Version: Serious Sam II demo
"weird game"
Pros: Oh i cant think of any
Cons: The game has lost all the glory it had in past versions. As being a long time Serious Sam player, I found this a grave disappointment in both gameplay, graphics, and sound quality. In shortened words, it has gone from a PC grade level, to a console. (Which has its perks) But is not the sam I'm looking for.
also,I've got Doom III, Quake 4, Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R., Painkiller, Far Cry. Absolutley no problems running any of them at full specs. (AMD 4200 x2, NVidia 7800GTX, 2Gig ram, SB Live 5.1 Platinum, XP Pro 2SP) This game just will not run. I've even installed the patch (.066a)which is supposed to fix some twin core problems. Thought that would do it. Latest drivers for everything are installed. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game. After the first level, once into the second, I just loose all control. The mouse goes from the ground to the sky, continually. Tried to control with the keyboard but can't aim very good that way. Unistalled and reinstalled my Logitech drivers. Tried uninstalling the Logitech and going with the XP default drivers. Nothing works. Uninstalled and reinstalled the game twice. No luck.
and also I've got a 2.4Ghz P4 with Nvida FX5200, SoundBlaster Live! card. It's a nice fast DELL system, but this game ran very slowly on anything but 'minimal' setting. Jerky video/game play, garbled, scratchy sound - so bad I had to mute. There's some serious problems here. Perhaps after some patches the game will work, but as is I would not purchase - no way! Shooting at multicoloured light flying things - when the background is also multicoloured reflective and moving and I sometimes didn't even know what I was aiming at. Being chased by 6 helicopters could be fun, but it's almost like they used the same code for running animals as they did for helicopters... they would just run into you or buildings and crash themselves. I felt like I got shot 100 times yet nothing happened to me. It's a bit hard to even see that they are shooting at you. Bring back the head-less bombers " Arrrrgggghhhh "
