This is not a modern-day type FPS
This is not a modern-day type FPS. No realistic crap, no Call of Duty or Battlefield-type "take cover or die" realism. This is a BALLS-OUT bad@ss old school FPS. Did you like (the original) Wolfenstein, Doom, Quake, and Duke Nukem 3D? If you answered yes to any of these: Buy ths game. Now. Now to the uninformed, Serious Sam The First Encounter is a FPS bullet hell with swarms of enemies, no cover, but plenty of bombs. Just collect guns and shoot, shoot, shoot!!!! The physics are wonderful and the enemies look hideous and hilarious simultaneously. Plenty of blood and guts, many enemies, and a ton of weapons (I forgot how many, I'm sure the store page says). And don't forget Sam Stone's comments. I think he was Duke Nukem's cousin. Maybe nephew. Maybe both. A+ in my book. I'm a fan of old school bad@ssery, but if you're not, the game may not be for you. Go back to Call of Duty, sheep.

Sheer nostlagia and great game for old school shooter fans
Sheer nostlagia and great game for old school shooter fans. This is where the insanity called Serious Sam began. OK if anyone played the classics, the added bonus here are a couple of added secrets not much. And glorious HD texture. A couple of small things were cut down too. Enough has been written on it online. Lack of survival maps here is a let down. BUT the fun was still same. Fighting Ugh Zhan was still bad ass. The creeping sense of doom waiting in darkness inside temples was still same. The multiplayer death match community was a lot of fun sadly its dead now. I request developers to make Deathmatch section F2P again.
