Brief synopsis of Blacksite

Modern day fears come to life in a familiar, yet extraordinary setting: a small American town swarming with alien life. The government is desperate, struggling to contain secrets so terrible they can no longer be kept. Everything hinges on the action of Aeran Pierce, a former Special Forces assassin thrown into one of the most explosive moments in American history.

This game is really easy even when u play a more difficult level. Basic controls and simple story line set in Iraq. I have to agree with reviewer from Wakefield a low budget cheap game.

I read a few bad reviews about this game in magazines and thought i try it out anyway. When i first started playing it, i thought the graphics weren't that great, not awful, but could of been better. The controls were easy to get used to and as the game went on, the story line kept me interested. It seems like they rushed this one because it feels unfinished and probably would of been a bigger hit if they hadn't. There were a few things that annoyed me,for instance, some parts of the game you had to follow your teammate and he would just run into a wall and keep running into it lol so i would have to nudge him away, but besides that it wasn't a bad game and it kept me interested through to the end. If you're into sci fi shooters then this is for you, but i would recommend you rent it, rather than buyin.

Blacksite is not a bad game because it was made badly its a bad game because it feels unfinished, however if you like first person sci-fi shooters then by all means rent this. The storyline is decent once you get into it, the aliens you fight look pretty cool, even though you hardly get a chance to look at them and the gameplay is decent. It fails on its poor graphics and the fact that its really short, i managed to finish the campaign in about 6 hours. Its a shame this game has got poor ratings it could have been an awesome title

I found this game boring and low budget there are much better platform and first person shooter games on the market than this, I'm just glad I rented it and did not waste money buying it.
