Im pretty much itching to make a purchase on Metro for my 360 and was planning to make a launch day purchase until i watched the quick look here on giant bomb.  
The 360 edition appears to have some pretty bad slow down issues and im just looking to get an opinion from people who have now played a chunk on the 360. Is the slowdown as bad as the quick look made it appear or is it just in isolated locations? I only ask as out of the 4 or 5 xbox specific reviews i have read not a single one mentions technical issues. 
 
Thanks in advance!

The 360 version is good. It isn't nearly as bad as people claim it is.

In a sea of shooters, Metro 2033 seems mediocre at best.

Well ive played up to and past the pointof the quick look now and have had little to no slow so all in all am very happy. Turning out to be great so far.

I haven't had any slowdown yet, and I'm more than half-way through the game. There are bugs in the game, but nothing game-breaking or too frustrating, and I believe you'll find those bugs no matter which version of the game you play.

I've not had any slow downs only some glitches.
 
The main one easily fixable is when I pull out the clip board to look at objectives, and put it away, if I do so too quickly it seems to stay there when I have a gun out, so there's both the clipboard and gun on screen, it's rather annoying, it's fixed by retaking it out over and over till it goes though.
 
That's it for glitches, the games actually pretty good, especially some of the odd stealth things, like hiding behind a wall knowing a monster is going to run past putting your light out and hoping to God he carrier on because ammo is scarce.

" @Davvyk: I havent encountered any big problems like slowdowns. So far it runs smooth and I am thoroughly enjoying the game. "

" Does anyone have an idea of about how long this game is?  "

it's a great game.

I've been trying to decide whether to get this on the PC or 360... I'd prefer to control it on the pc, but unless I move it over to where my tv is buying it on 360 would give a better immersion with the tv/surrounds.   I had heard on other reviews that the 360 version was buggy (at least on release) compared to the PC version.. does anyone know if this has changed after all these months ?
 
thx in advance

The 360 version was not as bad as some claimed it was. I completed it 3 times, and never ran into problems. It looked great, and played great, but if you have a PC, which can play it, I would say you should buy it for that. Mostly because the game was intendedfor that platform, and it looks stunning with all settings maxed out. 

The 360 version runs just fine.I had no slowdown at all during my playthrough.

Ic, thx.  The main thing i saw in the GT review was the odd ragdoll physics on corpses and some AI that seemed really bad, but comments below the review said the pc version was ok, the AI may have been due to low difficulty setting etc.    Doesn't help the 360 that the pc version is on sale quite often...might get it used, though.  My basic  pc specs are:
 
Radeon 3870 512mb
4g ram
core 2 quad q6600
 
going to test the pc-tv hook-up this weekend, but I'd rather wait for a vidcard upgrade like the 5870 so i can just hdmi --> receiver, rather than dvi + sound.
