Great Concepts and Cool Visuals can't Quite Save this Shallow Shooter

Ok, like I said in my title, this game has amazing graphics, and a very decent story. I really enjoyed the whole scope of the game (like driving across miles and miles of alien infested highway while you're making you're way from town to town. Another aspect I loved was the whole switch from the military look to the shootout at the abandoned gas station (truly classic material!) I do however have some serious reservations in reccomending this game.
1. Poor Dialogue. This game has pretty cheesy conversations and not the best voice acting either. : (

2. No Real Sense of Apocolypse or Terror. This game manages to out "shiny" itself (losing the grit of a true sci-fi terror game.

3. Feels Generic. I'm afraid this game has fallen into the rut so many have nowdays, and forgot to establish it's trademarks. tsk tsk. The game has no memorable main theme, no lovable main character-hero and no interesting twist of plot or theme.

Overall:
Area 51 is a highly entertaining shooter, that relies far too heavily on shiny graphics and generic action to solidify itself against other recent FPS ventures. Worth a rental!

If you're looking for a great shooter for the 360 I reccomend the far superior Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3.
