Oppressive dystopia-person shooter with some substantive weaknesses

"Metro 2033" is a very successful and quite demanding novel by Russian author Dmitry Glukhovsky, of a Moscow describes the year 2033, which was completely destroyed by an unspecified characteristic atomic mass conflict and declared since the surface uninhabitable. The survivors of this "day of judgment" must perforce escape into the underground Moscow Metro and build there new "mini-states" with very different political ideologies, some are based on real models (such as communists or neo-Nazis), in turn others are completely fictitious (eg trunk of the Great worm). The many stations that are mentioned in the novel, actually exist and are also shown in the fold-out pages of the novel.

Glukhovsky engages in his dystopian (the word dystopia = negative future) Roman also on the many urban legends around the Metro, so the Soviets are said to have built secret bunkers there, even from a so-called "Metro 2" is mentioned, their existence but could not be confirmed until today.

-positive FEATURES "Metro 2033" -

Rarely have I played a game that almost 1: 1 to its novel hält.So to play the young Russians Artem, an orphan, who still lived in his early years on the surface, but hat.Aufgewachsen lost by the war his mother in the dark and in many places also destroyed Metro to Artyom embarks on an adventurous journey through the vast network of the Metro to find a soldier named Miller in the largest inhabited by people Station "Polis". Along the way, the player has to his skin against other hostile groups (as described above), as also claim against supernatural enemies like mutants and monsters. The situation of the survivors in the stations shows a disturbing, almost ruthless image and clearly demonstrates what would have happened if the Cold War would have been more hot.

-DÜSTERE Atmosphere-

The tunnel of the Metro are hardly or poorly lit, giving a ghostly and eerie atmosphere also zaubert.An every corner can thus wait the horror. However, the irradiated surface, which can be entered only with a gas mask and sufficient equipment, shows an oppressive landscape that was once the capital of the largest country in the world wait ruins of skyscrapers, destroyed roads and piles of corpses speak as for themselves.

-Gameplay-

Due to the gloomy atmosphere one is on his flashlight, which you have to charge for a time thanks to a handy generator and instructed his lighter. To defend you several weapons are available, besides, many of which have real role models, including the Russians favorite MG AK-47.Im over time gives access to improvements in each guided weapons (maximum 3 in number), but the money . Costs The "money" of the Metro are cartridges that are everywhere present, but stocks may be exhausted very quickly, and consumable items such as filters and Medi-packs cost cartridges, so please save your ammunition / currency!

-100% UNCUT-

The German language version is completely uncut, the focus of the game is this emphasis placed on the Survival, on inhuman scenes such as torture, killings or exaggerated depictions of violence will be omitted. The USK ab 18 is therefore perfectly fine.

-SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS-

I got myself the game last year for my laptop, I know, it has already been published in 2010, but due to the system requirements I wanted my stone age computer no longer zumuten.Hier are the minimum requirements for the game:

Dual-core CPU with 2.4 GHz
1 GB RAM
DirectX 9 compatible graphics card with Shader Model 3.0
12 GB hard disk space

On my Lappy the game running despite Win 8 smoothly and without further difficulties.

-HAMMERPREIS-

For 10 you can truly nothing wrong machen.Man gets a lot of action, horror and the absolute thrill geboten.Deshalb belonged "Metro 2033" one of my favorite shooters in the past year, partly because I'm a fan of the long defunct publisher THQ that the "Warhammer 40K" universe some of the best real-time strategy games has ever released.

-negative FEATURES "Metro 2033" -

-SPIELDAUER-

The playing time is a true Zumutung.Nach gerademal 6-7 hours (breaks included in the calculation) you get the game through. It may be just right for some while now, but would like to know even more storylines within the Metro, as played other characters like Miller.

-STEAM-

Once again is one of the Steam Hauptärgernisse for gamers who can in case of a crash of the Internet is difficult to rely on their score and start again müssen.Ich such a problem had not, but two colleagues is this mystery passiert.Sie ​​can imagine how the guys were pissed!

-GRAFIK-

In many places me the graph is no longer appropriate and all surfaces overlap, this problem is solved but werden.Man in appearing for summer 2014 revision will be interesting.

-TWO ENDEN-

You can bring two different ends, the sind.Geht but somehow impact-not to achieve a lasting effect on the game you have a "good" way, ie by beggars emits some of its precious ammunition, playing instruments or the ominous "Black" ( This is not a racist word, the new type of "man" is so in the game!) rescues. But it denies the "bad" path, so you can wipe out the "Black", refuse assistance or Rambo kill people. And this is where the disagreements begin at, because even though you desperately trying to be a good saver, you have to forcibly pull into the fight and fend off his skin, other possibilities arise nicht.Diese to achieve two ends designed more than difficult ,

CONCLUSION: "Metro 2033" is an extremely oppressive and genius in his style first-person shooter, the suspect us of the consequences of nuclear war and the associated destruction of human civilization lässt.Neben a great history and a gloomy environment, which particularly the conspiracy theorists and "Urban Myth" -Jäger of you writes the enthusiasm in the face before shouting, ensure the constant fear of looming threats to Horror.Jedoch ensure the short playing time, a no longer contemporary graphics and I think two unattainable ends on a rather mediocre gameplay. I would give this game a rating of 3.5 stars, because this is not yet possible, it must be necessarily 3 stars.
