I did not like the demo at all.

It felt like an old Xbox game ported to the 360. Kinda like Farcry.

well I mean honestly...with all the great games that have been coming out starting in August with Bioshock, Halo 3 in September, The Orange Box in October, and STILL having Assasins Creed, Mass Effect, and Call of Duty 4 all before Christmas, its hard to believe anyone would be paying attention to that game. Maybe it will be decent, but there are many much better games to look forward to.

The "demo" was really just a teaser. The real demo is out on 22nd November.

I'm excited about this game, more so than COD4 or anytihng else like that. I'll decide with the demo though.

I think it looks pretty cool, but I'll probably play it after all the other good games out right now.

They shouldn't have released it that early in its production stage. That demo was crap. Teaser or not. Makes me want to avoid the up and coming "real" demo. And the game itself.

The new trailer looks cool, but everything else looks incredibly subpar. I just don't know about this one. I don't have much faith in Midway.

I care as much about Area 51 as I care about the lack of recent Paris Hiltion news in the media (sarcasm)

But I am still going to watch the live demo wednesday just to see what it is about.

The demo had some potential and some nic graphics in some parts, but the gameplay was pretty average and the framerate problems where pretty bad.

I will rent this one but definatly not buy

With games like Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, and Orange Box taking all of the Limelight these games don't really get that much attention.

Look at Timeshift, picked it up yesterday with Call of Duty 4, the game is decent and has some solid gunfights but in the end its just another fps with a bit of a gimmick (time control). I'm still getting Blacksite just for kicks but I don't think it will get that much attention sad to say...

I don't see anything to get excited about. The first game was mediocre, but they coolest thing about it was exploring the inside of Area 51, so what do they do, take that either entirely or mostly out of the second game. The other thing that was interesting, is that they kept the kinds of aliens that people who believe in this stuff claim to exist, in the greys, and did something with that and made the story closer to plausible reality, rather than just way out there. But again, Blacksite just looks like some stupid made up completely freakish monsters running around.

This just looks like another complete ripoff, been there, done that kind of game. Especially this year, when there are so many good shooters out, and even great alien based shooters, Half Life 2 and Halo 3 being 2 examples. The demo completely sucked and was glitchy and stuttery on top of it. Yeah I know it was supposed to be a teaser, but that's a half assed excuse. The Lost Planet demo came out almost an entire year before the game, and it was still very representative of what the final product ended up being, so to expect some massive turnaround in Blacksite since the teaser demo, is just plain unrealistic.

Some of you are judging the game from a demo that has a few minutes of gameplay in it o.o

I didn't think it was anything amazing but it still managed to hold my interest somewhat... I shall await to read the reviews :P

The same thing happened with Area 51 on the XBOX. It had a really fun MP, but it was overlooked because of Halo 2. I assume that it will be no different for this game.

I definitely care about it, and depending on reviews will no doubt pick it up eventually, but right now I've got no cash and have like 4 games preordered coming out this month, so I really can't afford to pick it up.

I thought the demo for the game was great especially the last part with the slow motion effect looking at the giant robot creature. And, when I played the demo for Lost Planet I thought the game was great but I played the final game and it was not as good.
