I remember Serious Sam. Do you? Yes, that one. Out of all the FPS games in the world, this is one of the few I think of when I hear "FPS", along with Half-Life, Doom, Quake, Halo, Call of Duty, and Medal of Honor. Was it as great as those games? Well, not really. Was it still, at least, a great game? Of course. Sadly, Serious Sam is showing his age with this release. An attempt to bring him into HD. It works....... mostly. If you didn't like Serious Sam before, this won't change your mind. If you DID like Serious Sam before, then this game is right up your alley. If you had never heard of Serious Sam before, you'll still find this to be a very fun little game. If you've got spare cash, try downloading this one. Here's the chart:
THE GOOD: -Still keeps it's great gameplay -Still keeps it's interesting style -Still addicting and fun -Will please Serious Sam fans and newcomers alike -Low price
THE BAD: -Graphics aren't so good -If you don't play it in HD, it's almost pointless -If you didn't like Serious Sam before, this won't change your mind -Not much new stuff added
Overall, this is a game that's worth your spare cash.
