Luckily for you the weapons are as bad as the creatures. From twin six-shooters to the awe inspiring cannon, Serious Sam's eight weapons pack a serious fire-power punch.įor instance, using the mini-gun when faced with three dozen kleer skeletons will eat through your ammo and leave you open to a smack-down. Now toss in a few grenades from the launcher and suddenly your prospects brighten. You'll also find that the more advanced levels require that you pace yourself.

Run through a level and the whole screen will be awash in creatures, walk through and snipe the baddies as they appear and you may survive. You would think that with all of the creatures you'll be facing, this game would be chock-full of power-ups, health potions and ammo, but think again. Fact is, Serious Sam is gonna overwhelm you with creatures and there will be times when all you have is your self-replenishing six-shooters. Don't worry - skill and strategy make it possible. There's something satisfying about mowing through dozens of creepy-crawlies with your friend at your side. Luckily Serious Sam's multiplayer modes are as robust as the rest of the game. You can play in cooperative or death-match modes online in a very stable system.

The game also features a relatively unique split screen multiplayer option that allows up to four players to play on the same computer and actually works.
