Metro 2033, your thoughts?

I'll be needing more to go on before I buy it, but I'm intrigued at the least.

I'm a little perturbed by the lack of a review in this months OXM: UK. Considering that it's a (semi) 360 exclusive I was expecting it to have been lovingly given the standard 8/10 and sent on its way.

Now I'm getting a whiff of the Haze-affair, where it turned out to be so underwhelming compared to the hype that the publishers refused to release review copies until after release (a cheap attempt to grab 3 weeks of sales before anyone could find out how poor it was).

What do people think? Obviously it could be simply that review copies weren't sent out in time to meet deadline, a simple accident of fate. The developers are a relatively inexperienced team, but what experience they have is from working on a game with a similar style. There is an awful lot that can go wrong so although I'm really excited by what I'm seeing in the trailers I'm now slightly apprehensive of actually getting my hands on it.

I'm really interested in it but I've learned not to get hyped by games otherwise you'll get disappointed by your high hopes. I'm looking at you Farcry 2

I am also counting down the days. From what I read and hear of it, it seems to be exactly my kind of game. I just hope against hope itself that it will turn out to be brilliant, or, if not brilliant, as good as STALKER: SOC was when it was first released, and then can be modded to brilliance.

EDIT: Actually, is it just me, or does its setting loosely remind anyone of the start of Twelve Monkeys?

I had been thinking the Twelve Monkeys thing as well...

OT: My friend and I are counting down the days to it's release! It shall be awesome.

I'm gonna give it a shot. My favorite post-apocalypse is one that is miserable.

looks good. I never got round to playing the stalker games but they were REALLY buggy from what I hear. so while I have hopes for 2033, I also reckon it will probably be unbuyably buggy like stalker and I'll probably avoid it again.

looks like a pretty good game, i think the environment may get a little boring though..

The game is one giant question mark for me.

I don't know what to make of it, whether it'll be good or bad...we'll just have to see.

If anything, as good as it turns out, it'll still be underrated.
