Description
On April 26, 1986, the world's worst nuclear accident occurred: Reactor 4 of the Chernobyl power station exploded, releasing clouds of radioactive matter. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within. It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, while some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s. Awakening in the Zone, you are one such S.T.A.L.K.E.R., fighting for survival in this man-made Hell, while trying to discover the truth behind Chernobyl's sinister past and ominous future.

Strengths: Awesome graphics. Open-ended gameplay. Great job of creating a eerie setting.
Weakness: Very difficult gameplay. Not as exciting as some games. I had some stability issues.
This is a good game, but I found it hard to play. It has great graphics, and an interesting story line. The problem I had is that it is very hard to play. The enemies are quickly alerted to your presence. Then your weapons are fairly ineffective and hard to aim, but the enemy has no problem tearing you up. I had to set the game on the easiest difficulty level and save a lot just to make it...
Strengths: Cool Armor, Guns, Exploration is rewarding, Graphics are amazing, Multiple Endings
Weakness: Some AI Issues, Bugs
You get to play in an alternate reality in Chernobyl with strange atmosphere of mutation and nuclear fallout. This is a unique game with great graphics, the plot is fantastic and the setting allows you to explore, all the time allowing you to find fun new armors and guns (one of the largest). It's a little bit of a First Person Shooter and a Role Playing Game that takes about 30 minutes to figure...

Strengths: Immersed environments, graphics, storyline.
Weakness: A bit buggy.
I've played dozens of FPS type games, and this has to be by far the most diverse one I've ever played. The storyline is great and very intelligent, the environments are rich and interesting and the graphics are excellent. In this game you become the stalker in the Chernobyl Zone. The bugs in the software were unbearable at first and the developer was slow to deliver updates. Past that, this game...
Strengths: Not the typical FPS
Weakness: Not the typical FPS
Was pleasantly surprised by this game from a relatively unknown developer. Even without the brand name, this game has proved to be a great spin on the typical FPS genre. Clive Barker's Jericho should have been more like this game. The horror genre has been revived.
Strengths: 1. Spooky and immersive atmosphere surrounds the player in a world that is far from normal. 2. Open ended gameplay allows for lots of exploration. 3. Weapons control and physics feel very realistic.
Weakness: 1. A decent gaming PC is needed for high or maximum settings with playable framerates. 2. Minor bugs and glitches hinder gameplay. 3. Can be difficult to progress early on, without some patience.
Before playing this game, I highly recommend updating Stalker with at minimum, the v1.0004 patch. This patch fixes a large number of in-game bugs and errors, increases game performance, and resolves many problems in the multiplayer game. ---------------------------------------... When trying to compare Stalker to previously played PC games, the first one that comes to my mind is the original Deus...
Strengths: Scary enemy models. Some includes bouns DVD.
Weakness: High requirement for smooth gaming.
Stalker is another one of those FPS games that tries the scary story approach. The main story is Stalker, the player, is trying to uncover some unknown story about the Chernobyl meltdown. The weapons are fairly close to the real live weapons and there are some more advance weapons as with other FPS game. The gadgets, armors, and accessories are also mix of realistic and futuristic fantasy ones....
Strengths: Unique setting. Open ended. Lots to do.
Weakness: Not very revolutionary.
Stalker is a good geam that falls short of greatness. It has an original concept for a setting, which occurs in a virtual recreation of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The radiation there has created all sorts opf nasties, but there's also treasures to be had, and as a mercenary you need to survive and find what you're looking for. The gameplay is good, but typical. It has a nice open world to play...
Strengths: A superb mix of RPG and FPS, nice graphics, great open world
Weakness: Needs a monster computer rig to run well, inventory management is horrible
STALKER is a game that has been in development for quite some time. And apparently the time was well spent. STALKER is a superb mix of FPS, RPG and open world genres and creates a game that you can really get into. The graphics are good and the gameplay is action packed and getting new weapons for your character can be addicting. The only problem is you need a really good computer to run this...
Strengths: great graphics, creepy noises, free roam-ish. lots of cool guns and different ammo types.
Weakness: after the game ends you can't roam around and beat side quests and stuff, it just ends and you have to start a new game or reload to an earlier time.
make sure you get the 1.3 patch or whatever, i got it before i even started to play and i never had it crash or anything like that. but just an awesome game, you will play it until you beat the last mission and thats a lot of game play.

excellent first-person shooter
Strengths: excellent game play; awesome graphics; realism; open-air levels
Weakness: game instability; characters' faces look a bit outdated; characters' voices sometimes disappear
this is a great first-person shooter. i would say it can be associated with a mixture of HL2 and Fear. if you like very realistic games with open-air plans, like BF2 or FC or some levels in HL2, you will like this game. the game can get pretty scary, sometimes worse than Fear. you will see very realistic Soviet surroundings and monsters like in HL2 or Doom. the characters you interact with can...
