This game is alright,but alot of things are bad about it. First:graphics! The graphics look like they came right out of a comic book! [BAD]
Second:the nosies! Ohhhh, how they make me think twice about play it again.
And finally: music! The music sucks! That all I hav to say.
Everything else is really cool! LOTS OF GORE! ACTION! AND MULTIPLAYER MODES! But for hard-core shoots like me, this not your game. It's to fast and it feels really short. The bonus levels are acually kinda cool. Any way, this game is only good for rental.

GOOD WORK!

Now, I'm over 13 but I'm just using this under 13 review thing because it is to much trouble to sign in...ext. Anyway, the game is really well done. The action in the game is awesome! So many aliens to kill and shoot up! The framerate is problably the best part of the game. It never slows down! No matter how many enemies are on the screen, it never slows down. Graphics are so-so. Neat multiplayer.It can have over 8 people at once online. And it is incretibly GORY AND BLOODY!! Althought the violence is cartoonish, blood still goes everywhere. There is even CO-OP! Me and friend were playing this game all night and HARD! Him and I had a blast [note to self: finish it next time he comes over]The game's number of levels are around 32. [the extra 8 levels are the so called 'lost levels'] Don't listen to the box cover, there are only 32. It goes by really fast. The only thing that took away that extra star was....THE NUMBER OF WEAPONS!! 12?! I HAVE GAMES THAT HAVE MORE THEN THAT!!! Buy this game, or rent it. mr.jawsbite.

Great Game

Let me say I've beaten all 3 of the Serious Sam Games on PS2 and Xbox. The first one I never seemed to like that much. You know, the first one for the Xbox. It never really held my attention because I sucked at FPS games when I got it so it was one of those take-out-when-you're-bored-keep-buried-in-your-cabinet kinda games. After taking it out like twice every month at the end of the year I beat it and really didn't care for it. I did not even feel like I accomplished something, ya know the feeling you get once you beat a game. When Serious Sam Next Encounter came out it was a different story. In between the time I beat the first one and bought Next Encounter I had become an FPS fanatic. As soon as I saw it I thought:"Great!Another one to add to my cart." I bought it and was amazed once it began playing on my PS2. It had cooler monsters, more guns, better graphics(of course), and more levels(even after I became obsessed with FPS games I still for some funny reason don't like the first Serious Sam for Xbox). The music was cool too(especially for that Chinese temple level). Once I beat it it was back to the store to get enough money for Halo 2. Once Serious Sam 2 came on Xbox I instantly got it as you might have guessed. I just recently beat it(the Cecil level took me a LONG time because he kept blowing up all the rocket devices). Sure the graphics are better than Next Encounter and there's more vehicles and more everything it still didn't give me the satisfying feeling it gave me when I played Next Encounter even though Serious Sam 2 was an awesome game. Sure SSNE may not have all the good graphics, enemies, levels, vehicles, weapons, and to some extent, comedy that SS2 has but SSNE will always have a special place in the heart of an FPS fanatic. I regret ever getting rid of this game.

Worthy title, budget price makes it all the better

If you have twenty bucks and you want to kill an afternoon, look no further than Serious Sam: The Next Encounter. The variety of guns gives you plenty of choices for how you'd like to annihilate the swarms of enemies coming at you from everywhere. I especially like the co-op multiplayer, and also the silly characters you can play as. Most of the enemies die in one or two shots, but the sheer number of them makes the gameplay fast-paced and intense. It's no Halo-killer, but it's definitely a good addition to your game library.

Not a good game, but a tribute to good games 10 years ago

As a certain gaming magazine put it, "This is not a good game, but a tribute to games that were good 10 years ago." Well put.

This game, at best is a weak diversion of your attention until you find something better. There is nothing in this game that actually requires skill. Tons of enemies spawn every time you grab an item, powerup, or weapon, in every room, and when you finish killing the enemies that had spawned seconds ago. The problem is, the enemies are not diverse, not detailed, and stupid. They run at you, and you shoot. Thats it. Thats the whole game. Nothing else, except maybe some simplistic trial and error platforming every few levels. But that doesn't make a game, whether you pay $20 or $5 for it.

Good:
Simplistic, fun to play with another person in co-op just to waste some time, can entertain your younger siblings, and the game doesn't jump out and attack you...

Bad:
Horrible graphics for this day and age, horrible enemy AI, little variaty, bland levels, enemies, and powerups, requires no skill. The multiplayer is also horrible, and single player mode is just as bad: you go from room to room killing endless enemies by holding the trigger and spinging around in a circle, then run into a key (oh so well placed in the middle of the room with a giant arrow above it) and run to the next room to put the key into the sparkling hole. Animation in this game is a joke, so are cutscenes, and voice acting.

There are certainly games worse then this, but not by much. I recommend Red Faction 2 for a much better experiance, or even Halo, both worth whatever you pay for.

WAY COOL!

Serious Sam is so good. The graphics are pretty good.Some of the sound is annoying, but over all it is a good game. And at 20 bucks, now thats a deal!

I like this game

I just read the one review and I dont give this game no justice. My best friend Sam has this game and I play it with him all day. My best friend Sam has reserved Halo 2 50 times so he needed a game to hold him down till he gets it so one day we loaded up in his moms station wagon and went to toy's r us. When we got there I nearly wet my pants when we got to the R zone I was overloaded with Joy so Sam bought the game and I havent stoped playing it since. So I got to go now so peace out dogs.

Well it's no looker, but when you look at the huge levels, you can see where all the texture memory went, for a FPS on a console this game is huge.

I was pratically worn out playing it. It can get a bit repetative if you go for a 2 hour stint, especially if you replay on hard to get the medals and bonus features, and there's lots of bonuses to go for.

If you want some old skool doom style bloodbath without to much thinking, Sam may just be for you :)

Don't know what kreeps are talking about here.

This game is an instant classic. I'll bet no one on here never play it. Sam is amazing. I'll bet I'm the only one here who found the hidden sword. The guns are fun, but on top the huge building in the Metro level you find a sword (behind the crate nearest the edge). Hack and slash all night baby. This opens up the game to the next level. Forget everything else, you'll be addicted to this. Online mode is pretty good. I like the music on the dashboard. Thumbs up, way up. Don't lie.
