A few rough edges but this is a thoroughly ridiculous and at times obscenely frantic blaster. [Advance]
-
Overall the graphics of the game are quite impressive and despite the fact that some enemies appear like a blob of pixels, many others are highly detailed and easily viewable.
-
Ultimately, though, Serious Sam Advance comes up short because there just aren't enough levels to play.
-
Climax Studios restricted themselves too much by maintaining this old style though; gorgeous environments fall short of their potential and elements to enhance gameplay were intentionally left out, and yet with more of a negative result than their exclusion from original games back in the day.

Nintendo PowerWeapons and ammunition are abundant, and you'll need them; the enemies come at a quick clip and the touchy aiming controls guarantee that you'll miss a lot of shots. [May 2004, p.122]

Pocket GamesSerious Sam isn't a terrible game, but it's one that's better left to more advanced hardware than the Game Boy Advance. [Summer 2004, p.40]
-
The frame-rate problems, aiming issues and short lifespan of the game, all conspire to ruin what could have been a reasonably fun blaster. Serious Sam Advance is yet another argument that modern first-person shooters have no place on the Game Boy Advance.
