Serious Sam: The First Encounter
Description
In the near future, during their first interstellar travels, humans encounter a great evil that has been roaming the galaxy for the last few eons. This evil being is an incarnation of the last ancient immortals called Notorious Mental. Mental has set forth to wipe out the Human Race, just for fun, as it has with all the other civilizations in galactic history.
But the enemy has underestimated Earth’s defenses, a secret weapon left by the Sirians, an ancient race which fought against Mental on Earth in ancient times. This device, called the Timelock, will enable Special Forces veteran Sam 'Serious' Stone to return to the time of ancient Egypt and assassinate Mental, saving Mankind from extinction.
In a world where cyberpunk meets fantasy and hi-tech devices are mixed with black magic and psychic powers, Sam travels from the beautiful world of ancient Egypt through many diverse planets, confronting hordes of Mental's hideous minions on his way to the final showdown at Notorious Mental's lair.

- Fight off wave after wave of countless cannon fodder and save mankind
- Addictive, fast-paced gameplay topped with cheesy, Duke Nukem-style one-liners
- Good level design with items, bottlenecks and cover in just the right places

good mindless fun
i played this many years ago and had fun, but just understand this is one of those DOOMey type of games, runNgun...that's about it. it is NOT for everyone, most gamers will probably hate this type of game but if you are like me then you won't mind playing it once in a while, it's the same thing every level though so it gets OLD real FAST. i'am good for about half an hour to 45 minutes and i've had enough....time for a break. when i first played it back in the day i was impressed with how good it looked and how smooth it ran on the pretty crappy PC it was played on, but i don't think it aged very well. only get it if it goes on sale, maybe you can get it for a buck or less?

Shooting frenzy for amateurs only
Poor me. I considered myself quite the shooting fan, having made my way through Duke Nukem 3D, Blood and Blood 2 but little did I know that Serious Sam would annoy me. Too much is sometimes just too much and here, I had a headache after twenty minutes of playing. It's coming from everywhere and there is nothing else here but just shoot at enemis in big wide arenas that shows very little skills in level design. But the graphics are ok, even today and if you're looking for some mindless fun, that should do the trick. If you are looking for something a little bit beyond plain shooting, don't stop here.

All time classic
Doesn't get much better when it comes to action packed FPSs.
