A very entertaining game. It has a great, haunting and depressing plot that will stick with you (it was based on a Russian book) but unfortunately, even with alternate endings, the game seems to kind of "fizzle out". Its pretty immersive, without many of the HUD elements that are so common of most FPS' these days. Some parts are pretty spooky as well, but nothing bad enough to put the less brave souls off. The game is difficult too; 2-3 shots are often more than enough to kill you, and you'll be sneaking around areas infested with enemies. Unfortunately, the game does suffer from a few glaring issues. First, swinging your weapon around to shoot isnt as smooth as it could be. Second, its incredibly frustrating at parts as it is so easy to die and the auto-save compounds the issue by saving or not saving at incredibly inopportune moments. Also, the stealh element can be frustrating and sometimes seems broken. Despite these issues, I highly reccomend Metro; its a great game. 8/10
