This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Area 51 is a First-Person Shooter video game using the Unreal 2 engine and released on the Playstation 2, Xbox, and PC. Based loosely on the 1999 arcade rail shooter of the same name, the game takes place inside the famous Area 51 research facility in Groom Lake, Nevada, where the release of an alien virus has transformed the majority of the scientists and security staff into insane raging mutants. The player takes the role of Ethan Cole, a member of a 4-man biohazard cleanup team sent into the facility to contain the situation. As the game progresses Ethan is eventually separated from his team and ends up uncovering a massive conspiracy between the world-controlling Illuminati and the alien Greys who crash landed in the Nevada desert 50 years ago. Although it didn't do anything revolutionary, it was generally considered a competently made shooter and received mostly decent reviews. In particular, the developers were praised for their attention to detail regarding conspiracy lore. The game is notable for featuring the voices of David Duchovny as Ethan Cole, Powers Boothe as Mission Control Major Bridges, and Marilyn Manson as Edgar the rogue Grey. |
