Really awesome game. Much like STALKER just in a way bigger scale. This is more about exploration than survival in stalker and instead of apocalyptic setting, it's tropical. But the vastness is really enormous and possibilities too... I really don't know why there aren't any mods for it, I would like to play it in nicer graphics.

The graphics are almost the only think which is weak for this thing. Another one are many bugs (like STALKER have). But if you love STALKER, you will surely love this game too (if you love STALKER gameplay, not only the apocalyptic setting)

The best and most realistic WWII experience i've ever seen. Not Call of Duty, not any other game, simply BF2 + this mod. The graphics are awesome, the new effects are awesome, the vehicles and guns are awesome, the sound effects are awesome, the new gameplay features are awesome...

There is just one thing I don't like on this mod. It's not finished and many maps aren't working and just crash the game. It still doesn't let me to give this less than 10 points, because it's just awesome mod and I think that they will finish it sometimes

I have the 2.2 version of this mod and I don't know if it's the same version as this one (2010), that's why i am rating this 9 instead of 8, because it looks like it has better graphics and sound and more stuff than my version has.

So this is surely the best gameplay overhaul mod for STALKER. If you think that the highest difficulty isn't enough for you at all, then you should surely go for this mod. It makes it a way more challenging survival and also more horrorish game. It adds some monsters and features that were removed by the GSC (for an unknown reason, perhaps not enough time) and those are really great. For example a zombie that have no weapons, he only follows you, but he is quite tough. It's really awesome when they spawn in a horde with a controller and trying to fight them off, for ex. at army warehouses, freedom base

It also adds some cool new weapons, I really love the M9 Beretta, the best pistol for me. Lurk mod doesn't have M9. And I think that the Lurk mod could be compared to this, but it seems to me like it's removing all the stalkerishness from the game as it adds M4, M16s, AUG or FAMAS with red dot sight and ACOGs, that's just too... arcade :D

I didn't give it 10/10 because some things I don't like on it, for example a controller spawning in the middle of a Bar instead of making the mutants at the outskirts near the entrance to Scrapyard able to access the Bar, that would really be awesome. But you can fight off hordes of mutants when you are in the autopark or Cordon noob camp and many more places, when blowout occurs ;)

Do you want a better, more challenging gameplay, because you don't want to play vanilla again? Go for this mod. Are you playing STALKER for the first time or do you strictly want the old gameplay with new graphics? Go for Complete. Do you want STALKER to be easier and do you want really lotsa new weapons, even more than in OL? Go for Lurk
