It's about having fun, and so this game scores high marks. At times, the horde of creatures is extremely difficult to beat, even with the heaviest weapon, so it can get frustrating. Thankfully, different settings, a la Duke Nuke'Em, makes even the unseasoned FPS player look like a pro. If you're looking for a mind game, steer clear of Serious Sam. But if you're looking for a game that won't take an IQ of 235 to figure out, then this is yours.
Mindless action is what it's all about.
With a crisp resolution and a speedy graphics card, Serious Sam's textures, colors, lens-flares, and details are superb. The locales are pretty, despite being limited to just a few, but the sheer landscape makes the game a sight to see. The HUD thingy is nice to look at and read without distracting you from your main tast at hand. Monsters are detailed, right to the gore dripping from their teeth, although more models should have been added. Although the locations are limited, what Serious Sam does have looks terrific.
