After the smash success of the arcade version of Area-51, Midway
Entertainment has answered the calls for a console version of the
game. With a cool, sci-fi storyline that includes terrifying
aliens and mutants, and the est arsenal of human and alien
weaponry imaginable, Area-51 is a gory, first-person shooter
loaded with action.
Area-51, also known as Groom Lake, is a secret facility
about 90 miles north of Las Ve. The name refers to a large,
six-by-ten mile block of land that contains a covert,
U.S.- air base. The government refuses to comment on the
nature of this air base, and since the 1950s, Area-51 has been a
hotbed of UFO conspiracies and rumors of governmental cover-up.
Now, because of a catastrophic viral outbreak, all the secrets
are about to be blown wide open and only you -- Ethan Cole,
HAZMAT Spet -- can control the chaos, contain the outbreak,
and save planet earth.
The research facility at Area-51 has been shut down because of a
viral outbreak. The distress signal received by the U.S. Army has
activated the automatic quarantine procedures, locking all
scientific and personnel inside. It will be your mission
to dive into five massive levels within the secret confines of
the mysterious Area-51 to try to keep the virus contained.
Stacked with an arsenal of human and alien weapons, you will
battle scientists and personnel who have been infected
by the outbreak, as well as an ancient colony of aliens buried
deep beneath the facility. Along the way, you will also unearth
chilling conspiracies, such as the infamous extraterrestrial
c at Roswell and the faked lunar landing.
Once you've mastered the weaponry and completed your mission,
you can take your skills to the global level and compete with
others HAZMAT Spets online with your PlayStation2. With
cool s, fast-paced action, and fun gameplay modes, Area-51
delivers awesome single-player and multi-player action.
