Welcome to the life of Sam 'Serious' Stone, the human race's last hope for survival.
In this first encounter Sam is sent back in time to ancient Egypt to face the
forces of Mental to save humanity. As Sam 'Serious' Stone you will face 100s and
1000s of monsters of all types as you fight your way through this high-adrenaline
first person shooter. With an ever growing arsenal of firepower you will blast
your way through massive and highly detailed maps on a scale never before seen
in shooter. When its all over you can look back and wonder how you ever survived.
Serious Sam is the first major project of a little known croatian development
team called Croteam. This talented group of people started this project in a garage
and after 5 years of work produced this fine work of art. Not only have these
guys made a great game built on a powerful engine of their own design but it is
fun and has a lot of humorous jokes and secrets throughout the game. If you are
not impressed yet tho then consider this, Serious Sam: The First Encounter was
named Game Of The Year by GameSpot in 2001 and has won many other awards. Not
bad for a first project in the First Person Shooter genre.
Serious Sam is what we consider a special game in a genre filled with near-clones
and knockoffs. What sets it apart? Unlike the rest of the developers making first
person shooters Croteam decided to go backwards instead of forwards. This game
takes us back to the days of massive monster hordes and insanely fast action,
but they also threw it on a very powerful engine taking the game style of doom
and making a whole new experience. Amazing graphics, massive levels, extreme detail,
and an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack that will leave you breathless, and wanting
more. This is Serious Sam. Have you got what it takes?
