The game world includes several square kilometers, the scenario is located at the nuclear reactor accident of Chernobyl. You start the game as a sort of bounty hunter who accepts various orders to fulfill his final project. The aim of this is still unclear at first, I want to give anything away, throughout history but thins out the shadows, which dominates the area around the well-known nuclear reactor in the world.
The graphics on a current system (mine: C2D @ 2400MHz, X1950 Pro, 2GB RAM) a dream. Who knows Oblivion, which is exceeded in its expectations. Dynamic light sources, detailed designed landscapes and interiors, fearsome monsters .., a lot of the graphics card is demanded smoothly.
Finally, there is again a game with artificial intelligence! The degree of difficulty is higher than in comparable games, but this is not due to superiority, but from wise programmed counterparty. This encourages all the more because you will not get frustrated - you realize just that you have to be wiser skilful precede to move forward.
I have the English version with partly English, mostly Russian language edition, which, however, the game is only so much the better for me. Who Oblivion knows who knows how ruckzuck-hush washed one a German localization may be contrary. In the English version, the important things are in English, the rest is Russian. I think that bears uncanny to the atmosphere. It shows if you penetrate for example in an underground terrain and enemy soldiers communicate with each other Russian, while only flashlight beside radioactive puddles only the distant enemy beam for orientation in the dark himself.
The control is largely intuitive. The Soundkullisse appealing.
Since System Shock again the first great success in genre for me. Absolutely worth buying!
