  • Summary: Monsters spawned from another dimension are trying to make The Milky Way their personal trash can. As attempts to defend the solar system fail, the fate of the Earth, and even the universe, rests with one man--Sam "Serious" Stone. Step into Sam's shoes while he hacks, blasts, and annihilates more than 100 creatures at a time as they attack simultaneously from the air, land, and water. With wild power-ups, such as invulnerability, invisibility, damage, and speed, there's nothing you can't handle.… Expand

    You get just enough time to either shake that turd out of your shorts or to start firing - but not both. [Dec 2002, p.133]

    Playing Serious Sam is like one long deathmatch only the grunts youíre up against are far from clever.

    This is one of the best xbox fps'. That's saying a lot since there are many great ones. But think the reason why reviewers aren9;t always kind to it is b/c it's fairly simple stuff. But simple can be incredibly fun. You'll be amazed at all the crazy enemies that can be attacking you all at once. It's not unusual for 20 crazy mosters to be charging you from all different directions at any given time. Overall it feels like a satire fps because it's so over the top.… Expand
