    FEATURES

    In 1986 the world’s most horrific nuclear disaster took place in Chernobyl. After subsequent unexplained explosions in 2006, a military zone is set up preventing access to this area. Stories of huge anomalous energy disturbances and strange sightings within the Zone are rife. Only the foolhardy or insane venture in. After having been found unconscious in the zone, you have become a S.T.A.L.K.E.R., a mercenary paid by scientists and other undisclosed groups, searching for strange artifacts, information and technologies while striving to regain your memory. However, you’re not alone: rival S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s, military guards, mutants and deadly anomalous creatures stand in your way as you begin to unravel the mystery of the Zone and your own identity.

    • Amazingly powerful and atmospheric re-creation of a grim apocalyptic world of Chernobyl filled with anomalies, mutants, and radioactivity.
    • Huge open world environment of “the zone”, behaving as the principal character of the game and offering unique atmosphere and gaming environment.
    • Dynamic night & day and weather changes, impacting game-play and mission outcome.
    • Enemy Threat Evaluation AI system enabling NPC characters to react dynamically to environment and situation, providing high degree of realism and high re-playability value.
    • Immersive storyline, seamlessly blended with non-linear living world, offering over 60 hours of game-play.
    • Unique FPS/Survival game. Gameplay focused on survival in a hazard-abundant world of the Zone.
    • Gameplay combining action, stealth and survival elements.

    The atmosphere of the game is so thick that you can cut it...Even though it all ends kind of sudden[ly], S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is still one of the best First Person Shooters I’ve played in a long time, especially if you like the post-apocalyptic atmosphere from games like "Fallout."

    This game was surprisingly excellent. It has a number of annoyances, such as travel being difficult and sometimes tedious, and crashes to desktop. But in Stalker's case these things can be forgiven because the game is just so fresh in so many ways. Combat is more realistic, at least before you gather a number of magic/radioactive pieces of equipment that help you become superhuman. The very first 'tutorial' mission lightly pokes fun at the Rambo mentality of a lot of first person shooter games. Stalker's main point of attraction is its atmosphere. The mysterious 'zone' is lively, dangerous and fun to explore. The world feels active and interesting most of the time. One final note, which may attract some and repel others, is that the game is surprisingly hard. Even as a veteran of first person shooters playing on the middle difficulty, I had to carefully plan my encounters if there were more than a few enemies or I would likely die. Overall a very fun game that kept me engaged quite well. Would have gotten a 5 star rating if not for bugs and instability.

    What a marvelous surprise! S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is a nice combination of FPS high stakes action with the equipment collection and strategic combination of said gear ala RPG. For anyone who liked Fallout 3, STALKER is sure to please, although it does lack lvling up, but the story elements are interesting and engaging as you would expect from an RPG (and something that is lacking in many FPS). In short it's worth top dollar and it will give you hours upon hours of shooting joy!
