Forget that this is a sequel to an amazing game and you just might like it, if it wasn't too short.
The problems with this game though are that it gets tied into being the sequel to an amazing FPS like AREA 51. I think this is a mistake, because there is nothing about this game that really ties it self into the first AREA 51 game. It shouldn't have labeled itself as another AREA 51 game and just been it's own stand alone title. I think people compared this game to the first and not on it's own merits.
The game really isn't intense enough neither. Although there are some really cool cinematic moments with some of the creatures, you'll never feel overwhelmed with the action, it's pretty easy. I liked that the environments always change, the graphics are good, except that the characters have too much of the white sheen, silhouette around them. The AI characters have plenty of personality though. The game has one glitch though where the weapons of your enemies stay here they died, even in mid air instead of falling to the ground. So you'll see floating weapons and ammo.The game suffers from not a lot of variety of weapons also, and the length of the game will have you scratching your head. I played it for about 4 hrs....way to short to be of any value as a purchase. This is definetly a rental
