The one accusation that I've really got no answer for? The shooting isn't very good. Though the writing and acting of the characters that Artyom meets in the tunnels isn't necessarily profound, it feels authentic to the world, and often quite funny. When you reach one of the few safe zones, you'll almost wish you could stop the conversations, songs and games going on around you, so you can take them in one at a time.

These tunnels and stations teem with life, almost to distraction. It's a world where the remnants of humanity have been driven underground by a cataclysmic event, but it's a far cry from the isolated feel of a Fallout 3. Like anyone who's ever been in love, at first I found it hard to believe how much was right about Metro 2033. It was a little thing, but such a clear indicator that this was a game Ukranian developer 4A Games had put its heart in to and, in a sense, it gave me permission to put mine in as well. Not only did I need to pull the Right-trigger to look at it, I needed to pull the Left-trigger to ignite a lighter because the dim glow of the Moscow subway tunnels in which much of the game takes place wasn't enough to read by. I hit the Back-button to check my objectives and was surprised to see my character, an everyman named Artyom, pull out a physical clipboard with notes scribbled on it and a built-in compass.

I remember the moment it happened with me and Metro 2033. Optimum specs are obviously going to be high end DX11 hardware, because they are the only cards that can make use of the DX11 features.Do you remember the last time you fell in love with a game? I don't mean 'really liked,' I don't mean 'played a ton,' I mean loved. I dont believe that they really mean it mentioning 8800GT in the same breath as a GT220. I am highly doubtful those minimums are very realistic or these specs are very accurate, because if they are, this is going to be a terribly optimised game. If 360 has a version here running 1280 x 720 then how on earth could it require an 8800GT to match that sort of fidelity? 8800GT is easily twice as fast and more than xenos, and any core 2 duo is going to be a lot faster than 360's CPU. So what are they saying, are they giving those as example of the type of cards or what? I hate it when a developer gives such generalised specifications for video cards as they are wildly different, but THE most important piece of hardware for games! Problem is, GT220 is nothing like as fast as an 8800GT. Personally i think the most oldest minimum should be is three years old. You have to assume these specs especially minimum are overstated.i mean.8800GT is only two years old and if you set everything to minimum and run a low resolution, you honestly telling me the game will only just about run? That is extremely excessive. ProjectVulcan 4282d ago (Edited 4282d ago )
