Outside of the controls, getting ported over to the console did little to diminish that truth. This game gets your blood pumping because of the frantic gameplay alone. This level of difficulty makes BFE a great alternative to the COD’s out there. There is no health regeneration, nor cover to hide behind, neither are there any of the modern FPS staples that “help” gamers stay alive. ![]() BFE throws enemies at Sam in large numbers, emphasizing quick reflexes over strategic shoot outs. Moving passed the obvious let’s get into the good stuff. Still, it is frustrating to not have a way to move while picking a weapon in such a fast paced shooter! There is a quick select that allows you to switch back and forth between your current and previous weapon though. Having to move your thumb from the left analogue (used to move) to pick a weapon with the D-pad can lead to a quick death. For instance, pressing left once will get you the shotgun twice will net you the double barreled one. Each direction has a couple weapons tied to it, requiring multiple presses to switch between everything. This is mainly due to the fact that there is no easy way to cycle through all of your weapons you have to use the D-pad for switching. When it comes to controls, the keyboard/mouse combo is much better than the Xbox controller. Even for console standards, the game doesn’t look as good as it could. As cliché as it is to state this, graphically the Xbox 360 version doesn’t hold a candle to last year’s model. ![]() Now that you are familiar with the story, let’s get something out of the way the PC version of BFE is better on almost all fronts. That includes monsters that tower over buildings. As if Sam’s goal wasn’t lofty enough, Mental is sending every alien in his army to stop him cold. Too bad we don’t know how to turn the thing on it’s alien technology after all. Serious Sam was elected to use the machine to go back in time to stop Mental early on. Luckily, we were able to find an ancient machine that allows for time travel. Mental, an evil alien who wants nothing more than to destroy absolutely everything, has been warring with our planet for over three years now. How does it fare after a year’s wait…pretty good if you ask me.īFE is a prequel to the other titles in this classic series. Released last year on the PC, Serious Sam 3 BFE has finally made it to the consoles.
