Something short but

I can agree with the previous speaker in the sense that it is something fall short, however, I would not deduct 1 star therefore. Sure, I have experienced a lot of games that have entertained me longer, but often not on such a grand scale, like Metro 2033. This increases the known strong replayability.

The already highly acclaimed atmosphere I have ever experienced in this form. Even my previous reference in this sector "Bioshock I" has been surpassed in some points.

The various metro stations or the location of the army base D-6 are Outrageous staged. In the metro stations, the largest gathering of people have formed and to come to terms with the situation. Part even better than in Fallout, I find the whole shown much dirtier and very real. In confined spaces (not for the claustrophobic) live here people / Familen together. They can eavesdrop on conversations and simply admire the keen driving. Pigs are bred as well as other work done. They tell stories around the campfire and listen to the way the sound of a guitar player from the next room.

All this would be nothing special if it is not credible transported from the graph and the soundscape .... my god .... here is the well done. The attention to detail and realistic presentation is simply enormous.

In the M-stations has virtually stolen my breath with excitement and in the M-shafts where one usually encounters enemies, especially the sound of nightmares makes. The screech of mutated beasts dying enemy soldiers, shards and gravel on the one steps and sounds that are now occurring once in such an environment very intense.

The gameplay is divided into the realistic overall picture. The weapons forgiven by the recoil and riflescopes are not Lupenrein. In general, the arsenal, in terms of firepower and tech equipment, rather Sperlich. One never has the impression of superiority. For me, these are factors in this game. Other equipment like the gas mask, flashlight and forbearance device are in use
also very authentic. Gas mask and forbearance device must provisioned'll make them work, zusätlich the gas mask can be destroyed by attacks and both restrict the view a bit. The ingenious flashlight (your best friend) to load by hand operation means with guided equipment, otherwise they will only very weakly lights up.

The game also provides continuously for variety. Time you ballert on attacking beasts, alone or in squad, on the other hand are facing an even feuding soldiers and one uses stable pneumatic MGS and flamethrowers. The soldiers are difficult to combat. It lends itself to calm and conscientiously go where you stay in the shade and Lichquellen clears. With silencer or throwing knives you can then turn off some enemies, and it is difficult to remain undetected and especially once discovered, only to disappear again. This is happening again is very real. A suggestion - you should the Lichkegeln of flashlights seeking soldiers deal in order to thus disappear in the shade can.
For opponents of quiet hypocrisy That said, you can also head through the wall and go shoot like crazy. I think that then but the ammunition can be scarce.

Especially the situation where you fight with allies against the beasts are class succeeded. For example, one encounters a troop of Confederate soldiers and help in the defense of the site. Again and again came hordes of monsters who wanted to be addressed. After about 40 of these beasts (it looked like a battlefield) I realized that I have to set an explosion where the critters came in. So lamp, slipped into the shadows and going. Some monster saw me others ran over and attacked weiterhind the squad to - class feeling.

The story, I do not know the book is implemented perfectly adequate for micht. Although I in this kind of games not so much emphasis put on it. I've had enough to know that my protagonist has made a promise that he would comply with his trip, which of course is not all (friends surreal stories will come at your expense). Main thing is that the trip was designed "Artjoms" interesting, exciting, and varied.

I hope I could convey to you my personal impression. One finds hardly any negative points in my review because I think that what is the game and wants to be an outstanding success is (Ex. Halt linear and not open-world, not for casual gamers). Apart from the short season and you can not explore the largest establishment "POLIS" are downer. Although I generally find it difficult to compare games me the title has better entertained than Bioshock II because it was new and fresh staged. As an exclusive title, it also strengthens again the Xbox back. Said a lot of very good games, I find it a total shame each only be developed for a console.

At the end of a compliment to the USK. More and more games from 18 years to come Uncut on the German market and are the "adults" not withheld in full glory. It should not be the problem of the state to control who is a FSK 18 game bekommet into the hands (where will it stop). For parents and sellers because they have to pay attention to the proof of age !!

PS: My Schwierigkeistgrad - Normal. I'll still try to hard due to the replayability value.
