THE GOOD:
A game that uses the light gun.
Really fun when you have two players.

THE BAD:
Doesn't work with the Guncon.
Not really fun for single player games.
The game is way too short.
Don't even try to play this game with a controller.

SUMMARY:
When this game was out in the arcades, I had a lot of fun playing it. The only problem was that it became somewhat expensive when spending all of those quaters. The playstation game was the alternative. I already had a light gun so I decided to get the game. The first problem was that this game will not use the Guncon. I wound up getting a third party gun of lesser quality which occasionally glitches like crazy. I decided to play a single player game. It was alright, but lacked the feeling you get in the arcade while playing the game. I invited a couple of friends over and had a really good time with Area 51. This game is definately meant for multiplayer.

Bottom Line:
Good for multiplayer, Bad if you don't have a light gun other that the Guncon.
