To those that don't know, Metro 2033 is a Post-Apocalyptic FPS set in Russia which is possibly due out sometime in 2010. It'll be released on Microsoft Windows and Xbox 360 i'm not sure about a PS3 version.
You play as Artyom, who is a young man born just before the apocalypse but has spent the majority of his life underground. His memories of the world above ground are fragmented, and his parents are absent. Thus, he was left an orphan who has been raised by other survivors. His one dream is to see the outside world, but he's still young and has never left the confines of his local Metro stop, Exhibition. Artyom is entrusted to warn other colonies of a breed of mutated beasts called the Dark Ones that look to threaten this underground world. The physical structure of the Metro system is inspired. Each of the major subway stations has become its own little town, with the city of Polis at its center. Each settlement also has its own social and political infrastructure--Exhibition is a peaceful democracy, but you'll come across fascist dictatorships as you travel further afield. You'll also get to see what it's like above ground--albeit only at night--thanks to the collapsed ozone layer.
The game opens with a glimpse into the future as you and another man approach the final destination in the game. You're climbing up toward ground level when you're attacked by a couple of mutants. They're not difficult to kill, so you dispatch them and equip a gas mask to head outside to meet your allies. Vehicles approach, but you're ambushed again. This time, it's a stampede of mutants, so you have to take cover and shoot them down one by one. The horde knocks allies to the ground and overturns vehicles, and the sheer number of enemies makes your survival unsure. With your future uncertain, the game then sends you back eight days in the past to the beginning of the story as you explore Exhibition for the first time.

It also seems to pay quite abit of attention to detail as well, considering floors and ladders can collapse as you climb/walk on them, making you go back and jump over gaps or depend on your team-mate to catch you. The lighting also reflects the shadows of enemies so you can see them before they attack, your map is also a physical item, you pull it out and flicker a lighter over it so you can see - your gas mask also distorts your vision and dampens sound.
All of that was taken from Gamespot, guess its reliable I guess we can wait for another video clip to be released at some point but so far it looks like an interesting game. Any thoughts?
