Serious Sam: The First Encounter

fitzoperfecto's Serious Sam HD: TFE (Xbox 360 Games Store) review

First time with First Encounter

I'm going to keep this simple and quick.  Serious Sam: TFE is level after level of just shooting everything with no semblance of a puzzle thrown into the mix.  The mechanic stays the same throughout the entire game and only manages to spice things up by adding new weapons.  Though this may sound bad, it isn't if you are looking for mindless fun a level at a time. 
 
Please, do not expect anything else.  Just bring a friend, turn on infinite ammo, and enjoy screaming headless suicide bombers along the way.

Back in its prime on the PC, the series was something of a black sheep in the FPS genre, providing stark contrast to the vital narrative tones of games like Half-Life and System Shock, which strove to achieve the notion that games possessed the potential to evolve into something more momentous in a story-telling sense.
