    One Of The Best Shooters Of All Time

    STALKER has been waited on for years. Now the time has finnaly come to play this game.As i firts started out i thought the game was horrid.I then decided to put it away.I got bored again and decided to play thro some more.and WOW was i wrong.AS you progress it gets better.It takes place in chernobyl Ukraine where the power plan blew up in 1986.This takes place in 2012 where a second explosion occurs and mutates humans and animals.You are a STALKER ( hence the name ) a mercanry who finds artefacts made from the anomlies and radation and sells them to others.This game is a FPS/RPG blend.The game is very tatical and very very hard, not for the casual gamer.Gravity Pulls bullets down so its hard to shoot.There is a system called ALIFE. which gives all AI charcters daily routines and objectives to carry out.As well each faction makes war with each other.The miltary is the enemy to all,they are also hardest to kill becasue they have the best body armor.Graphics are so so on low-medium ( for a medim ranged PC) graphics are nice and detailed on High with low lighting ( for middle to high with no lag) and Very High with Full Dynamic Lighting (for exteremly high PC) ( i can run it on that) are absolutly amazing It actually looks like a Xbox 360 game..almost oblivion like.Sounds are nice but at times annoying with many sounds going all the time...from birds to distant gunfire and explosinns to people talking.Real worl gun sounds are nice and accurate.Voice acting is chezzy at times but are cool to with Russian accents.The game is 39 bucks right now ( dont expect price drop soon) and comes with a special map depends where u by it. I have both codes...Best buy has 1 map and Eb games does to.This game will give hours of fun and free roam exploration.

      S.T.A.L.K.E.R is just one of those games where everything comes together perfectly. Sure, it can be glitchy as hell and the shooting at times is way off but the grim atmosphere of the zone and the rewarding feeling of accomplishment when taking out a big group of enemies is just too good to miss.StoryNow i'll be honest, I lost interest in the story part way through but i'll try and summarise what I remember. You play as a character simply known as "Marked One" and right at the start of the game ...

      There's a lot to like about this game, and a lot to be turned off by.  I'll start with a list of positives about the game, then go through the negatives.  Really Cool Atmosphere.  The sky is dark, clouds shift and move, decrepit trees and buildings peak out over a shattered countryside.  It really feels like a post-apocalyptic disaster area, with a Russian flair.Intriguing Story.  The game starts out with several mysteries that you follow up on.  Who are you?  What were you doing in a truck fill...
