This game is good but definitely use the Complete Mod, and if, like me, you hate respawning enemies look up a No Respawn Mod, that way areas you take over will stay yours. I give this 4 stars with the mods, otherwise it would be lower.

Clear Sky was the weakest point of the series but never the less it has all the good points from the other games atmosphere atmosphere and more atmosphere.

With mods this is 4 stars, without them it's only 3. It's a bit too buggy otherwise.

If you like the other stalker games you'll like this one

This game is very hard, even for a seasoned veteran of Shadow of Chernobyl. There is further emphasis on factions, and much of the intro involves being a goon for the faction Clear Sky. I got a little ways in, but I was killed when trying to clear some other faction members out of a building. Very tough game, but I'm sure it's worth it.

When I first time played this game it was awful, buggy, unstable. With the time it was released Stalker Clear Sky Complete mod that corrects majority of errors left by developer and adds further enhancements that only passionate players/moders know how to give to piece of software that means something. And STALKER franchise is definitely not something that any serious gamer wants to miss.

In conclusion, great game with a great atmosphere but Complete mod is a must.

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series is my one of my favorite game franchises. For me, and many others, Clear Sky was the low point of the series. However, even though it wasn't as well received as Shadow of Chernobyl or Call of Pripyat, it's still an extremely atmospheric and challenging first person shooter. Although the game suffered from a lot of bugs when it was launched, patches have fixed the vast majority of these. Also, as a previous reviewer has noted, the freely available 'Complete' mod makes this game look beautiful. Well... as beautiful as The Zone can get.

This game has some really cool new levels, as well as some recycled from Shadow of Chernobyl.

It crashed for me at the Limansk level, but that might be because I used the excellent Clear Sky Complete mod, which allows cheating and fixes some bugs, and because i tried symlinking it to a ramdrive.

The combat is tough for the entire first level, with only enough ammo for a pistol and a shotgun. There's not much AK or MP5 ammo in the first level.

The graphics are gorgeous, especially with the free 'complete' mod.

The game now lets you modify weapons and armour, but now depending on your suit, the number of artifacts you can hold is limited to between 2 and 5.

The game has hilarious dialogue at a certain 'freedom' base, and the conversations with the NPCs are well done.

As usual for a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game, the wonderful guitar tracks add a great atmosphere to the bleak and lonely levels.

There are some problems, especially with the vanilla game. It's hard to keep stocked with first aid in the zombie level, and sometimes a 'faction war' objective is too far away to get to in time without chugging 5 or 6 energy drinks, depending on how much weight you're carrying.

If i can get limansk working after a reinstall, I'll be glad to find out how this game ends.

This game is totally worth it for 5 or 6 USD, and even 10$ is not a bad deal if you've never played it before. Also it's DRM free, so even if I owned this on steam, I still would have bought it DRM free on this site. Gamersgate, please release Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat DRM free on this site as well.

I can't wait for Survarium.

The setting of this game is an immersive one, which looks better than the original due to updated graphics engine. Even though this game has an interesting story which is a prequel to the original game, however, it has a steep learning curve, the AI is still kind of retarded, and a number of bugs is rather surprising from a company that had the experience of working on that title, and delaying the release did help to an extent, so in short the game as long as it does not crash is pretty good, with interesting plot, variety of weapons and upgrades, the environments are slightly different, and some have places from Stalker books, which is a rather nice addition.

Clear Sky is like the same old STALKER, good atmosphere, great exploration gameplay, good AI. It also add some new elements like faction war. If you like the first game, you shall instantly fall in love with this. Now this game also has problem. It is true that the AI is great, the difficulty is too high as enemies can take a lot of damage. Challangering is good, frustration is not. It also has more bugs than the first game. There are a lot of discussion about if the first game or this one is better (while third one being the best), I would say all of them worth playing.

Clear Sky is a woefully under-appreciated gem. STALKER is an open-world survival horror FPS with some elements of an RPG thrown in for good measure, resulting in an experience not found in any other game. What interests me most about the series was it's "A-life" system, meaning that every NPX and creature in the game has it's own AI paths which result in fairly unpredictable encounters. Clear Sky takes this idea and turns it up a notch with the faction system. Throughout the game, AI will dynamically battle each other for land and control of the zone, leading to some truly unique and memorable encounters for every player.

