S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is the third entry in the acclaimed S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. Using the real-life Chernobyl disaster as the game's backstory, Call of Pripyat takes players into a world where treasure hunters, mutants, bandits, and mercenaries roam the lanscape, often in bloody conflict with one another. The game offers single-player mode and multi-player mode, and combines the qualities of a first-person shooter (FPS) and a role-playing game (RPG). Story Year: 2012, Place: Pripyat, the wasted city near Chernobyl, site of the world's most devastating nuclear accident. Decades later, unstable and inexplicable artifacts with malevolent powers are discovered within the zone. High risks do not stop the S.T.A.L.K.E.Rs, paramilitary adventurers and looters from entering the zone for profit. They are willing to face death to make a fortune by retrieving and selling those precious artifacts. When 5 military helicopters disappear in the zone, you must go undercover as a S.T.A.L.K.E.R and face off against mutants, an onslaught of enemy creatures, and other bizarre atrocities that reveal the true face of terror. Gameplay Where most first person shooters rely on relentless action to engage their players, Call of Pripyat goes in an entirely different direction: allowing for long moments of silence amidst a desolate landscape and an ever changing vista. It's the stuff grade-A horror movies are made of. The haunting atmosphere tries the nerves of even the most seasoned gamer. The environment is dynamic: day and night alternate and are filled with thunderstorms and sunshine. Deadly radioactive emissions occur periodically but unpredictably, killing anyone and anything who cannot find shelter. Players will live the life of undercover agent Major Degtyarev, an experienced stalker, as he eats, drinks, and sleeps in the Zone. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. CoP is non-linear gameplay at its best, as the player seeks allies and makes enemies in the treacherous and fragile balance between rival factions, bandits, and mercenaries. Friendships are only temporary in the Zone, where a bullet that was supposed to protect can become the instrument of death in a matter of split seconds. Multiplayer modes provide endless enjoyment as players compete against each other individually and in teams to increase their rank and money. Climbing up the ladder is the way to get access to the most devastating weapons. A player's success depends on his proficiency in warfare and his ability to help his team. Play on the Internet or over LAN includes: Death Match--every man for himself, the goal is survival; Team Death Match--Stalkers and Mercenaries go head-to-head in a battle of Soviet vs. NATO weaponry; Artifact Hunt--a small amount of artifacts and a large amount of greed clash Stalkers and Mercenaries compete to collect valuables; Capture the Artifact--capture the enemy's artifact and bring it home. Key Game Features - Photorealistic graphics depicting the Zone

 Stalker C of P September 6, 2010
John H. Turner (north carolina)
I'll keep my comments pithy. The game drags. Action is few and far between. Too much talk between characters. Sound and graphics average. The original was much better.

...I shoot and shoot and shoot and the man/enemy won't die. I die... and repeat the chapter for the 10th time. Sucks. Not fun. Where is HalfLife(3) when you need it. I give up (and loose my time and money.) Graphics? Boring... and 'jittery' on a good system. That's all I have to say.

I know Great or Good or Fun game when I see one, but this game sucks. The graphics are the best thing about this game. The story is kinda OK, but the gameplay OMG!!. It's hard to tell were you need to go, the gun play is so F'n SAD!. Also 90% of the time, when bleeding out...Band-aids/Health kits don't stop the bleeding WTF!!. So even tho I had like 10 Bandaids, 8 med kits, I still kept die'n from bleeding out. That's the main reason why this game SUCK!!.
Best Stalker Game yet July 6, 2010

As is denoted in the subject title, this is the best Stalker game yet. One thing that really irritated me, though, was when you went to search a body and their weapon was there also, you picked that up as well without realizing it, then you would have that extra load on even though you might not have wanted it, then you find it later, I ended up picking the weapon up first then searching the body and if I didn't want the weapon, I would transfer it over to the body at the time of search. Even though the maps were large, I wished there were at least one more and also that you could find Sidorovich's bunker that a great majority of the stalkers would talk about when you asked for the location of any tools.
 OK...but still not as good as it could have been June 8, 2010

Stalker CoP was a much better game than Stalker CS was - but still has nothing on the original Shadow of Chernobyl. The graphics are updated - which was nice, but talk about a short game! There are 3 main areas - which honestly don't take that long to complete. The story is only OK, and the voice acting seems like it's been done by about 5 people - this for all the different people you meet in the game. I experienced very, very few bugs which was a nice change from all previous Stalker games.
However, there's a great mod out there - SMRTER (can be found through filefront - or a simple google search) - which added new life to this game for me and had me replaying and searching everywhere for extra goodies. The difficulty was increased, more mutants and more and varied weapons. There are some problems with the mod (it's still in its Alpha stage), but definitely worth the look if you want to breathe new life into CoP!
I gave 3 stars as it was still a decent game as far as games go - but honestly if modders can make the game a better overall experience than the original publishing & development companies - you know, the ones with the money and resources - there's something wrong.
