User Rating: 7.5 | Serious Sam: Next Encounter GC
Serious sam next encounter is about as underated as a game can get. Well maybe not but its deffinetly not as bad as gamespot makes it out to be. Graphics: The graphics arent one of serious sams highlights, but there not that bad. Textures look smooth enemies look pretty decent and the enviourments look pretty good. But then whats the problem with the graphics? They look to dated. But that doesn't mean that they look bad it just means that they need to make the graphics look more modern.

Gameplay: The gameplay is pretty simple, its pretty much just run and gun. not that run and gun isin't fun its just that it gets repetitive. The controls are probably the most simple i've ever seen in a first person shooter. But one of the highlights is that the frame rate doesn't hitch even when the game heats up with tons of enemies on the screen. The action keeps you on you toes like when your fighting a giant enemy or you hear the screams of suicide bombers getting really close to you but you can't find them.

Sound: The sound isin't all that great, some of the guns sound really weak. But it does have some pretty cool battle music. And the screaming enemies scream sounds different when you turn in different directions which is really cool.

Value: Well now you can get a brand new copy for only about $20 and it does take about 10 hours to beat the game which is nice to see considering a lot of games these days are really short. Even though its a simple run and gun game you still are getting your money worth, especially since you can take a friend through the game with you in co-op mode (which happens to be my favourite part about the game).

Conclusion: If your looking for a simple on your toes action game with many enemies nice looking levels and great multiplayer this is the game for you.
