Serious Sam: The First Encounter
Serious Sam returns to the roots of first-person shooters,
serving up big guns, hordes of enemies, and plenty of attitude. The
entire game is steeped in an ancient Egyptian theme, with locations
that range from claustrophobic temple passages to wide-open arenas, and
with surprises lurking around every corner.
The monsters are uninspired, but Serious Sam substitutes quantity for quality. Enemies do little more than blindly rush at you, but when dozens are converging on your position at the same time things get hectic in a hurry. Fortunately there are plenty of health, armor, and ammunition packs to pick up along the way, so expect a sore trigger finger after fighting all the way through to the game's epic end battle.
The only real faults with this all-out action fest are that it ends all too soon, and the Egyptian theme--though beautifully wrought--gets old. Still, Serious Sam's bang-for-the-buck ratio is high enough to make most complaints moot, and players will be too busy trying to survive to get bored with the scenery. --T. Byrl Baker