Aesthetically, the game holds up fairly well to this day. The drained colors match the atmosphere perfectly and the usually non-existent soundtrack gives the player no respite from the Zone's harsh conditions. Atmosphere is the name of the game here, and no game does it quite like STLAKER.

If there's one downside to this game (and it's a fairly big downside) is it's performance. When it was first released I had a lot of trouble getting the game to run above 15 FPS on a midrange computer, and every thirty minutes or so it would either CTD or fail to trigger some setpiece as part of a mission. These have gotten better in recent times, but they are still somewhat of an issue.

Glitches aside, I cannot highly recommend Clear Sky enough. STALKER is already a unique series and Clear Sky takes the most interesting part and elevates it to an experience unlike any other.

I remember playing this game a few years ago.

There is alot of freedom, the opened spaces are really big.

Alot of quests and much less bugs than in the first installment of the Stalker series.

The game will be liked by anyone who enjoys hard fps (where it is easy to die and where it is not ok to run into enemies without any planning).

The graphic is still not bad even today.

Story... not as good as in 1st part but enough to keep you playing.

Game is one of those few which are still fun even when playing for the 2nd,3rd,4th,5th,x time ;)

Clear Sky as every STALKER game out there is good , i have to say that the open world fill to it is a bit lost . You're kinda lost in the game sometimes , that's the only negative thing i found about it .

As every other STALKER game this game rocks !

superb graphics , sound , gameplay , everything!

The only thing i may add . There's alot of mods for the all 3 STALKER games so its basically endless game , everytime you download something new.

Clear Sky is a nail-biting excursion into the unknown. Impressive enemy AI is one of the biggest reasons for this. Enemy stalkers make excellent use of cover, crouch and move away when they reload, flank you whenever possible, and generally react in plausible ways. They're tough cookies, so even at standard difficulty, you can't play as you would a standard first-person shooter. The only successful approach is to act and react as you would in real life: with caution and perseverance.

This game gives more of the Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl experience without getting repetitive or boring. The environment is as atmospheric and vast as before, the gameplay is about the same, the story is very exciting and there are a number of factions to be friends with or not.

I would give this game five starts if it did not have some of the bugs and rough edges in terms of graphics. But still, in terms of perfomance issues it is a step ahead of its predecessor and many of bugs from Chernobyl seem to have been fixed.

Clear sky is even more of a shooter than Chernobyl and is a must have for Stalker fans.

Fun game in my opinion. The Zone has a certain feel to it. You're on Earth, but the Zone seems like a alternate universe. Between the mutants, different factions and the hostile enviroment there is hardly any where safe. The atmosphere is nice in the few safe areas, like when you walk by a campfire an see a few guys eating and playing guitar. I like the fact that there are a large variety of guns all of which can be upgraded to suit your style.

Cons: even on easy mode, human enimies seem to be able to take lots of damage. A guy in a leather jacket shouldn't be walking around after 5 AK rounds to the chest. So you have to aim for the upper chest/head area with assualt rifles and kinda hope for a head shot since all weapons have bullet spread. Also the enemy seems unnaturally good and making thier grenades land right between your feet.

Other thoughts, if you are just picking this up for the first time it will be fun. Install the game and install the latest patch before you start playing. Most issues have been resolved with the latest patches. If you don't like the difficulty or the way the game feels there are tons of mods out there that will alter anything you want.

Though all games have their fans, unique games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. seem to generate particularly enthusiastic followers, and deservedly so. The first game presented a very unique experience and, by and large, Clear Sky sticks close to that model. So if you liked the first game because it was big and dense and scary, then you'll like Clear Sky for the same reasons. And if you like the original but wish that it offered more GRAW-style action, then Clear Sky is even better.

Not everything works, of course. The faction fights seem too easy, which is balanced out, we suppose, by the ridiculously accurate grenade throws. The story doesn't offer much of a foundation for the action, either. The real shame of it all is that the game was let out the door with so many bugs, some that merely slowed our progress and dampened our enjoyment, and one that actually stopped us cold. Many of these issues are bound to be addressed in upcoming patches but we'd wait until the game has at least a few under its belt before trying to tackle it again.

Pretty good game. You play in a post apocalyptic world that is filled with terrible creatures. In this world there are factions which you can fight alongside. There is a pretty decent amount of weapons in the game which start to degrade after using them for a while.

