Serious Sam is first person shooter developed by small Croatian development team Croteam. I've played probably all first person shooting games released up to this day, so honestly I didn't expect much from this another FPS clone. But now I will tell you the truth - this game is bombastic!. If anyone still remembers Doom, take that and multiply its fun factor by 10. Yes exactly you hit - It's permanent nonstop sweet massacre :) It's true that it doesn't take too much skill to kill anyone in Serious Sam, but the adrenaline-pumping action you feel you face down 20 stampeding giant bulls, or, over the horizon come a dozen screaming headless guys holding fused bombs straight out of a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Seriously, there are areas in this game where it feels like there are 100 enemies all attacking at once, I bet you will like it as well as me. Just use the cannon (BFG equivalent) and kill 'em all again and again....Certainly don't expect any kind of Enemy AI, the monsters won't flank you, seek cover or call for help. There's no stealth element, but if you're wanting to sneak about then you're playing the wrong game. The game features both complex indoor and outdoor scenes in one engine, multiple direction gravity, advanced LOD for loads of enemies at the same time, directional light for daylight scenes, portals and mirrors, truly dynamic volumetric fog and haze, both skinned and multi-part models combined, hyper-texturing and hyper-mapping for life-like richly detailed environments, high polygon count multi-resolution meshes, photo-realistic lens flares with real-time lens reflections, advanced particle system, procedural textures (water, fire, smoke, plasma, electricity), photo-realistic reflections, specularity and bumps, up to 4 split screen support and easy-to-use real-time development tools (Serious editor, Serious Modeler, and custom AI language based on C++). The weapons are : a pistol (or two), shotgun (later upgraded to a double-barrel), machine gun (upgraded to a minigun), rocket launcher, grenade launcher, laser gun and cannon. The graphics in this game are impressive, models look incredibly realistic as do the buildings. The music does a very good job of immersing the player into the game. When a monster approaches, the music turns to an adrenaline-pumping mix of techno and rock. I can say this cheap effect makes gameplay very juicy. Serious Sam costs only 20 bucks - it's an excellent price for such cool game. Download playable demo (72MB).
