Fallout was pretty borint (fallout 3) and i see this is some post apocalypse stuff,is it any like it?

Not at all, Metro doesn't have anything rol related. You can buy weapons, modify them slightly and eventually you will be able to buy an armor set or an stealth set. That's all the personalization you will get. Also, it's linear.

Play it, it's really good, and this comes from someone who doesn't like Fallout 3 either.

Having played the game and read the book i've gotten into the habit of saying that Metro is Fallout made russian style, or my extension slavic style. There aren't many rpg elements or cinematic action, but where the game shines is the world. From the nps to factions it's all done with a lot of soul.
The prime postapocalyptic games are Fallout for the large explorable world. Stalker for the atmosphere and blend of action and Metro for the story and its emotiveness.

More like stalker with better grapics and storyline... but it does have Russians...

Stalker was all about exploration and had a quite big open world to match. Metro is more about the atmosphere which is why it's more compact nature isn't a problem.
In metro you have a variety of characters and even random npcs may have something to say. In stalker on the other hand you had only a handful of meaningful characters. Which again wasn't a huge problem as the bulk of the fun came from roaming the surroundings rather than interactions with other stalkers.

No... Just... No. The Fallout franchise is the best. Not only does it grant you action, but it also is an amazing story. Fallout is a must to have in your library.

Well i'm not saying that fallout is in any way a bad game. Both the first and the second two (counting new vegas as one) are very enjoyable.
They can't be compared really in any other terms than personal preferrence because they (follout and metro) are just too different.
Fallout excells at world exploration. There is a lot to see do and find in the game and it is of course a bethesda game and as such a platfrom for further player created combat.
However it suffers from a lack of atmosphere. Apart from the radio playing on the wide open desert there is no suspence, human drama or emotional depth.
Metro on the other hand (even more so the second part) is heavy on all of the above. That is why I'd regard metro as the superior postapocaliptic game. It has a setting which is much more emphatic than just a load of empty buildings and backs this setting up with a stronger plot and significant npcs who have stories or their own (albeit scripted) rather than being just one more bandit or ncr ranger.
But again i recommend the approach of stating your argument as a personal opinion, rather than saying no, you are wrong i am right. Also you can't compare the game to the whole metro franchise as if that franchise was a single entity. There are lunchboxes which are part of the fallout franchise.

Has a fallout feel but more of a oneway storyline instead of being a sandbox like fallout.

[Schnapps]

no, its unique game))

[Selous]

It's an original game, but it was based off the Novels of the same name.
It's not a fallout/cod clone, it's an AMAZING shooter that's enjoyable from start to finish

I'd go along with most others, it isn't like Fallout, it does remind me a little of Rage though
