Serious Sam

Serious Sam

Review By: Leonard

Pros

Pros? What Pros? Serious Sam has a first player mission mode and a deathmatch feature. It does have over 20 weapons to choose from which is one of the only 2 good things about it. The other good thing is that its currently being sold at $19.99. It just came out 3 weeks ago and was priced at $49.99.

Cons

this game is basically Duke Nukem just with a new character. He even says dumb lines like the Duke. The Graphics are horrible but in the 10 minutes I could stand playing it I didn't find any glitches. The Monsters look like there is a Giant cardboard cutout coming at you. Dont rent or buy this game.


Overall

3.5/10

THE GOOD:
Intense, anus-clenching action; huge variety of weapons; smooth and fast framerate during insane firefights; never gets boring despite repetitive nature; outstanding control - better than mouse and keyboard

THE BAD:
Boring level design; dull graphics in outdoor levels; graphics of enemies have a dated, smeared look, like in Half-Life

SUMMARY:
I would only recommend this game to hardcore FPS fans, or people who just like blowing things up. The intensity is compeletly over the top, and it's amazing how there is no slowdown at all during the action, even when there are like 40 enemies charging right at you! It's a testament to the muscle the XBOX processor has. I couldn't imagine this game running on the PS2 or GC. Complete bloody mayhem and carnage here. You will often have to face hundreds of enemies attacking you in a period of seconds. I find this game much, much more challenging than Halo because...
