Metro 2033 in 2010

Judging by the trailers, the game reeks of STALKER. Mutants look quite similar.

I bought STALKER but have yet to play it. Some of the comments on this page might just get me to change that.

I always liked the concept of STALKER, so this appeals to me.

huh; so its like soviet fallout..?

Is a 4 year development time par for the course these days?

2-4 years is the standard for a game yes. Some companies can pull off bigger games in under 2 years, but they are huge and often times the games they make are not quite so robust.

which has sold "hundreds of thousands of copies in Russia"

That's like saying "I've killed millions of civilians, in Modern Warefare 2."

This game fits just below Mass Effect 2 for games that I plan on getting next year, so now I have 2 titles to look forward to.

Dunno, doesn't look very... Original. I remember watching a trailer on the Xbox dashboard, I think.
