User Rating: 9.2 | Serious Sam: The First Encounter PC
Serious Sam is just simply one of the funnest games you'll ever play. When I first got this game which came with my Mum's new computer she bought back in 2002. I just thought this was an el cheppo old shoot em up game. But how wrong was I. This game you could say is the next Doom. Not because it's a horror game or its ment to give you nightmares and freak the hell out of you. It's because of the overwhealming odds and the feeling you get when you go ohhh....nooo. When there's fifty different creatures screaming and yelling coming at you when there just about to come running up the hill. Serious Sam is just pure class and it's one of the most underrated games on the PC. I still have it in my top five favourite PC games of all time. Because it's so much fun and the odds are so overwhealming.The gameplay is just so much fun that almost anybody who picks up the game and starts playing it would say pretty much the same thing. The Graphics are so smooth and very nice to look at. Everything looks well balanced and the feel that the environment brings to the game is just amazing. The sound is very high quality and surprisingly very well done. The sound effects turned out to be really effective and at times freak you out a bit. (from the yelling and screaming). Seroius Sam also has a multiplayer co-op mode. Which lets you and a friend go on a shooting frenzy through the single player mode which is just a whole lot of fun. Serious Sam overall is a polished game which is quite a nice refreshing change from all the new bloody & gory FPS on the market, and it brings another dimension to the the FPS genre. It's one of the best FPS titles you can get and for a very low price you can own a game which is well and truly an instant classic.
