Metro 2033 is an interesting concept- as it's based on a Russian book- did the PlayDevil reviewer take a fancy to it?
Here is a snippet from the review:
"Most people will, by default, assume that Metro 2033 is a FPS game. Sure, the post-apocalyptic setting means many will compare it to Fallout, but I don’t think anyone would class the game as an RPG.
I, however, am not going to class it as a traditional FPS- more a new take on the survival horror genre. In the same way that Resident Evil 4 re-galvanised the genre in 2003, I believe that Metro has done the same again in 2010. If you approach the game as a straight shooter, it just isn’t the best game out there."
A look back at 4A Games' admirably consistent post-apocalyptic shooter franchise.
Metro 2033 mechanics that would adapt perfectly to VR, and the upcoming Metro Awakening by Vertigo Games this year.
The Metro video game series started with a humble b-list title, before building a strong fanbase and becoming a pioneer in the industry.
Just started playing it this week...it really is a great title....not enough hype for this and all the shooting complaints are way off...great atmosphere and graphics...
totally right- much better than some reviews have said- a really well made, atmospheric title
