1 out of 5 stars Horrible Game   February 25, 2008
 3 out of 4 found this review helpful

This game is awful. From the bad voice acting to the horrible load pauses. Honestly I didn't even make it past the second level. It was that bad.

Lets sart with the load pauses. Your driving (or walking) along and all the sudden the whole screen has a momentary pause while it loads the next area. Not usaully that big a deal, but it happens all the time. To the point of being a total annoyance.

And the driving controls for the jeep in the second level, forget about it. It's stupid. You can barely control the thing. It's all over the road and slamming into everything. And gettting in and out of tight spaces in a hurry, not really.

Not to mention having to walk around with the most brain dead moronic sqaud mates ever. Delivering some cheesy dialouge.

Don't waste you money. Im sorry I did. I live in a small town with no place to rent games, and my girlfriend won't let me have re occuring monthly credit card bills, so gamefly is out. So I buy games, alot of games. And sometimes you get burned. I tried to take this game to one of those places that buys used games (a 45 minute drive by the way) and I thought they were going to laugh at me for buying this hunk of crap.



4 out of 5 stars Great game   February 24, 2008
I enjoyed this game a lot.Play was simple graphics rocked and I liked the story line.The grunts talked and acted like grunts do.I did think the AI could have been better.I re-play this game all the time check it out.


4 out of 5 stars Iraq meets Aliens!   January 28, 2008
 0 out of 2 found this review helpful

What's a better scheme, let's send aliens to Iraq! This is a pretty decent first person shooter with lots of great aliens to kill after you work your way through Mexico. The squad action is functional and at least you do have some help. The artificial intelligence of the aliens however is somewhat predictable and they will respawn at particular intervals if you don't keep moving forward and killing them. The fearful coward will get over run! All and all, it took 20+ hours to complete the game... I don't believe 6hrs commented in one of the other reviews.

It was enjoyable to play and I didn't get bored. More than once my heart raced and I was stuck trying to kill some large monster which wouldn't die before I did.



3 out of 5 stars Decent...   January 10, 2008
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

This isn't a bad game, but it is a very average FPS. I thought that the story, graphics, and voice acting was above average. The different types of aliens that you get to shoot are cool, too. The thing that keeps this game from getting a higher score is the forgettable gameplay. Aiming is awkward, the environments aren't as destructible as advertised, the weapons are bland, your teammates are pretty dull... there are many other little problems that make this game barely average. If you want a great sci-fi FPS for the ps3, buy Resistance.


2 out of 5 stars This is why Area 51 is kept secret   December 20, 2007
 24 out of 27 found this review helpful

Blacksite has a great story, a very current world with of course a sci-fi twist. the graphics are not the best on the PS3, it's no Call of Duty both in graphics or gameplay, the controls work well for shooting but the squad command is a joke. Above all that the frame rate is awful, every minor load will slow or stop the game for 1-3 seconds, the audio from time to time will feel off, sometimes you'll hear an explosion from your grenade well after it already blew up. Overall this game had serious potential, i wanted to love this game, i waited since june for this release and was very disappointed.

Pros: Current story with elements of the war on terrorism,
The Shooting controls work well.

Cons: Framerate holds you back from enjoying the game,
the squad commands are not well utilized, Short campaign (6-7 hrs)
