Stalking the great shooter
This game is different enough from common shooter like 'Timeshift' to make it enjoyable even for old players like me who wet their teeth on 'Blood and Duke Nukem". The visuals are very good and definately lend to the atmosphere of the game. The story is intersting and plays a little like an RPG but your character never levels. Gameplay is difficult so save often. It all takes place in a depressing environment but that just makes it more realistic. There are few minor glitches but overall the game is well worth the time and money.

Huge game - lots of fun for a long time
Good graphics, excellent game play, good sound and Huge levels. VERY atmospheric. Definately well worth the money. Download the recent patches though. The 1.0 version of the game was unstable, and the patches break your save games, so apply the patches before you start the game.

Look out behind you!
Wow, this is one of the most extreme games I have ever played. Exelent graphics help set the stage in a future post Chernobyl landscape where few rules exist and danger is everywhere around you. The game has a creepy feel that will make you look behind yourself as you sit at the computer. The strange ambiant sounds and growling creatures created by the radiation will keep you on your toes, not to mention the ruthless enemy. This game is a combination of many other types of games. It has enough gunplay to satisfy any first person shooter fan, and an open ended style that can change every time you play the game. I have played this game over and over and it never seems to go the same way twice. This game is truely groundbreaking, and the most fun game I have played in years. It will take some time to get used to, but be patient, you WILL be rewarded with a excelent plot and plenty of exciting gameplay with endless ammounts of weapons. Buy this game and enjoy, you wont regret it!

Pretty realistic
It's a pretty good game - good sound, graphics, effects, music - you name it. It's not the easiest game to play - I am somewhere in the middle of game and getting kind of tired (or bored). But it is still very serious title that really deserves gamers' attention.

Don't pass this game up, it's worth every penny.
S.t.a.l.k.e.r. is the hidden jewel of the year. If you have somehow overlooked this game, may I suggest that you go and purchase it right now. Download the patches and install before playing. Then prepare to leave the real world for a few weeks while you figure out how to get yourself through the depths of S.t.a.l.k.e.r. After about an hours worth of learning curve at the beginning, it will begin to draw you into this land of nuclear disaster and all the high weirdness that comes with it. You will hunt for food, weapons and a seemingly endless assortment of items as you wind your way through this ghostly world. Don't expect to just rush through this game with guns ablaze-ing, as you won't last long. You have to think and fight your way through the madness. The game does have a few bugs from time to time as you progress, but this is easily forgiven as you discover the large wide openness and depth of the story. In my humble opinion, S.t.a.l.k.e.r. will grab and twist your imagination with it's unique storyline in a way that Bioshock or Crysis just can't touch. Don't let this jewel of a game pass you by.
