The larger creature, the more interesting it wet. Sometimes Serious Sam can be a very nice game.
Depart Serious Sam: The First Encounter for the first time only in 2009, probably could have remained invaluable. In an age when shooters have an interactive movie with a heap of staged scenes and a set of effectively organized battles, Croteam just gives a hand gun and desantiruyut in Egypt, which filled the legions of aggressive minions of Mental, the most important and insidious Boss. And to us that we are not weak.

Serious Sam - the game is simple, if not to say primitive. Croatian game designers never puzzled over the concept of "Sam" and its semantic content. It does not find a full-fledged interactive elements (not to be identified as those pressing the lever!). There are no puzzles and riddles over which you can smash his head (any closed door usually opens in the next room, outdoors on the rescue comes an enraged buffalo, ready to break through even the stone wall). In any more or less trivial situation all the chew and put it in your mouth NETRICSA - computer implanted directly into the brain of the protagonist. In general, nothing distracts us from the systematic, pitiless, methodically and very, very bloody shooting jump, run, fly, shooting, spitting and bite creatures. Let this lesson, a player is straightforward to use only his spinal cord and forefinger, which at the end of the game will be twice as strong - so what? Our head does not occupy any strategic objectives (the direction in which to pump the character, what skills to master the following), nor tactical: where to get cartridges and refill your health. First aid kits, ammunition and body armor always lie right at our feet. Fought off another wave of monsters, exhaled, lifted a pill - and everything went according to a new one. Say, the past century? You are right.

Fuse to travel to familiar locations are barely enough to the middle of the game - the level of Memphis Surubs. Next - strained, though the final battle with a big red and very thick skin, probably worth it to spend Sam all over Egypt. And do not care what the monsters silently teleported right behind our backs, that flying too fast and hurt snappish green head sometimes forced to reboot five times that of gigantic size scorpions with guns relentlessly accurate from any distance. For jokes that the protagonist weighed against the monsters, sarcastic comments to the events and self-irony the authors of "Sam" can be forgiven a lot. Running for ten minutes, drove in the carcass substituted under fire creatures pounds of lead, to admire the scatter in different directions pieces of meat, disconnected.That still need to discharge?
