Metro 2033 is a CORE PC Shooter which looks insane on PC.  Lots of the reviewers reviewed it on console and have it a low score because they don't understand what a good game with good graphics is.  >.>  I'll tell you right now this game is very good.  The story the graphics are top class and not to be messed with.  This game will stress even the most high end systems with full support of DX11 and incredible particles and light effects.  I don't know why this was never seen as the new Crysis bench mark.  The difference between this and Crysis is this is optimized for new tech and looks incredible.  The high end settings Taxed my GTX570 down to 20 - 30 FPS while on low settings gave me 70 - 90 FPS while still looking 8x times as good as the average console port we get every day.  So load it up and see if your system can handle it.

Alright so now that I have talked about the graphics of the game which steal the show, but are not all the game has to offer.  I will cover some of the PC gamer features.  This game does not have the best features for a PC gamer.  Even though it does have very good graphics just for PC. It does lack the ability to tweak these settings ingame.  You can only chose from Low, Med, and High.  It does show the settings that are being changed in great detail, but does not allow you to tweak the settings yourself.  It is kind of weird.  You also can not change your FOV ingame, but this can be done by editing cfg files.  Even editing the config files is kind of a headache because you have to edit the same config file in three different places to get the settings to stick.  Three different places which are basically hidden on your PC.  I will have a tutorial on how to do this in the subsection of this game on my website.  There is one more thing I would like to talk about.  The AI are stupid.  Really stupid.  You can forget about Stealth because the AI can see you at 20 feet in pitch black.  It is best to just go in shooting DOOM style.  Using all your guns to mow down all your enemies.

I recorded some videos for you and took some screenshots.  Go take a look.
