How utterly disgusted I am by this demo and the seemingly zero support of community relations from the developers amidst the glaringly blatant problems this demo comes with.

It seems evident to me that they didn't care one drop about the PC version of this game, having left such an amazingly disasterous bug in the game. It makes me wonder if this game actually went through quality assurance at all.

Even without this game breaking problem, the most apparant issues I found with this demo was the lack of options. There are no graphical, gameplay, audio or control options at all (and I wouldn't be surprised if the preset graphics are the cause of all the problems)

The control scheme blatantly shows just how little this game was developed for the PC. Over and above the fiddly mapping, the controls don't even conform to standard PC control setups.

Then the real icing of the cake and the pinnacle of developer arrogance, the demo doesn't even come with it's own installer. I have to go through the system control panel to remove this abomination.

Lastly, as a PC gamer, I've gotten used to lazy developers and less than adequate support for games but this; this is really the lowest of the low. I thought EA was horrible but this is bloudy pathetic.

The next game to carry the name of area 51 is "blacksite: area 51."

Area 51 was the first installment of the franchise.

Sorry just wanted to be a prick lol.

Mission accomplished
