Serious Sam: The First Encounter

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.

Serious Sam F. E. - 15 Levels

I finally found the full 15 level game at Retrosoft - $9 + shipping. Hate to take away from anyone else, but the 7 level demo just doesn't get it - makes you want more!

Fun Fun Fun!

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.

One heck of a blast...

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

One of the best FPS ever

I like a challenge so I started off playing on the hard difficulty setting. The first level was fun and went by quickly. Soon however, the maps were innundated with enemies and the game became nothing more than a series of marathon strafing matches. The enemies do exactly the same thing every time, so once you learn their weakness they're very easy to beat. The redeeming factor is the overall humor of the game.
