Looks good, and feels pretty nice but another in a long line of "kill aliens/kill occasional BIG alien" forgettable shooters. Good luck against Halo 3 kids come fall release date.

A fun and simple FPS! I really enjoyed the demo and the unreal engine 3 rocks! The frame rate was slow and distracting so hope they work on that.

Wow, another derivative, childish FPS. When are game-makers going to realize that not all gamers are 15 year-old boys? As fun as Gears is, it's still big, bad, ugly aliens vs. macho, unrealistically tough guys that are just SO badass. I'd love to see more games like Indigo Prophecy. Something with a story that mattered. People always want a good storyline to go with their FPS these days. Who cares? All you end up doing is shooting the bad guys anyway. Having said that, I enjoyed the hell out of Battlefied 2. Mostly because although I did finish the campaign, the online was just great. No stupid monsters/aliens, no Master Chiefs or Marcuses. Just strategy and realsim. Not that I don't like sci-fi. I am a Star Trek fan, but that's sci-fi in a way that Halo isn't. In a big way.

Bottom line, Area 51 is a huge pile of turd.

Nice demo. I hope this is more of demo of an early build because they really need to work on the controls and the framerate.

Lock it in there at AT LEAST 30fps. There was way too much slow down in the demo to make the game be immersive. It was really disruptive.

With the controls: I found that if I pressed say, melee, then during that action pulled the zoom button it wouldn't go into zoom act the end of the animation. I had to wait until the animation had fully completed THEN pull the trigger to zoom. Same with firing after a reload.

Get those problems sorted out and I think this could be a nice FPS. Lets just hope this is a very early build.

yes, the frame rate was attrocious, also, the graphics are "comparable to GoW"...???

what?... the graphics are very average.

i think some kids are just blinded by new things & don't see anything thru their hyped hormones.

i'm not old & jaded either, it's just a fact that the graphics (on HDTV) are not GREAT!!!, they are OK, not bad........the frame rate is bad though, i thought i was playing on Live w 24 other ppl at times.

This demo is like the demo for Area 51 on Xbox. Which is it ends to quickly and on a cliffhanger.

this is the way all demos should come out, no hype no build up, therefore no disapointment and after all that a great looking game
