This game is awesome, a whole lot of fun. I remember when I used to plug so many quarters into the arcade version of this game, and spend hours shooting alien scum. This version for the playstation has all of the same pros to it. Only one con: without a gun (like the Interact Lightblaster), control is hardly worth attempting. A definite riot for two players.

My family and I just got Area 51 for Playstation and we are very happy customers! To make the game a truly awesome experience, it pays to get a gun. We bought Interact's Lightblaster Gun, and it's just like being in the arcade!

Area 51 was definately one of my favorite arcade games. Now, here it is, a perfect port for the Playstation. Everything included in this is just as good if not better than the arcade version. Just make sure that you have a lightgun or two. I reccomend Namco's GunCon which comes with Time Crisis and Point Blank 1 and 2. All those games are great as well, so you cant lose.

This game held down the top 5 in the arcades for over 10 months. That is a pretty amazing track record and this game completely emulates the arcade game perfectly. The graphis are run of the mill but the game is incredibly fast. However, if you do not own a lightgun (Namco GunCON) or some other type of lightgun then you shouldnt buy it. No gun = no fun!

The GUNCON from NAMCO is the best choice b/c it is the most accurate and durable...get this game if you have a gun.

Also recommended: Time Crisis, Time Crisis 2 (ps2), Point Blank, Point Blank 2, Point Blank 3, Time Crisis: Project Titan

Although this is a great game, that's extremely fun, you can only play it once. The graphics are ahead of their time (not now, but they were), and when you use a lightgun it's a party. But, you end up doing the same thing over and over again. It's like you die, then just play again, so you can die again then repeat. It sort of gets old after a while. If you can get it for a bargain I'd say go for it, but if it's too expensive don't get it, because the time you'll play it won't be worth the money.

Graphics: 5/5 (for their time)
Fun factor: 4/5
Replayability: 2/5
Sound: 4/5 (just normal)
Overall: 4/5

This game is alot of fun and you dont have to spend 50 cents on it everytime you die. This game is a good action shoot em up game

You can use a Guncon light Gun with this game too which is more fun

This game is perfect for old fan of the arcade or pople just starting to enjoy the game. I do have to mention on main piont though, you can play it withought a gun witought much trouble, but if you want he full arcade fealing that you blowing away alien scum with uns of ammo, then buy a gun, I suggest that you also get codes to figure ou how tto get to secret levels

Great game, but don't order from nielsensart.com. We did and it took over a week for them to even let us know they didn't have it. Then they said they would 'compensate' us by refunding our money!

I think that area 51 is the best shooter for playstation. I have a light gun (desert eagle-guncom) and it is the greatest game ever (with the gun) . It is much more fun with a light gun.

I spent a fortune in quarters playing this at the movie theaters...now I'm saving money with it on my playstation. It's every bit as fun as the arcade version. I have relatively inexpensive guns, and it's still a blast. The graphics are good, and the action is fast paced. I have about 2 dozen games for my playstation, and this one's always a favorite. Of the shooter games...this is the best.
