Full Spectrum is an extremely hard Ghost recon style game.  Its much more realistic.
Area 51 is a very average FPS. If your bored and want a new game to play for a few hours its good enough especially free.

Is Area 51 like the arcade version shooter that was out for a long time??  That was always a fun way to spend a couple of quarters.  I have been playing a lot of Flat Out: Ultimate Carnage.  It is basically a much better looking flat out 2 with more cars and the same tracks.

Full SPectrum Warrior rox!  I used to play it on the original xbox.  Good find, I didn't know about this.  FSW is kind of a strategy shooter where you control a squad of 4 guys from a 3rd person view.  It has a nice co-op feature where two people each control a squad.
That's Mr. Deception to you.

Didn't the military use FSW as a tactics simulator training tool? I think I read that when it came out originally.
Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

They did...kind of, but they may have gotten ripped off.

Controversy

Full Spectrum Warrior became the subject of some controversy shortly after it was released. The two primary complaints aired were that the Army was not using their training version of the game because it was not "realistic enough".[6] Secondly, the Army had been short-changed.[7] There was some discussion in the press regarding whether the government had either wasted money on the project, or if they had been taken advantage of by Pandemic Studios, and Sony Pictures Imageworks, their partner on the project.



That's Mr. Deception to you.

Area 51 is nothing like the old arcade game. It is a first person shooter with aliens atacking earth.

Yeah that sounds nothing like the old arcade game.  I mean it was a fps about aliens on earth attacking and mutating humans.  They sound nothing alike.
