This is a serious review.

User Rating: 9 | Serious Sam 3: BFE PC
Serious Sam came back after a hiato of almost 6 years since the launch of Serious Sam second encounter. I quite dont understand because the main magazines and online media gave this game such low scores.

First of all, its a classic. Started almost as a cheap copy of Duke Nukem, but instead of oblivion, it quite took the crown for himself after all this years. Serious Sam became better than Duke. In every aspect. Seriously.

As a fan of the serie ( i have the first, the second encounter and the Serious Sam 2) i can tell that the game was developed very well indeed. We dont have all that craziness we used to have in the previous games, this time the developers tried to fix this creating a story for our hero (actually an anti hero, but hey, he is all we got). But not only that, they came back in time (or future) to explain the events that lead to the first Serious Sam. Well thinking in my opinion.

This is an OLD SCHOOL game with hints of modern playing action games (achievements and zoom for weapons). Incredibly, a great number of young players did not realized that and literally spit in this fun, amazing game. This is kind of sad, so much wealth in gaming was lost these days with cod and "adult" war games. I came from an era when a game to be good had to be fun. Not that i dont like to play cod or such, but the seriousness of the gaming industry is becoming unnerving.

Serious Sam 3 is a refreshing oasis among clay action titans. Just to mention we have top notch graphics, good variety of enemies, good soundtrack, destructible objects, good quantities of weapons (who by the way look very realistic), tons of blood, and hundreds (literally) of enemies. Now is my sadistic side speaking, but trowing a fire rocket to dozens of enemies and saw them blow in a BIG cloud of blood is awesome, lol.

It has a low start, i really was afraid it was not the Sam i used to know, but after a couple levels the action becomes fast and heavy and you better watch your back or you are gone.

The secrets are not easy to find and its quite rewarding to find them. And they can be everywhere, trust me.

The gigantic final boss was there too, thank you very much. Its almost a pleausure defeat a mountain of an enemy.

So i really did not understand the low score Gamespot gave to this great, fun game. The sayings of Sam are fun and the voice is convincing.

The best quote i saw in this game is this: If war is an art i am a f##king Michelangelo. Lol. I almost woke my wife that night with my laughts.

If you want a challenging, fun, graphically amazing game, buy Serious Sam 3 without fear. Its seriously good.
