Customer Reviews

This is why Area 51 is kept secret
Blacksite has a great story, a very current world with of course a sci-fi twist. the graphics are not the best on the PS3, it's no Call of Duty both in graphics or gameplay, the controls work well for shooting but the squad command is a joke. Above all that the frame rate is awful, every minor load will slow or stop the game for 1-3 seconds, the audio from time to time will feel off, sometimes you'll hear an explosion from your grenade well after it already blew up. Overall this game had serious potential, i wanted to love this game, i waited since june for this release and was very disappointed.

Pros: Current story with elements of the war on terrorism,
The Shooting controls work well.

Cons: Framerate holds you back from enjoying the game,
the squad commands are not well utilized, Short campaign (6-7 hrs)

Decent...
This isn't a bad game, but it is a very average FPS. I thought that the story, graphics, and voice acting was above average. The different types of aliens that you get to shoot are cool, too. The thing that keeps this game from getting a higher score is the forgettable gameplay. Aiming is awkward, the environments aren't as destructible as advertised, the weapons are bland, your teammates are pretty dull... there are many other little problems that make this game barely average. If you want a great sci-fi FPS for the ps3, buy Resistance.

Kicks Arse!
great fun! not a big gammer, but like the 1st person shooter, you go to Rachel NV (I have been there), and kill aliens! Beat the game in a few days!
