Serious Sam 2012 PC Game (Serious Sam 3)

The saga Serious Sam is one of the most extravagant of the universe shooter. Simple as could be, the title has turned his mechanical trigger happy and crazy concept in a remarkable formula for success in the past that really got amazing results with their first game of 2001 and 2002 direct continuation, but have been gradually diluted and delivery after delivery with a franchise that has evolved with the advance of time.

Is this desire to evolve that we include a change in the basis of the game? In all, in fact correcalles adore this completely absurd concept in which to mow down thousands of enemies without much concern that the weapon of choice with which we conduct our killing. Notwithstanding this BFE Serious Sam 3 , unfortunately, the anachronistic touches just a sad and boring proposal that fails to live up to some of his most brilliant record.

A Serious Man
The script for this new release of Serious Sam is so unimportant as expected, so that from this review we will pay as little attention as the game itself seems to do with his own narrative. Only highlight the fact that we return to embody the very same Sam in a new adventure against the countless troops of evil Mental . The game, in fact, it takes so little self-serious as usual in the franchise, and seems to parody the genre’s biggest releases of the recent military action by adopting a stunning backdrop set in urban areas of the Middle East .

The formal and solemn tone Call of Duty or Battlefield, of course, conspicuous by its complete absence on this occasion, and since the first minute of the game and pimping pimp attitude of Sam will be the constant in front of their enemies. The cinematics have a look that does not exceed the merely acceptable, with short video clips not particularly well made ​​that separate one scene from another and they do not work properly disturb the player beyond contextualize each area that we visited.

Otherwise if we drew attention earlier sense of humor of the game, this time we have two cups of the classic comedy series. Not that Serious Sam 3 is a string of gags, in fact more than you can choke on their style, but the truth is that sending Sam moments silence as one of the grenadiers irritating screaming suicide after the head blow is something that is priceless. Besides the fun times are over design of the enemies or star in their own situations, how funny that can be what we are told, is that there are some contexts in which we see each surrounded by a hundred piling to attack enemies in a room tiny, something that has an element of hysteria that is so funny classic saga as their name.

And those moments are few joys that a game that leaves us, moreover, is the most mediocre. Here we describe its virtues (rare) and defects (abundant) in paragraph playable, it should be the true backbone of a video game, and where this third episode of the Serious Sam franchise fails to be tedious and boring. Not even the adrenaline has been saved.

Fresh Encounter, Graphics and Technology
visual level, this Serious Sam 3 is a game of contrasts, has some parts that have a very good point, but others leave much to be desired and make the whole certainly be irregular.

Among the positive highlights mainly the light responsible for some of the most beautiful prints that gives us the game, especially with regard to the open environments, where more than win the whole program. That’s where natural light bathes the stage with a very good job of lighting, is that although it is greatly exaggerated at times, it is also true that it is striking and gives personality to the game.

The Serious Engine 3.5 , however, does not seem so effective in reproducing what is seen on screen in terms of the most tangible. If we have a very advanced and we can set all options on Ultra enjoy a fairly detailed textures, but without reaching either a truly amazing extremes, that is, if we have to choose one of the other results will be much more discreet. With regard to scenarios we miss more detail and polygons in the larger locations, and as the characters continue treasuring the sympathy and even fun little charisma Croteam previous work on these.

With respect to the optimization , the game is so demanding that we will need a good computer to move it. The visual options are particularly large and detailed, but mainly revolve around the program give you the freedom that he values ​​the potential of our team based on the parameters of processor speed, speed of the GPU and GPU memory .. . It is a highly automated to customize the viewing experience of the game, but also leaves plenty of room to leave our home with customizations. In terms of music, this is not too inspired and quite repetitive, with few clues and recycled to the satiety. The same is true of audio effects, which are not of great quality, and the voices away from coming into our country in English with a discrete level and the only translation of texts into Castilian.

Assessment of Serious Sam 3
Serious Sam 3 failure to provide entertainment keeping with the quality standards of the early episodes of the series. It maintains the tone of wild and frenetic action of his predecessors, but it lacks all the spark that characterized and that drops to this release in a show of shots boring and easily falls in repetitive.
