The Serious Sam for PC and other consoles have great graphics and with familiar type of controls as that of Doom, Quake, etc. This version for GBA has all the opposite qualties as just described. You can tell each pixels apart and it comes at you like a swarm of bees while jerks up and down, making you dizzy. The controls are simply terrible.

This review is from: Serious Sam Next Encounter (Video Game)

this isnt a dissapointment. Its a good game plus it is M rated which this was the first mature rated gba game i bought. The audio is well done. But the two only dissapointment is that its not as bloody as SS for the pc. But, the graphics are bad when u put them in your gba, BUT!!! when u put it in the GBA player, they dont look all that bad. The levels are short and very easy to get through. But, sometimes, u will face a army of huge bulls that ram u and take away a lot of your health. It is challenging when u put in normal difficulty(AKA:Bring it on) i havent played the multiplayer yet. But this is a good game. But if u want classic shooting, dont get this. If u want serious sam to go or a good FPS on your Gba, then buy this, but first, rent this and Wolfenstein 3D for gba which are two M rated games and make a decision your self. Ps: u can rent them at gamefly.com

1.0 out of 5 stars Serious sam, serious piece of..., June 24, 2011

This review is from: Serious Sam Next Encounter (Video Game)

Cons:

* Difficult to control
* Very, very bad graphics
* Aiming is totally flawed
* Unfair enemies (the bull-like creature comes to mind)

Pros:

* Many weapons
* Three different levels of difficulty
* Seems (I haven't finished it yet) of very long lenght.

Still, it is huge dissapointment: after playing in the PC for years, I know that Serious Sam is not a graphics powerhouse or anything like it, but this mess is too insulting to even consider.
