The hyper-busy design and the day-glo color in the demo look cool at first glance.

Then you realize you can't pick out the enemies easily enough because they aren't distinct from everything else. They get lost in the pallette and blend into the background. Dumb. This is a case of eye candy working against gameplay.

The second and, IMO, worse problem is how few enemies are onscreen. Huge killfests are the only thing SS has ever had going for it...

Maybe that shitty demo represents the lowest point of the game; still, whose burden is that to prove? Developers need to think a lot more carefully than Cro Team did about demo releases.

There is nothing wrong with having an opinion but people bashing this saying it isn't big like first game need to realize, they made the demo level small on purpose, they have said this many times, the final game is going to have much larger levels.

The gameplay is almost identical, the colors are a bit much, it is like someone used the fischure price toys as the base for the colors, also the super shotgun should be a little bit slower and more powerful.

Other than that this is Serious Sam as it always was, did any of you even play the 1st one?

Won't buy this without another demo, won't download another demo without good word of mouth. If the first demo was any indication of what this game will be, no thanks.

I couldn't put my finger on what I didn't like about this serious sam until now. There is too much terrain detail, and too few wide open spaces. What I loved about the previous serious sams was being locked in an arena, more or less, and having to manage swarms of baddies from every angle.

this feels too corridor-ish. in the demo, i felt the need to hide behind corners and calculate my next move, which is not what ss is about. blorgh!

Are there any more rotating rooms like in SE? Or rooms that are a giant bounce pad. You know, fun stuff.

Totally unlike the demo for SS2.

Now that I've played the demo, the screenshots really don't excite me anymore. I see at most 10 enemies on the screen at once, all in enclosed areas, which deeply saddens me.
