Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter

This is first person shooting distilled to its purest and most action-packed form. Updated graphics, fun co-op, and a budget price tag join together to put this on any shooter fan's wish list.

SSHD is just a touched up portrait of a lesser-known, much-loved ancestor. [Jan 2010, p.80]

This is a bargain-priced re-release of an older title. Did you always want to play the original, but forgot where you put the disc? Grab this puppy off Steam or XBox Live and have yourself a grand ol' time. But if you are into realism, refinement, cohesive plot structure, and/or crates, go blow your hard-earned cash on some pansy, frou frou FPS and quit wasting my time.

Serious Sam? Stylish shooting & smashing of sh*tloads of supermutants. Story? ...sucks. [Issue#187]

As long as you aren’t expecting anything revolutionary, Serious Sam HD will deliver its classic action gameplay with a graphic boost. Just for fans of brainless shooters.

This game goes along, unfortunately.

Is there a form I can fill in to get these hours of my life back? [Feb 2010, p.95]

I can replay this Game just endless. It never gets boring. Sam is a cool guy.

A horrible "remake". It improved the graphics to 2005 quality but calls it **** the core design wasn't improved at all despite the fact that the original had some really annoying features. If this was included free with SS3, then I'd support it. But to charge us so much, for so little...I actually prefer the original for the nostalgia factor. If you're a diehard Serious Sam fan, then you'll enjoy it I'm sure. If you prefer quality FPS games, do not play this.

There is not much variety here. Always the same locations and same enemies. It spawns huge monster in ridiculous places and expects you to live. It gives you health, armor and ammo and takes it away immediately. There are no vehicles to make traveling bearable. You run everywhere. After playing ss2 I can't really say I enjoyed this.
