6.5 / 10 rating.
The best section is the initial level in the frozen tundra at the start of the game and the final mission level. I originally played through this game and got to the desert map when i lost interest and had to come back to finish after a couple years of sitting in my library.

The middle levels feel too linear while also lacking the atmosphere that metro made its name off of.
The ai feels very rudimentary and brain dead when it comes to combat and stealth in this game.
The movement and speed of the game play feels sluggish and clunky.
The final mission brings back the spooky metro vibe and horror experience to save the game.
Graphically it looks beautiful but not enough to play just for that.

Much of the story is forgettable and full of cut scenes with too much dialogue full of goofy Russian accented voice acting.

So I would recommend buying this on discount.
