One of the Best Games I've played [Posted on 2003-09-10]
I recommend you to buy it! You are going to find out what is this after you played it.

SERIOUSLY [Posted on 2003-10-01]
I guite seriously found this game lacking GUTS.. it's just too squeaky clean computer mindless. Where's the BLOOD PULSE LIVELYNESS DIZZY EXHILITARE, RAZZLE DAZZLE?

One of the best FPS ever [Posted on 2003-11-29]
Buy this game now. All I have to say. Highly recommended.

One heck of a blast... [Posted on 2004-05-23]
Serious Sam, the only man who can save the Earth, makes his first appearance. Serious Sam is a nice change from all the flashy difficult shooters, because there is very little puzzle work involved. Simply pick up your guns and start shooting anything that moves. It's quite simply a new-born DOOM.

Some of the remarks Sam makes are very funny and the enemies come in all different sizes, from small zombies to giant insects!

However, sometimes the game gets difficult and it has you tearing your hear out. So many enemies coming at you and no cover at all means you have to be quick on your toes and quick on the trigger. Plus it gets repetitive as well. Simply going in, killing everything and going out gets boring after a while.

Plus, the enemies all have the same attacks. And they just run blindly at you with no regard for anything else... which doesn't make a challenge.

However, if you can turn a blind eye to these flaws then Serious Sam is a classic shooting game which has everything a trigger happy guy would like.

GOOD BITS
Fast action
Lots of bad guys
Lots of guns
Plenty of funny bits
A nice change

BAD BITS
Repetitive
Sometimes difficult
Poor A.I

The Verdict: 4 out of 5

ALTERNITIVE'S: If you like this then try Duke Nukem.
Enjoy

Fun Fun Fun! [Posted on 2004-09-09]
If you're looking for a complicated, rich storyline, this game is not it.
If you're looking for a first person shooter where monsters come in countless waves and all you gotta do is hold the trigger down, this game is for you.
Serious Sam has been rated by many as a mindless shooter and that's exactly what it is. Great fun.
Multiplayer cooperative matches are simply a blast.