My concern before buying was: is this going to be replacing my copy of the first STALKER?

The answer is yes, and that's not a bad thing. If you have STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and are getting even slightly tired with it, then switch to Clear Sky. It's not quite the same, but again mods are always there. It's not worse or better than SoC, it's different but familiar enough.

I did not like this game at all. I bought it for the post-apocalyptic atmosphere and for the several good reviews I read, but my game was plagues by bugs and horrible graphic. The combat was also just horrible. You might like the multiplayer settings, but I really did not care for those either. Overall, a total waste of time.

Really good game, it follows up on the same principles and the first game but with a Faction twist. You can join and fight alongside factions. Most people find it annoying I myself find it more enjoyable as this is how i look on the zone, divided in factions. It wasnt that obvious before.

Just wished they did more to it... The story is very interesting and the game is still very challanging. There are also some very awesome mods out there (some of which REALLY makes the game hard).

The multiplayer component is quite crap though.

love post apocalyptic nuclear games always fun exploring a destroyed city, then some freaky enemies added in makes it a fun filled fps :)

Fun game, would be nice if it were multi player co-op... but I suppose someone would say it'd ruin the game... there needs to be more FPS co-op games! Anyway all around a fun game :D

This is one of the most interesting games I have played. Well, at least regarding First person shooters.

It is the sequel to STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl(SoC), the story itself plays before the events in SoC. You are playing a guy named Scarface, who has to hunt Strelok, a character you should be familiar with if you played SoC. Why? Well that`s explained during the first few minute of the game.

A few features: Faction sytem, which unfortunately does not work that well as the factions sometimes eliminate their enemies quite fast.

Weaponry: Well mostly russian firearms , but there are quite a few western ones( NATO/USA) too.

The game is unfortunately not as good a the newest part of the STALKER family : STALKER: CALL of Prypiat.

There are however quite a few mods out there which greatly enhance gameplay: take a look for example at Planet-Stalker.de which is a good german source for mods. STALKER.filefront.com is a good source for these too.

So if you`ve got a few bucks to spare, try it. At the moment it costs about five €, which is quite a bargain.

this is one of those game that are set in a post apocalyptic setting and let me tell you this it has a great atmosphere and great loot system and a great shooting mechanic if you're wondering is this a rpg not really you don't really level up but is has that felling with the trading aspect of the game get this game really great game better than fallout .

This game is a good buy. You get to control a character who's mission is to eliminate a guy called "Strelok". On your journey, you get to handle a variety of weapons, complete numerous interesting and creepy quests, fight clan wars and hunt for artifacts. The game also offers a very, very creepy truelike atmosphere that will make your pants drop.

Even though the game is good, I must admit that this is not that good compared to Shadow of Chernobyl. The plot is the same, just new environment and content. The clan wars is an annoying thing aswell, since if you want to really benefit from the clan you choose, you must almost completely eliminate the opposing clan... and that is very frustating to carry out. They spawn quite fast and attack the perimeter you just conquered, thus you must go back and reconquer it.

All in all, I recommend this, but bear in mind, this is the worst of the 3 games. 3/5 stars.

Clear Sky is a sequel to the very popular Shadow of Chernobyl, though it is set prior to the first game.

The feel is much the same as SoC, with only a few changes to the gameplay. So, if you liked SoC, you'll probably like CS just fine!

Factions are the biggest change to the gameplay, as it gives the game a bit more of a mission-based feel; it puts more emphasis on the mercenary aspect and less on the exploration aspect.

Playing SoC first is not necessary, though I would recommend it, as it helps you understand who some of the characters in this game are and how everything fits into the overall story of the series.

I would also recommend playing it with the excellent Clear Sky Complete mod installed, which improves textures, sound and music, fixes a few bugs and makes some minor tweaks to gameplay.

Everything about the game was very enjoyable. My only complaints would be the occasional bug or glitch, and that the loading times are not great (as with SoC). There were some very enjoyable and memorable missions. Overall, great!

The STALKER series is one of my favorites. They combine FPS gameplay with inventory management. That's probably my favorite part, the inventory management. I love looting corpses for their guns and medkits, then reaching the weight limit and having to quickly scan my inventory for junk to throw out while people shoot at me. This describes just about 90% of the encounters I've had with human enemies... Mutants are another story. The combat works very well, but in my opinion the inventory management is what really makes it fun. Up to this point, however, I've been describing every game in the series -- only so much is exclusive to each game. So as for what is specific to S:CS...

