This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.

Area 51 was a step in a new direction for Midway's long running lightgun game series. Instead of having just another lightgun shooter, they decided instead to make it into a first person shooter, and it's honestly a really good game.

The action is intense, the controls are smooth, and the conspiracy filled story is great. The voice acting is also great, and even contains voice overs by David Duchovny and even Marilyn Manson.

It's online play is also really fun, and the PS2 version has a hardcore following of players who are on every day. From what I hear, there no one playing online on the Xbox version, but I couldn't say about the PC version.

Area 51 is also available on the PC and the Xbox

I've edited out the load time for time sake.
