If there’s one thing you need to know about Serious Sam HD it is this, it’s hard. The visual effects are truly fantastic considering the age of the artwork. It's clear to see the carnage can be overwhelming. Serious Sam, with wonderful irony doesn’t take itself seriously at all, with an over exaggerated story and one liners that Hollywood would be proud of, this XBLA re-release is full of cheesy moments. Most of us have played a shooter in this vein before a muscle-bound headcase wanders around with a goal in life, which usually involves lots of killing and tramping through blood to reach the end goal of saving the planet or girl, or both. With a play style that harks back to the days of Doom and Quake, leave your cover system behind and get ready for some pain, because Serious Sam is a seriously hard slog. No frills, no luxuries, just cold hard shooting with Hi-Definition visuals and throwback flair. Serious Sam in HD is exactly that, Serious Sam, but in HD.
