Think God of War. WITH GUNS!
At the first level this seems like your average FPS with the same amount of enemies. But the action heats up quickly and by level 3 you’re fighting off monstrous hordes of suicidal toads and undead skeletons. The shooting is accurate and there is no lag whatsoever even when there is over 30 bad guys on the screen. It manages to do this with very detailed graphics in the background and huge amounts of blood spurting from your enemies. And the graphics aren’t wasted on nothing. You can see whole pyramids in the distance, giant spaceships and even detailed Egyptian Hieroglyphs on the walls. This game has all the makings of a great shooter but what sets it apart from others is the atmosphere and setting. You get goose bumps nearly all the time as any sound you hear could be monster waiting round the corner to ambush you. The music is great. It has catchy tune that is better than most of today’s bands produce and helps keep the pace of the game going. The game has 14 lengthy levels but should not take more than 2 days. There is not much of a storyline at the start but that’s the beauty of it. It has you (Serious Sam) sent back in time to ancient Egypt to make contact with the Sirians. An alien and technologically advanced race that for some reason never came back to Earth. Your job is to unravel the mystery. Multiplayer is there and is ok but the thing that will bring you back again and again is the addictive and fun fighting. It is really that good.
To sum it up this a game that any hardcore FPS needs to play. It provides fighting on a giant scale and will give you a great laugh as well. This is a game no PC owner should be without.
