Serious Sam
Description official descriptions
This version of Serious Sam is based on Serious Sam: Gold, with several notable differences. Like the Gold Edition, it features levels from both first and second chapters; the weapons from the second part can be used when playing the levels of the first one as well. The levels are generally somewhat smaller than in the PC release.
The most significant change comes in the form of a life system. Scoring 100,000 points grants the protagonist an additional life, allowing him to respawn at the same place after having been killed, rather than forcing the player to return to the last checkpoint. Combo points are awarded for executing specific attacks rapidly, contributing to the overall score. The save system has been somewhat modified, with telephone booths representing checkpoints.

The Good
Serious Sam managed to decrease it's bad side by having decent graphics that I have come to expect in Xbox games. It's nothing special, it's definitely not the best I have seen, but it's not bad, so it has ended up in "The Good".
Sound was also expectantly good, but nothing a prize would be awarded for.
The Bad
First of all, this game jumped into the big, BIG action way too fast. Shooting through ten hordes of aliens isn't fun. In normal games, you got the player doing small, then increasing, but SS just went all out into the big action first, so it was very boring afterward. Playing and doing the same thing over and over, I didn't even finish the game.
The Bottom Line
Overall, the game was decent, but the repetive gameplay just dragged down my score.
My Score - 2 out of 5
