I was expecting a lot from this game. It was supposed to be a graphical open world beast PC game during 2007. Truth is, it ain't any of that.
I wont say the graphics are bad, because they aren't when you max it out. But they sure are nothing special, specially if you compare it to much better looking games like Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2. The only graphics beast on PC in 2007 was Crysis, not this.
Sure KZ2 and UC2 are linear, and Stalker is... semi open world. Yes, not fully. The games world is divided into areas with loading screens between them. I was expecting a fully open world game like GTA. Another let down.
Boring missions, boring story, just plain boring. Even the ending was dull. There is more than one ending, i saw 2 of them and they are plain dull.
Voice acting is horrible. This is clearly not a big budget game.
Weapons fire and sound ok. I guess these Russian developers got something right! lol
The online i cannot comment about because all i got was an error when trying to connect to a server. Not like a care though since this game clearly is not worth playing online.
This game is just nothing special. It wasn't even that long either. I was expecting a better looking fully open world survival game... instead this game was lame.
