Notable for stunningly destructive weapons (who among us can rekindle
memories of Doom’s BFG 9000 without getting all weepy), displaced body
parts, creepy music, creepier sound effects, and visually alarming yet
severely dim-witted enemies that
relied on brute force and/or sheer numbers rather than intelligence, the
FPS of fifteen years ago was certainly a sight to behold. Soon, any
publisher wanting to turn a profit (that would be every publisher) seemed to have its own take on the basic formula.
But too much of a good thing can sometimes wear people out, and eventually the criticisms began rolling in. Where was the originality? The realism? What about a
shooter that taxed our brains as much as it taxed our trigger fingers?
By the turn of the millennium, the truly wanton FPS was on its death bed
and the rise of the thinking man’s FPS was nigh.
At the time, few tears were shed. We’d clearly moved on to new and
better things. Or had we? Judging by the anticipation and very early
reaction a dozen years later to Serious Sam 3: BFE, an FPS throwback if
there ever was one, maybe not. You see, the latest Serious Sam is built
on precisely the same principles that were mercilessly drummed out of
gaming land so many moons ago. Rivers of blood. Endless streams of
brain-dead monsters sprinting straight at you like they’re training for
the Olympics. Small guns, bigger guns, ginormous guns. Industrial metal
soundtrack. Save, die, load, repeat every few minutes. There’s really
not much more to it.
For many, that’s just the way it should be. In Serious Sam’s
introductory cutscene, aboard a chopper hovering over the upcoming
battleground, we get a taste for the sensibilities of our anti-hero,
“Serious” Sam Stone. Lamenting his impending assignment – which, in
typical series fashion involves viciously dispatching alien mutants in
the Egyptian desert – Sam notes he should be “doing blow off a
stripper’s ass right now.” So much for political correctness. Moments
later, said chopper takes a hit and Sam is bounced unceremoniously out
the door, where he plunges onto the roof of a war-torn low-rise. And
that’s where you take over.
You look around, trying to figure out what the hell you’re supposed
to do now, when out of nowhere you’re pounced upon and beaten to a
bloody pulp. If you must fight this freak of nature – and you most
certainly do – you’ll need to do it with your bare hands. So you stand
your ground when it next attacks, clawing and pounding away until, quite
without warning, you rip out one of its big, disgusting eyeballs. And
there you stand, a giant eyeball in one hand, a dying beast in front of
you, and the audacity to coolly quip, “You ought to be more careful.
You’ll put an eye out.”
Walking around the next corner, you spot an item that will continue
to serve you well much later in the game, even after you’ve located and
grabbed an assortment of more modern weapons. It’s a sledgehammer, and
it feels good. You opt to test it out, sauntering on over to the bloated
carcass of a Satanic pigdog and pounding it into meat blobs.
Blood-soaked meat blobs.
Welcome to Serious Sam, an unapologetic kill-fest seasoned with a
heaping helping of gore. And familiar instances of twisted humor too,
though sadly not quite as much of it as in earlier Sam games.
In any case, the latest installment stays true, for the most part, to the FPS style of yore. Doubters need merely consult the game’s official strategy guide, which I now present
truthfully and in its entirety: 1. Hold down the trigger. 2. Run
backwards. 3. Repeat. To that I can add a fourth: Grab every power-up
you see.
But don’t let the procedural simplicity fool you. This is a hard and,
in many ways, an uneven game. Take, for example, the difficulty levels.
In Serious Sam, you’re given the option of five: Tourist, Easy, Normal,
Hard, and Serious. The first is most definitely easy, with very few
real threats throughout. The final two are, in a word, nightmarish. But
the second and third, where most players will be, expose one of the most
apparent flaws in the game. To wit, the action is either feverish or
non-existent.
When the aliens come a-calling, they do so in big, fat waves, often scores
at a time. It’s a crazed, non-stop trip along suicide cliff, and the
chances of surviving the more populated waves on your first (or second
or tenth) run-through lie somewhere between zero and zilch –
particularly as the game is so curiously stingy with not just its ammo
but also its available guns. Hence the need for constant game saves.
Yet between the waves, apart from the odd straggler you’ll meet here
and there, the threat level drops off faster than Herman Cain’s
credibility. That’s okay in Tourist mode because those who gravitate
there presumably want to take it easy throughout. And in Hard and
Serious, you’ll need the breaks.
