Metro 2033 review ¦ One More Castle

Joe Trotter of One More Castle writes: 'The world of Metro 2033 is a particularly grim one, ripe with destitution, misery and human suffering. Based on the novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033 the game shares with its brethren the post-apocalyptic ruins of underground and overground Moscow as the background for the unsettling events of the narrative. As is obvious from the name, much of the action takes place within the dank and twisted tunnels of the Moscow metro network. One would expect limitations within this setting, but there is a surprising amount of variety as you make your way through (and over) the nightmarish underworld in what is an involving but flawed shooter.'

Definitey one of the most underrated games of 2010.

The mechanics could have used a bit of tweaking, but the same goes for The Darkness, which was also brilliant and underrated.

The PC version rivaled Crysis mods. It was gorgeous! The 360 version was no slouch either though.

I still haven't played this, but it has been on my radar since launch. I will propably pick this up soon from Steam.

newn4gguy4789d ago

If you have other things to play, you can wait until it's discounted on Steam. They have deals constantly.

Deputydon4789d ago

They just ended a $9.99 deal for it. I picked it up back around black friday when it was also $9.99. Such a good game, I would say if you want to play it at the highest settings then be sure you can run Crysis on at least high because the game reeeally uses resources.

Freaking love this game! but agreed the mechanics... they did suck balls

overlorduk4789d ago

@Deputydon The Metro 2033 Steam sale is still on, but anyone wanting it better be quick, it ends tonight.

TheXgamerLive4789d ago

yea, it was a great game, at the bottom it also said it was on ps3, but it is not/ It's Xbox 360 console exclusive and pc. Great game w/some bad weapons at first but gets better the sniper with auto fire was my hella fav.

undercovrr4789d ago

Not an exclusive. Do your research

JTrotter904789d ago

AHA! Sorry guys, it isn't on the PS3, my bad, changed it now. I hope you all enjoyed the review as much as i enjoyed playing through the game.

Metro Video Game Series: A Comprehensive History

The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.

TheBrainZ118d ago

Never got into Exodus, but 2033 was excellent.

kevco33118d ago

Yeah, Exodus just didn't grab me either, sadly.

I absolutely loved 2033 and Last Light, however. Played them both on 360 and then again with the remasters!

anast118d ago

I just started it and it is already miles better than the first 2 which are dated.
