5.0 out of 5 stars Never fails to be an excellent first person shooter!, November 17, 2003

This is the shooter that really made a game good..LOTS of excellent 3D action and shooting. This is what the game is supposed to be about anyway. First person games are my favorite and I do not care much for a story but Serious Sam still has a general story and good graphics and sound! Although there are new shooters coming out that have newer graphics systems, this one made what those games are now, whether anyone wants to admit it or not! I never found one bug in these games and I have played them on several computers. I love the Godgames series and always have. I look forward to more from them!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Game, really., October 6, 2003

If you like a first person shooter with plenty of shooting, and plenty of wry humor, this is your game. Not quite perfect, but close. With visuals that are at times stunning, and fast paced varied action, this game is both fun and beautiful. And I can't forget the humor. Everything from the plot to the enemies to the sound bites of Sam to the personality of the computer contains well placed humor that works quite nicely. You can tell that the folks who made this gem had fun with it, and they have created a truly fun game. This is a game you just can't miss, and at twelve bucks (as of 10/6/03) you have got to pick it up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Focused game design, July 4, 2006

This review is from: Serious Sam Gold (CD-ROM)

There's no pretense of a complex story, no neo-intellectual riddles or puzzles to solve. The developers quite simply knew what they wanted and executed it perfectly: a silly, stylish, fast, beautiful 3-D shooter. Serious Sam and the Second Encounter both ran flawlessly on my mediocre machine at 1024 resolution. I don't want to overstate this but I was astounded at the sheer number of individual characters moving (rapidly) on screen at once with no slowdown or clipping sounds. Possibly, to really appreciate this you need to have played some poorly coded resource-gobbling dogs that eat frames and chop sound effects with just slight onscreen detail. Even if you haven't, it will be apparent what a clean-coded masterpiece Serious Sam is. Bravo, CroTeam!

I can't quite give it 5 stars, as each of the two games becomes a bit repetitive after the 2/3 point. But, the Gold package is an undeniable steal considering the sheer quantity of alien-splatting fun of SS and SS:SE.
