A great game if you are not a fanaatik / expreienced / passionate gamer. (2 different opinions presented)
For a normal gamer this game will bring many6 satisfying hoursa of great fun in the wolrd of stalker. Everything seems to be alive the felling of the wolrd is great and the dinamics of each combat is absolutely great. The grapihcs takes the eyes at first sight and keeps them in "wonderland" while you play. RPG elements give life to you character and force you to have some sort of tactic when fighting. It is to mentione that the game is not easy and it takes takeing use to not killing oponets rambo style.
(fanatik gamer view)
All in all an above averege game, fun and worth playing. But if you are exerienced in the wolrd of gameiong you will find nothing more but a "deux ex" clone wiht "fallout" look and fell. Even the weapons resemble those of fallout in a way not to mention the world. "alive" system and "ai" are both under any standard, if playing non-conformist way (hide,run,wait for the npc to follow you) you can easilly trick the computer and win a fight with 10 machine gunner using only thee normal standard pistol. The wrold always changes and some elements may look nice but after a while of going back and fourth on the map the "alive" system goes crazy and send a lot of badits after you. The story is far from "at least onest" (it actually s**ks) and it does not make you enter the character. The sound is great ! The dialogs are fade and impersonal. The missions are lame and offer mostly money rewords. NOT so original artefact system. Incredible amumnt of bugs both in logics and gameplay. The good / original element don't work well the other are copied or ill implememented.
If you have player a lot of games (finished the clasics) you will find this game most disapointing. It can be finishedin 7 hours !!!!! (i waited for this game for so long only to find a lot of bugs and bad gameplay and i finish it 7 hours... this is not a good game!!!!!!! - personal opinion)