Clear Sky introduced a weapon upgrade and repair system to the series. This is a great improvement on the previous system, in which you had to search for special, pre-modded versions of weapons. These would run out of uses, however, and you'd be back to crappier weapons. I very much like the upgrade system for several reasons. It gives the feel of RPG systems, and it means I end up carrying some weapons from the beginning of the game all the way to the end. I don't need to, and there are certainly better weapons in some cases, but these weapons are *my* weapons, the ones I've brought all the way to that point. Also the ammo is cheaper for earlier guns.

CS also introduced a faction war system. Though the STALKER series always has you at some point get involved in the fight between Duty and Freedom, Clear Sky has a sort of mini campaign in which you fight for a faction to defeat their rivals. This is buggy as hell, though, and it wasn't even brought to the next game in the series, a fact indicating how good of a system this was.

CS's graphics are excellent, too. I love the weather effects. Google it, they have tech demo videos which prove this point much better than I can explain in words.

One big issue I must mention is that the game is quite buggy. I can only recommend playing it with the Clear Sky Complete mod installed, which not only improves the graphics, but the stability as well. Oh, and performance. On a gts250, this game ran smooth as butter.

While I'm on the subject of S:CS:C, I'd like to mention the atmosphere of the game. It is improved by the mod, but even in the vanilla form of the game it is excellent. Despite being ruined somewhat by the easily accessible quick save, the game still manages to get me scared in its dark underground segments (of which there are, tragically, very few in this iteration) and intense firefights. Unfortunately, a certain sequence was somewhat anticlimactic in my first playthrough due to various bugs that resulted in a 'boss' character just standing there, waiting to be shot at. Additionally, the first time I neared completion of this segment, this boss had somehow attained invulnerability, forcing me to start over at the beginning of the sequence. This is nothing new, really, the STALKER series is known for being buggy, but this segment was really story-heavy and my experience wasn't that great.

Speaking of story, this game is a prequel, and as such, you don't need to play the first game to understand it.

All in all... Yeah, it has it's bugs, buuuut... play it.

The sequel of Shadow of Chernobyl, come with some graphics improved, a new story and new gameplay: Faction wars. Make sure you play Clear Sky with Clear Sky Complete mod which could found easily on moddb.com. This mod simply is a graphic enhanced, it does not change anything from game. A nice FPS game with some RPG elements. Recommended!

An excellent continuation in the series. As you can read from the official description, Clear Sky introduces several interesting gameplay elements in an immersing, huge and epic world that will hold you enthralled for countless hours. If you liked the first game, there's really no reason not to pay your visit to the zone once more. Happy hunting! :)

This is an very interesting game.

If you liked the first game you would surely like this game too.

But it has alot of new addition and a big fanbase.

This is a must buy if you are fan of stalker.

STalker Clear Sky has some nice features you will not find Shadow of Chernobyl as weapon and armor upgrades and especially repairs so you can ceep your favorite gun forever now.

Then there is also the faction war.

I think the fact that you can choose your side and battle it out with others who truly rules the zone is very nice.

The voiceacting seems to be very polarizing as my friends and me either liked or disliked it.

Personally I liked as it reminded me of some old B Spy Movies I liked a lot.

About the Graphics i would say that they are ok, nothing spectacular but also no cases of "God I think my eyes rotted away".

I think everybody who enjoy´s a story while shooting people/mutants/whatever will like Stalker Clear Sky.

P.S. : Though it is a Prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl

(I played that aswell) I did not notice a single instant where you did need knowledge of the SoC story

Summary:

-Nice Shooter with a good story

-Enjoable Firefights with a realistic feeling

-Good Mods out there in the net

-Average Graphics(Nowaday´s)

-Faction War will give you the feeling to actually achieve something for your faction

-Voce acting has a strong "wanna be" russian accent

(atleast in the German Voice Acting)

The original game offers better story and feels more fluent and less constrained, but Clear Sky is a nice piece of the collection nevertheless.

From the technical point of view, it offers a few minor graphical improvements over Shadow of Chernobyl, but nothing spectacular. Sound effects are above average, and the gun-upgrading system can entertain you for a while. The faction wars are a nice addition. Overall, I would rate it a 4.

