People here have compared Will Rock with the Serious Sam games. All I have to say is Will Rock has got nothin' Serious Sam.
While the spectacular kill fest in SS nail you to you seat, WS has you yawning after an hour of tedious gameplay.
Why. The games are similar in some respects, but SS has that certain je n'ais c'est quis that WS sorely lacks.

This game is the greatest. One day im looking for a new game at [a local store]. The only reason i picked up Will Rock is because it cost [$$$]. But when i paid for it and got home i found it was the FPS i had ever played. I've played Wolfenstein 3d and Half-Life... They have nothing on this game. Its like playing Doom because of the monsters and weapons but its also like The Gladiators of Rome because of the enviroments. I love the bullet-time thing as well, it's like the matrix. Guns, Bullet-Time, Monsters. What are you waiting for? ... and by the way, you can fix the bugs with the patch found at [the will-rock website].
You Wanna Rock!

Short version: Just grab your wallet, hop in your car, drive to the nearest software store (or try Amazon.com by all means), and buy a copy of Will Rock.
Long version: I've been a shooter fan since the days when Wolfenstein 3D was cutting edge, and lately I've been having trouble finding a really good shooter. However, after purchasing a copy of Will Rock and playing it through to the end, I highly recommend it as the most fun PC game I think I've ever played.
Much ado has been made about the similarities between Will Rock and the earlier, Serious Sam. There's no doubt about it: Will Rock is obviously greatly influenced by Serious Sam. You battle hoards of enemies that come after you in one wave after another. Nevertheless, Will Rock is a unique game that expands and innovates on what other shooters have done. It has a different setting (classical Greece) with different enemies and weapons. So you need not worry that you'll be getting a Serious Sam clone with Will Rock.
Will Rock has so much to offer. Unlike any other shooter I can think of, Will Rock combines jumping puzzles with combat, and many of these puzzles can be great fun. The graphics are first-rate from a technical standpoint, and the artwork is superb. I really loved the level design which not only looked very nice but made the gameplay that much better. The sound was really good, too.
Nevertheless, this game isn't perfect. On some of the levels the successive waves of enemies became sometimes overwhelming, annoying, or monotonous. It took me a little while to get used to the gameplay which involves destroying statues that attack you as well as destroying other "inanimate" objects to find something. I thought that at some points the game became too difficult, and make no mistake: Will Rock is not an easy game. You really need to be on your toes to survive.
But any problems with Will Rock are minor and are easily made up for by all the great things it has to offer. It's the most fun I've had with my computer in a long time, and I plan to play Will Rock again and again.

This game is a total copycat of the classic Serious Sam, just with updated 3D visuals and audio with different characters in roman instead of egypt. That's all. Don't buy it, it's a waste of your money: And NOT worth the purchase!!!
Just great fun!

I keep playing it, over and over. If you like FPS's and to just kill and kill, this game does it. It is corny and funny and entertaining, like the old "B" horror flicks. Enjoy!
If i'm not playing painkiller than it's will rock for me!

First thing is i only play will rock as single player as i find Quake3 the ultimate online deathmatch ever made.When i need some fun offline i love the fast pace of will rock.I find the frantic gameplay very similar to painkiller and it really keeps you on your toes.The graphics look great, especially when you consider when it was released, and as i enjoy mapping for Quake3 i find myself admiring the architecture and getting ideas for my maps so this game has been fun for me.There is heaps of frantic action in will rock and the creatures you fight are varied and really swarm you.This game is not easy so many challenges await you.The flaming arrows that reduce your enemies to cinders are quite satisfying and launcher comes with a sniper scope for the long shots.I also like the catapults that launch you to health and over walls..very funny idea.Do yourself a favor...especially if you are a painkiller fragger as you will love will rock!
This One Rocks

Will Rock is a twitch-shooter, and, as of this writing, is 5 years old... that does not matter. It still runs well under XP, and is no less annoying than when it first came out.
Expect nothing for a story.
Expect nothing for substance or plot.
Dismiss the expectation for any cinematics during the game.
Expect a decent, challenging, straight-up shooter.
Bring back the days of "if it sparkles, glows, or enhances - walk over it to pick it up, and if it moves or starts to attack, KILL it !"
May it satisfy your action taste as it has mine. Highly recommended.

This game had a very promising look to it, but alas when played, was pathetic. Every opponent in the game moves 2-3 times faster than your character so it is IMPOSSIBLE to employ any strategy or worse, escape anything. Additionally, most of the rooms with encounters had the monsters continually respawning. My impression was this game was developed by an 15 year old who loves to button mash. Loved the concept of "I wanna Rock" by Twisted Sister playing and the Greek mythos monsters.
