I have been plagued with purchasing games that promise so much and then failed miserably to deliver this year and Metro 2033 is the latest of these.

Graphically it hits the spot, at least on the underground or internal levels the levels in the open are a tad ify, gameplay wise the shooting is pathetic the weapons kick and jump around wildly and even with a sniperscope on some of the best weapons the accuracy leaves alot to be desired.
the gameplay it self is frustrating, you are given vague instructions on what you are to acheve and then no further help and run around blindly(literally in the levels before you aquire the NVGs) trying to work out were your supposed to go (no map) and what you are supposed to do all the while enemies are coming at you from all angles. alot of the time it feels like sheer luck you make it through a level.
on top of that some levels are very short and these tend to be the enjoyable ones.
the storyline at first was intriguing and had potential then it feels like the writers dropped acid or something as suddenly unexplained flashback type scene started to happen which had no bearing on the rest of the story.

i completed it today and im so glad its over it shall be going back to game to help towards the purchase of either alan wake or red dead redemtion

avoid this game its not even worth renting
2/10

When I firt saw the trailers for this, I thought it looked kind of like a Fallout 3 ripoff, but it looked pretty promising despite that. Was tempted to buy, but I doubt I will now lol

Looked pretty awesome to me, reminds me allot of fallout and i love that game

But after this review im going to avoid it

Maybe they rushed it out to get onto the DirectX11 wave? It's been getting mentioned regularly in graphics card reviews for that reason, it seems

ive never even heard of it lol

yeah i thought it looked good to but till i played it.I agree with Kano it sucked..plus it was really short i beat it in 2 hours i was **** worse money i spent this year

Damn i was gonna get it, i had been hoping it was gonna be good. I already had the torrent and set it in queue. Oh well another game then. Thanks ofr the info :)...
