I bought this game after going through the reviews , I am not a hardcore gamer but I like playing games every now and then .I will say that I was not dissappointed on buying this game (Bought it from Amazon)
Very good graphics (If you have a high end system and a powerful Graphics Card).I found running this game was no problems on my system (P-III 1000 MHZ , 256 MB Crucial Memory , Visiontek GeForce 2 ULTRA with 64 MB).I ran it at 1280/1024 32 bit color ,and it was very cool.
Although the game is nothing but killing and killing whoever comes in front of you , but you will still enjoy it .It is a must buy for every gamer .The price is also affordable as compared to other games.
Only dissappointment is not many levels , hope the developers come with new levels.
Excellent!

Serious Sam is an awesome game, and nearly an unbeatable bargain.
The gameplay focuses primarily on fighting lots of monsters at once, usually in large, open arena style areas. But don't worry about it getting repetitive, as there are a few bosses and many smaller indoor and outdoor areas to keep things varied and interesting.
The graphics are very nice overall. The levels use the available technology very well, with the desert areas being a highlight with truely vast planes and believable sand dunes and hills, and the city areas and courtyards with towering structures and buildings.
The game is also a must have for anyone on a LAN, as the game not only has the obligatory deathmatch but it has the return of cooperative play. Going through the game with your buddies taking on literally hundreds of monsters at a time is a blast!
Overall this is an incredible game, and a must have for any Doom fan or anyone else who likes intense nonstop action. I wholeheartidly recommend this game. Buy it!
Serious Sam is seriously funny (a-hem)

At a time when most first-person shooters turn towards greater realism in the gameplay, Serious Sam does pretty much the exact opposite thing, giving the player fast-paced action as you take on the Duke-Nukem-like character of Serious Sam and launch yourself against hordes (and hordes and hordes) of monsters. The graphics are lush. The settings are unique. The gameplay is nothing but fun.
Great game, for the price.

This is a really good game, especially for 20$. I mean, who doesn't enjoy a bit of mindless killing? The game does have some flaws, as you might expect from a 20$ game, but overall it's a worth while experience.
It's Fun!

This game has a sucky plot. So what? It's fun.
This game doestn't have the best AI. So what? It's Fun.
It's funner than Deus Ex.
It's Funner Than any of the Quake games.
This is really for twitch gamers, so If you're looking for some roleplaying stuff or something with a great story, or strategic action, go elsewhere.
This concludes my 2-minute review of Serious Sam.
Best FPS next to Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

Well I am a HUGE fan of the FPS genre and Elite Force is my favorite game of all time. This comes really close, the only thing i doesn't have that elite force does is story line, the story in thsi games ..., but i never pay much attention to that anyways, great game play. Some say it gets boring fast, well i stayed up all night last night playing it, and I love it! it is by far one of the greatest games i have ever played, and to anyone who plays FPS, buy this game!

I bought this new for my boyfriend. He couldn't wait until it arrived. He was very disappointed to find out that it only had 7 out of 14 levels. I guess you get what you paid for. It was really inexpensive and I believe it said it was only 7 levels. I didn't think anything about it because I'm not familiar with the game. Oh well he still played it.
