The Same Great Game, But in HD!

This game reminded me of the days I played the Serious Sam: The First Encounter. It's actually quite the same, but now in HD. This really makes it more fun to play because everything is way more detailed then before. Mindless shooting with a decent story makes this a really fun game to play.

Just like the SD version of the game, it's kind of short. But then there are the many secrets to be found and you can play on various difficulties up to Serious. So the replayability of this game is quite good.

Then there's the multiplayer, which is good. After the single player experience you can have lots of fun with it.

All in all this is a great game for the 'shooter lover'. Players who played the older version of the game will get a 'nostalgic' feeling when they play this game IN HD! Now i wanna play the game again... hehe
