Now, you've finally got the real deal, a dead-on reworking of the original Serious Sam, right down to the ability to save instantly anywhere (with a quick tap of the Y button). The version of the game released in 2002 for the original Xbox cut down the size of levels and added arcade touches, such as phone-booth save points.
This is the first time that console gamers have gotten a look at the authentic Serious Sam: The First Encounter that was released for the PC. If you want to be picky about it, you can't really call this a remake. Sirian Werebulls still steamroll you into the desert, but now they look better doing it.
But you'd still have to look high and low to find another shooter with this much crazy action and attitude. This revamp may not be indispensible because it doesn't bring anything new to the table, aside from snazzier graphics and expanded multiplayer. All of the bugs have been ironed out and the price has dropped to a more reasonable $15 (1,200 points), making this Xbox Live Arcade release a good way to experience one of the zaniest shooters of all time. Fast forward a few months and things now look a whole lot sunnier on the Xbox 360. When Croteam first revived Serious Sam: The First Encounter on the PC in the fall of 2009, the game earned a fair amount of criticism for showstopping bugs and a price that seemed a bit on the high side for a remastered take on a nearly decade-old classic.