Great game! Superb atmosphere, fantastic gameplay, good visuals and great sound! One would wonder why this isn't a 5/5 then: and that is because unfortunately the game is marred with bugs and glitchs that even though the game has underwent TEN updates it still has them aplenty...

That being said, this is a MUST play! What are you waiting for? Go, and grab this!

First of all, I've never played Shadows of Chernobyl, so I'll not make any comparisons between the two titles.

Clear Sky is absolutely a must-have, if you like FPS with a bit of story evolving by different types of action. Customization is limited to weapons and armors, but the economic system works, and makes you suffer a bit if you want to buy better equipment, when you approach the game for the first time.

Sound system also works very well, sending you exactly in the field, and sometimes it can really make you jump on your chair when someone start shooting at you from a hidden position, or when a creature crawls at your feet and start biting.

The faction system also can make you ignore the main goal, but you can be really satisfied following the destiny of the faction of you choice.

The game, overall, is a very good product. A bit difficult for someone who never played the first game (like me!), but in a couple of hours you'll manage to start kicking some ass!

The life of Zone becomes happier by graphic that improves.

It is possible to participate in all the factions except Monolith. Therefore, you can fight with the antagonist with the companion of your faction. Let's rule Zone in your favorite faction!

For STALKER fanatics, Clear Sky is definitely worth playing, but may prove disappointing. For the rest of us, I would recommend skipping this one and going directly to the much better-realised Call of Pripyat. Clear Sky is plagued by technical issues, as well as several gameplay changes that didn't really work in the minds of most fans. If this was the only game in the series, it probably would have received a rapturous reception; as it is, it lacks the sense of originality that made Shadow of Chernobyl so special, and simply can't compete with Call of Pripyat for technical polish, gameplay balance and atmosphere.

Shadow of chernobil was sort of a surprise for many. It mixed well elements from rpgs and fps. This was well received, especially, when it came from a small studio. The second installment constitutes a prequel of the previous game. The technical details are improved from Shadow of Chernobil, although this improvement implies a increased number of bugs and a bad optimization. The atmosphere is still similar to that of Shadow of Chernobil, however, there is no element of suprise compared to the first part of saga. In any case, This is a recommendable game if you liked Shadow of Chernobil.

Not quite the experience that the first one is, S.T.A.L.K.E.R clear sky is still worth playing.

If you are new to the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series the basic concept is that of an alternate reality revolving around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. A second nuclear disaster has happened at the site causing odd changes in the area, mutants have appeared along with dangerous anomalies and valuable artifacts. These artifacts have lured several groups of people to the place. Known as stalkers, these individuals battle each other and scavenge the area.

The game is a prequel to the first game, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow Of Chernobyl, so i would highly recommend playing that game first. It is a tactical FPS with elements of roleplaying (you can carry a limited amount of items/weapons, trade with people and accept various "quests.")

Without spoiling the plot of either game, the real strength of these games are athmosphere. The oppresive and threatening atmosphere of The Zone is something every gamer should experience.

This game looses some of the horror elements of the first one and instead gains an added focus on wars between the different factions. If any of this sounds intriguing, it would be worth picking up, just make sure to play the first (superior) game before this one.

After just recently bought myself another FPS game, I wasn't planning on buying another one. But since this was on sale, I just bought it for later use, However, after trying it out, I was surprised, this isn't any ordinary FPS, its like an FPS and an RPG. These types of games are what I was looking for. An FPS with a touch of RPG on it. So in the end, I was playing this instead of the first FPS title I bought. If you are looking for an FPS game with a touch of RPG on it, this one is for you. Honestly, it is my first time playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series so I wasn't expecting what I'm getting, it turned out that I was missing a lot for not playing them.

Since it is my first time playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R., I cannot compare it with its other series, but, as a first time player of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky, I'm very satisfied with it. I already mentioned that 'Game Play'-wise, it is already beyond best in my opinion, for graphics, it really pushes your hardware's capability so it is a good title for testing your gaming hardware. For those who don't have a good hardware, don't worry, you can still enjoy it since you can properly adjust the graphics to your hardware unlike other games that doesn't give you the liberty to adjust graphics details.

I just have only 1 negative comment about this game, when there is a dialogue, the protagonist doesn't seem to have any voice file at all so it is sometimes a bit awkward to listen to a seemingly monologue conversation. But that's too minor to be considered negative at all.

