Description:
Area 51 is the only action-packed 1st person shooter set
in the U.S. government’s most secret and secure military facility.
The U.S. Army has received a distress signal from Area 51 where a viral
outbreak has just shut down the research facility and
the automated quarantine procedures have locked all scientific and
military personnel inside. A small Special Forces unit led
by Specialist Ethan Cole of the HAZMAT (hazardous materials) Division
is sent to investigate. As Cole, players will delve into
five massive levels within the confines of Area 51, discovering a deadly
mutagenic side effect of the virus that controls the
minds of those infected, as well as an ancient alien colony buried
beneath the facility. With a multitude of human and alien
weapons, players must explore chilling conspiracies such as the extraterrestrial
crash at Roswell and the faked lunar landing, in
order to solve the enigma of Area 51 before the viral mutagen is released
and irrevocably mutates all life on Earth.
