I remember that day, when I entered the Blockbuster video store...I looked at maybe 20 previously played XBOX titles that they were selling off.
I came across this game I had never heard of called
Serious Sam. The pictures on the back of the box seemed cool enough, the storyline seemed as interesting as could get for a first-person shooter, and the box front had this cartoony dude...cool, but yet I was leary...
Little did I know when I purchased the game for $9.99, that I was in for one of the best FPS games of my life!
Graphics were awesome, sound appropriate to each scene, and awesome onslaughts of enemies beyond one' s imagination! There must have been almost 200 onscreen enemies at one time in this particular scene!
The enemies ranged from large frog-sized creatures to towering monsters of at least 100 feet!
Your adrenaline pumps so hard that you sweat buckets wondering if you' ll have enough ammo to make it through to the next area.
This game has a co-op mode and a multi-player deathmatch mode.
As for options, you can adjust everything from the color of the enemies blood to the split-screen orientation (horizontal or vertical). The level difficulties are significant, with the highest difficulty being insanely difficult (but not impossible).
This game currently sells for about $5-7, and is well worth any gamer' s money.
Serious Sam 2 is expected out somewhere between late 2004 to early 2005 and is expected to cost $20. I' m getting this one too!
Anybody else have a story about
Serious Sam (or any other game for that matter) that they would like to share?