Btw, I have read from some reviews that there was a problem with the 'sun ray' on some hardwares, although I didn't seem to have encountered that, perhaps you should check that before buying this title, but according to them, it is very negligible (perhaps that's the reason i didn't notice it at all. Yeah I do read reviews first before buying, you should too ^_^.)

Overall, I gave this game a solid 5. Good Graphics, Good Sound, Good Story, Good Concept, Good Game!

Stalker Clear Sky is a very interesting game. Having played the original Stalker, Clear Sky is much improved in several ways, but most importantly the atmosphere of the game has improved. The game is slightly pushed more toward the survival aspect of the Zone. The original Stalker made you fend for yourself but it was almost too easy. Clear Sky makes life a little more difficult and fun; your survival instincts kick in more fully, as every mission and exploration could be your last. You still have to be tough as nails to survive through much of the combat, as a couple well placed shots will kill you just as easily as your own attacks kill others. The faction system is also a welcome improvement. You're no longer the only mover and shaker in the Zone, as each faction is constantly vying for control of parts of the Zone, and you're usually needed to tip the balance. Unfortunately the biggest downfall of Clear Sky is the buginess; it is not perfect, and keep at least 3 different save slots. Be sure to patch to the latest update before you start playing as your saves will NOT be playable from this version. Other than that, Clear Sky is a fun game with some good adrenaline moments.

Under the caveat that I'm writing this about a fully-patched version of the game, I can only recommend Clear Sky whole-heartedly, especially for fans of the original Stalker.

Everything that made the original game great is here, but it's surprising just how new the game can feel at times. Even when moving through the original game's locales, the new emphasis on ground-based squad combat makes the game a very different take on the same general gameplay as the first. It's a much less lonely experience, and the horror aspect has been dialed down - while some consider these negatives, I don't. The first game still exists, after all. The tonal shift is a major reason why Clear Sky doesn't get boring.

That said, the level of overall tension is much higher - mostly because this game is much more difficult. Death comes faster, the odds are constantly against you, making money is very challenging (and losing it is easy). This is a high-stakes game, and it's all the better for it.

Stalker CS is what the original Shadow of Chernobyl should have been. It fixes what was broken in the original and adds plenty enough to make it an actually fun game to play, the first game was just too much hassle to get running back when it was newer.

For starters the technical side, I got Clear Sky to run faster than Shadow of Chernobyl. It also looks better and has anti-aliasing on, which makes the speed bonus so much better. next, widescreen support. This was sorely needed in the original, because all you can get nowadays for a PC is widescreens and games made around 2005-06 mostly didn't support that, giving you either a distorted fish-eye view or a window. Not in Clear Sky, it's supported and runs fine.

Gameplay. Now you can modify guns a variety of ways to make them your own, and some mods don't work with each other so you have to pick carefully. You can change the SMG from 9x19mm (the 9mm we use) into the 9x18mm russian bullet, which is at least 4 times as common in Clear Sky so you can go full auto without watching your hard earned money fly into bushes when you miss. Also you can repair stuff. This was sorely missing in the original, because special guns in the first game would be thrown away after you fire a few hundred bullets from them. Now you can make your own gun without randomly finding it and repair it to keep it forever, something to make you unique. You can also modify armor with nightvision or gasmasks, kevlar plates to stop bullets and hard leather inserts to soften the impact through the kevalr, etc.

To finish this there is also the faction system where you go to war against factions with the one you choose, and objectives are randomly made that you have to achieve on the fly. The more guys that die, the less you have on the field. Thees also equipment, the more resources you capture on a battlefield the better your guys are equipped, but the main difference I see is just them getting a notch up in the gun scale (double barrel shotguns to sub-machinegun) when the bar is really high, and in the middle of the resource bar your guys start chucking grenades more often. Nice touch in my opinion.

If you like the original, you will guaranteed like Clear Sky better no matter what. If you didn't like the original, you may like this one as it's glitch free in the 5 hours I played it so far. If you didn't try the original, well if you like realistic gunfights where you can die in a couple of shots with decent armor then give this game a try sometime.

My only complaint is the accent some of the voice actors have, English speaking Russian imitator who try to sound like communists were thought to in the cold war, a bit much fake accent but I can stand it because you can read the dialogue 90% of the time so it can be overlooked. 5/5 stars from me.
