STALKER is deserves a bit of a pat on the back. I was immersed into the game right away wondering what was going on. The 3d environments are great! Lots of chaos and unknown in the beginning until you start moving through the game. After about 30 minutes it reminded me of Fallout yet set in 3d. This is where the game lost some of its luster, meaning no original idea here. Yet I loved the shootouts with bandits and the AI is quite good. I'd love to see a bit more blood and gore in the game, yet I am avid 3d shooter and that is my taste. The game overall has substance and is playable for hours. I have to say I am interested in staying up and solving it. Great graphics as well. I wish I didn't have to keep running back to the Trader all the time, yet you learn to start making your own stashes. Good job THQ!
