No cover systems, no camping – it’s just you against them.

Frantic Arcade-Style Action – Hold down the trigger and lay waste to a never-ending onslaught of attackers or face being overrun by Mental’s savage beasts.

Overall good game, let down by slightly by some technical short comings.Serious Sam 3: BFE is a first-person action shooter, a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom. Finally, a handy quick save feature provides some frustration relief in the tougher final levels of the campaign.

The PS3 version includes the Jewel of the Nile DLC as an added bonus, as well as 4 player co-op. If you can look past these technical foibles, this is the same fun old-school fun as before. As with other major engines, the Serious 3.5 engine finds the notoriously complex PS3 hardware difficult to control.

Unfortunately, framerate stutters, pop-in and a jarring draw distance are the order of the day of the PS3 port. Again, Croteam has made some modern concession for moder shooter in terms of gameplay, with Sam now being able to sprint and aim-down sights. People will enjoy this title for the shooting not the non-sense narrative. I felt that Croteam's attempts to accommodate the modern gamer by injecting an unnecessary story, characters and voice acting into this strictly old-school affair to be misguided. The story, charters and motivations are completely irrelevant.

I felt the change of pace to be enjoyable, fun and refreshing in contracts to todays typically Hollywood-style, heavily scripted corridor affairs. After this Sam is directed to his next location to repeat this process through a brief 6 hour campaign. Once there, enemies rush Sam from all directions, including aliens, monsters and headless, screaming suicide bombers (yes that is correct!) until they are all dispatched. Gameplay consists almost exclusively of Sam blasting his way on a directed path to a specific, wide-open space. Like the previous entries in the series, levels are generally constructed as large open spaces set in a fictions Middle Eastern city. Released originally in late 2011, and ported to XBLA is 2012, Serious Sam 3 is a unapologetic throwback to the shooters of old (think original Doom than Modern Warfare). Overall its mostly the same experience as the PC/XBLA versions, however, as with many of the PC/360 ports of that generation, the PS3 falls short in the technical department. Serious Sam 3 BFE for the PS3 is merely ok.
