anyone played S.T.A.L.K.E.R shadow of chernobyl?

got this game the other day and it is awesome. atmosphere's created by the lighting and weather, the free roam and best of all the RPG aspect mixed with the FPS aspect which makes for one awesome game and one happy gamer.
although IMO one thing that lets this game down is the human models are slightly dated, and the model animation shows how old the game realy is. but so far thats the only negative side
what does everyone else tihnk about the game??
