GamerBlipsVisually, things are a mixed bag. While many enemies and most levels feature impressive visuals, BlackSite makes for a largely vacant and uninspired war zone. Eerie green fog, desolate highways teeming with dangerous alien wildlife, and hollowed out buildings provide atmospheric stages - but while aesthetically pleasing, there isn't anything memorable about them, nor about most of the enemies players will fight again, and again - and again. This point is driven home by the few times you actually do arrive at something memorable, such as when you find yourself pointing a helicopter's gatling gun at a tentacled alien leviathan the size of a house. More big, cinematic set pieces like that, and we could have had a real winner.
In the end, BlackSite: Area 51 just can't compete. When stacked up against juggernauts like The Orange Box and BioShock, it isn't worth the steep price of admission.
