Anyone looking for proof that Metro 2033 isn't going to be one of those FPS titles where you wander the levels armed with over powered weapons, enemies falling in waves before your relentless one man purge need look no further than the opening minutes...

Metro 2033 is the most draining game I have played this generation. Its vision of post-apocalyptic Moscow is so dark, and so hostile, that it engulfs you like a prison. Its difficulty, so brutal and unforgiving, that hours can be spent on sections that...

Futuristic dystopian first-person shooters may not be anything new, but I’ve got to give credit to THQ and 4A Games for stepping outside the box, and creating one inspired by a Russian science fiction novel. Metro 2033 may seem like a bastard cousin of...

The survival horror genre has started a number of recognizable gameplay traditions. The constant tension, the emphasis on atmosphere, the helplessness of the main character, limited items/ammo -- all of these mechanics are among the reasons why surviva...
The game's atmosphere and unique design choices will make it a worthwhile experience for some, but Metro 2033 suffers from a number of issues (poor implementation of stealth, recurring glitches, etc.) Fans of post-apocalyptic stories should consider g...

Based on the post-apocalyptic sci-fi epic by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 is a gorgeous and ambitious shooter that's occasionally bogged down by its heavy reliance on backstory and lack of narrative continuity.Whenever someone takes a n...
The world is interesting and has some fascinating ideas serving as building blocks; it definitely makes you want to read the novel.
It's a rather lackluster introduction to a universe that obviously has something worthwhile to say. Some obvious design flaws scuttle the gameplay as well.
