Serious Sam reminds me of Doom. Only flashier and with monsters instead of demons.

Serious Sam TSE is finally here! The first Serious Sam kicked up a storm with beautiful graphics but old school gameplay. And now, Serious Sam 1.5 is here. Graphics: Almost the same as the first game, only a little more polished. You have to look carefully to see the marginal improvements though. It's still beautiful, colorful with hundreds of creatures onscreen. Sound: The voice acting is horrible. Youu can't even hear what Sam is saying because his voice is so hoarse and gravelly. However the other ambient sounds are alright - Not incredibly, but passable. Gameplay: Old School. Just fire without thinking. The hordes of enemies may make it repeitive though. However, 1 part of the game I disliked was that sometimes getting the items required for opening the doors was too easy. It's very unlike the first game, where getting the items usually took you 10 minutes for each one. For TSE, it'll take you about 2 minutes for each one. I was usually left gaping at the ease I got the items. Either the developers decided to let us have a easier time or they got lazy half-way. I would have liked it if the process took longer, although not as long as TFE. Value: Definately at 20 bucks! Conclusion: A must get since its so cheap!
