Though I love the Arcade game, I am a fan of this one too. I haven't had alot of time to play it(IE see my Doom 3 reply) But I am a little disappointed in the way this one play's. I thought it would play alot more like the arcade one but it really doesn't don't get me wrong I do like the way you get to see more, the graphics are awesome, but the timing of the game is so fast paced in the begining you really have no time to get acquainted with how to play it, and also if you go through and try to get all the "extra stuff" you can then your "team" is constantly on you about hurry it up, get a move on,et cetra you would think that they would want you to explore a little bit. maybe find stuff you will need later on. haven't gotten all that far into it yet but so far I have to say a C rating.

Bummer, it sounds like you're a bit disappointed with it? It's on my list of games to get, the demo was really cool and I played that a bit. It's not out here til the end on may.

When you compare it too something like Doom 3 then yes it is a little disappointing, on it's own merit's I do like it but I would wait til it drops in price to get it. The action just overwhelms you, and boy you really need to stay with your team all the time in the begining. If you are a die hard Area 51 Arcade junkie, you will find it isn't quite as good as you would expect. I like the fact that they used David Duchovny to do the main character(who else would have that alienesque) but it just slam's you into the game and bam, you are going. no real training for it(which you will need in less than 5 minutes) The back story to it is really short, and it takes a few second's to load. The Graphics are wow, and the action double wow, but you don't get the time to really take to it before the wow and the double wow sweep you up. make sure you go back when you can and look around collect stuff, all the extra's so far are in plain sight if you are looking,but getting the time to get it all is hard.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy it---------It will get better I promise-----I need to revise my first opinion, of the game I may think that I spoke before really getting into it-----But I still stand by the buy when it is cheaper statement, you really need all the training you first get with your company But it is still Wow and Double Wow.
