I'm a huge fan of the Serious Sam franchise, having every game (including the HD versions) and playing through them multiple times. I just upgraded to a Catleap 2560x1440 monitor and 7950 and wanted to test it out and hadn't play SS3 yet so I fired it up the last two nights and put 4 hours into it.
Ok, maybe I'm just used to the older games where environments change, you're in the jungle, a temple, the mountain...but this game...wow. I just finished level 4 and I'm still in the freaking city! I'm so sick of running around city blocks, having to look inside of buildings for power-ups and rarely finding any secrets. I'm finding like 2/15 secrets per board. It seems more like a tactical shooter than the others as when you turn a corner you have to be careful that there's not a bad guy there, unlike the other series where they would come running at you and it was a complete gun-fest.
So, does this game get any better? I was so frustrated after last night's round that I'm contemplating not loading it up tonight. I got it for $5 on sale so as it sits I'm at $1.25/hour. I can live with that!
