplay, which is in turn overshadowed by a series of
glitches.
The game puts you in the role of Aeran Pierce, leader
of Echo Squad. You'll roll with the same set of squadmates throughout,
and the backstory is filled in with their chatter between firefights.
The game opens in the recent past, with Pierce and his team deep in
Iraq, looking for weapons of mass destruction. Instead, you find some
not-quite-human enemies that are quickly explained away as humans with
extreme cases of encephalitis. Then, you encounter swarms of creatures
that explode like land mines when you shoot them. After a brief Iraq
portion that sets the stage for what's to come, the rest of the game
takes place in Nevada where you're told that a militia has risen up and
seized control of Rachael. This is the town near Groom Lake and Area 51
itself, as well as its surrounding areas. While it's painted as
Americans who have risen up in protest of the government, that's only
half the truth. As you get deeper into the invasion, you'll uncover
what's really going on, though the game fumbles when it comes to
explanations and never really tells you from where the alien creatures
originally came. The level titles and a few references to modern-day
sticking points, such as Abu Ghraib, attempt to give the game a bit of
an edge, but the content doesn't back up that edge very much, making
level titles like "Mission Accomplished" (complete with sneer quotes)
feel forced.
