Default [Destructoid] Review: Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter
Quote:
Screw Duke Nukem. Sam "Serious" Stone is the real king of first-person-shooter meatheads and if anybody deserved to make a triumphant comeback, it was him. Sure, Sam may not be quite as high profile, and his games may not be quite as refined, but at least Sam's adventures are released on time, and who needs refinement when you've got headless men running toward you with bombs in their hands?

I only ever played a demo of the original and it was strange, but for some reason I never got into it. Playing the HD version, it took a bit for me to get past the obviousness of it being an older game with a new skin, but once past that, I find this game VERY intense! I tried to play it on hard, but often found myself in areas that took forever to beat, one spot I never could... had to restart in normal mode!

Definitely worth my $20 thus far... can't wait to get in on some co-op action!

I'll be honest; in the first few minutes of it I played (around 20), it scared/startled me way too often. Monsters spawn suddenly in front of you, and one time one of the bigger monsters was chasing me, I barely made it back down the elevator thinking, "Okay, now I'll just take a breather and check my ammo."

Wrong! The bugger took the elevator too and proceed to chase me out of the building!

I just did a search to see if anyone was talking about it...

The original is a classic favorite of mine, and took up lots of my time...

Should I go for it???

As a SS fan, I should like it right??
