I never played at this game before, but after I bought this and installed the game. I was surprise. The game got me hooked on many hours. And I spent very well to kill enemies inspired Egyptian Mythology. Especially I liked shooted with M60 to Egyptian fly. Bosses in this game was very easy to kill and even I played at Pharaoh difficult. I didn't have fun to defeat them. Egyptian atmosphere in game made I wasn't bored during overcoming another maps in game.
I back to this game, after twelve years and I can say. This is one of game where on start is very hard. Especially you don't now where you must go. Control in this game is awful and you must spend some ten minutes. To change all action what you do during game. History for me is not bad, but game is sometimes frustratingly. One of mission I must find some way to destroy tank. Only options is find the mines and put under tank caterpillar. Before I find the mines. I down twenty times in one moment to find mines. Climate game for me is good. Fiction I WW presented good. I like totaly all weapons in games. Implementation guns like years 2002 is very good.
I end this games few times and I spend good time with game. You can end game totally rush or chose to kill anyone (except the mutants). One of game what have short, but very good story. I feel ghost of book Dmirty Glukhovsky especially when our hero Artyom try get to main station to deliver message, like in the book. I like this game for claustrophobia and post-apocalyptic climate. Feel the Russian fantasy. I always feel this, when people talking, sing and telling like was in old world. The stations are dirty, they must travel railcar to another station or they must go with his legs. Totally like guns in metro especially one of type shotgun, where you have six bullets in magazine and you can upgrade every weapon in game.
