First off, i didn't finish this game. I played almost until the end, and then enemy got his hand to glitch through the door which made it imposible to open said door. Why didn't i just restart from checkpoint, i hear you ask. Because this game has no checkpoints. It has some autosaves at start of the level, but other than that, nothing. There is a quick save and load option, which you must abuse in order to get anywhere in this game. Story is basically nonexistent. It is told through few really bad custcenes and voiceover is catastrophic. If voiceover isn't that bad for you, then prepare for some levels with siren sound blasting in your ear that i didn't found option for turning off. It was so annoying, that i considered abandoning this game after first 15 minutes. It would have all been even okay, if not for the gameplay which is buggy and messy. Guns have extreme recoil and are no fun to use, which is a cardinal sin in a fps. Movement is awful too. There are some sections where jump and crouch are necessary, which are not possible to do in the game btw. There are also obligatory sewer levels. Yes, multiple, and a torch to move through said sewers. There is also zero sense or guidance to where you should go. I have spent at least quarter of my playing time on finding how to progress to next section. Especially cause every hallway and room is the same. Some levels are identical and reused multiple times. If i never see another same looking russian subway and train it wouldn't be soon enough. Graphics are really bad, if you consider Call of Duty 2 and Splinter Cell, both came out in this year. Overall i wouldn't play this one ever again, and neither should you.

An unfinished boring FPS game with weird game physics and laughable plot, but the number one thing that make this game unbearable to play is the loading time because MY GOD is that FCKN long to wait for it, even pausing the game takes time.

Used to play a kiddo, loved the music, and finally after some 15 years I found the name of the game and could play it properly XD It's kinda eh xD But I had fun

"Метро-2" в оригинале. Геймплей оч плохой, сюжет дурацкий, но он немного эмоционально цепляет, в одном моменте чуть слезу не пустил) Кто знает, что за ужасом был Советский Союз, тот поймёт.
