Always wanted to visit Chernobyl, and this game gave me the chance!
This game gave us the tour to Chernobyl. It showed us with it's own story that mankind can go on a very wrong path.
Enough of my philosophies.
The game was great in few things. The effects when you cruise on the surface, the anomalies, the underground caves, the mutants, the other stalkers...amazing! But when I got a quest to go on foot 10+ kilometers, then I got a little disappointed. I liked the ore that you can find and other radiated stuff witch grants you bonuses, and in the other way - it takes some stats/resistances away.
The inventory didn't finish it's job enough. 99/100 of the game I was with 59.9 KG, I barely stayed alive :D. Could've made it better.
I played it 5 hours! Too much for me to play a FPS! I got great equipment, guns, armor, granades, THE GAUSS RIFLE ROCKS!!!!
I got reputation 1600+ and 170 000 RU, I thought I was on the right track to finish this epic quest, and I forgot to check onto the "kill Sterlok" quest. Got to the final place - and I got very edgy when I saw my end...
Worth the time, worth the money, but there are many bugs...
