It's great that games like Serious Sam get made. Most modern FPS games would rather "immerse" you to death. SS strips away all the bothersome crap that requires patience and involvement and just throws the kitchen sink at you. SS == most games * 10. Instead of five enemies you get fifty. Instead of ten foot bosses you get one hundred foot bosses. Instead of little outdoor courtyards you get vast landscapes with hills, valleys, and towering temples.

Not every game should be like SS, but it shouldn't remain one of a kind. We need more games like this.

Sorry for veering outside of genres to make comparisons... the fact of the matter is; I did experience the first Serious Sam, and after I finished the game I couldn't find a lawyer willing to sue the developers for my time lost.

I doubt I'm the only one who thinks this series is a waste of time. More power to those who like it, variety is a good thing, I just don't understand how this game is considered to be entertaining. I even like mindless games! Serious Sam simply takes this too far.

Question for Serious menz...

To play co-op, do you need to buy 2 copies? It looks like a fun game to play with my younger brother, but he's an unemployed slacker, and I don't see him shelling out the doe. Would be sweet if I could buy it and we could both play on lan

I've always hated serious sam - I thought it was kiddy rubbish with repetitive gameplay.

that being said this looks great - it reminds me of kiss: Psycho circus's graphics - very colourful and bright - looks kind of fun.....

I'm sure serious sam was actually fun to play but it just looked .. "gay" (can't think of a better word)

probably be fun to play 4 player splitscreen on an xb360 or something - bit of a party look to it.

The screenshots are so zany, they make it seem like the game will be incoherent. Hopefully there will be a demo out before the release.

IT HAS CO-OP, so stop asking. Its sad that after how popular co-op was in this you still dont see so much of it. My wife and I only really play co-op games so it would be nice to see more.

Does that first pic remind anyone else of the psycho carnival level in the Painkiller expansion?

ooo, I just had a naughty thought, wouldn't it be great if People Can Fly and Croteam got together and had children?

Am I the only person who thinks the gaming industry has matured beyond linear shoot em ups? I mean... is a game like this actually better with slight graphical tweaks, and even MORE enemies? Lemmings required a higher thought process than Serious Sam.

Is it just me, or are all the enemies standing in the exact same positions in those shots? I somehow doubt they were coincidentally all at the exact same frame of animation at the moment the shots were taken. I'm suspecting they're static models placed in the maps just for the shots.

I love the Serious Sam level design... so over the top, exaggerated and silly, yet retaining style and colour and vividness. Action is King and realism takes a backseat the passenger seat. Genius.
