    This game impressed me. Sure, I've played tons of fast paced shooters like Unreal Tournament, Doom, and Quake, but this game took it up to 11, back before it was cool to make games like that. I found this neat gem for cheap in the electronics section of a department store (I think K-Mart) and I was not expecting a game to throw so many enemies at me, though still make me feel I could handle it. I was always scared of the harder difficulties in Goldeneye 007 when I was younger because of the increased enemy account because I couldn't deal with it. Serious Sam enemies are relatively easy to kill and fairly easy to dodge and you had to manage your movement in the levels confines to be successful. I've always loved games, but I think this is one of the first times I was so delighted that I smiled and laughed as the game kept throwing suicide bombers that were screeaming AAAAAAH! at the top of their lungs.

    Serious Sam is often compared to Doom and described as a throwback to early FPS games in that it does very little but throw wave after wave of enemies at you. True...but it's also better than any other game from that era. Better than Hexen, Heretic, Blood, Duke Nukem, Quake and, yes, Doom.

    A much needed return to the roots of FPS games. Could have used some more variety in the setting (a problem fixed in 2nd Encounter), but it's pure, action focused fun.

    The game is without a doubt great, not better than DOOM obviously but better than most FPSs of the era, it's very fun and action packed you have enemies from all sizes and shapes coming from all sides, it's just insane and nothing feels better than grabbing that boom-stick and shooting those poor headless kamikazes, ohh and the final boss, the final boss is great.
