Keep on runningĪ couple of endless challenges add little real variety as they merely turn sub-objectives into high-score challenges.
Bar the background, nothing really changes from start to finish, and as such there’s little real sense of progression. Indeed, the only real complaint is how repetitive it all is. Meanwhile, the occasional quip from Sam and the screams of the Beheaded Kamikaze provide authentically silly audio backing, along with the melodramatic theme tune that soundtracks every stage. The action is brought to life with an appealing visual style scratched in pencil-crayon that’s reminiscent both of Croteam’s original designs and Terry Gilliam’s animated work for Monty Python. The controls are immaculate, allowing you to instantly respond to any situation, whether it’s a double-jump to prevent a deadly landing or a mid-air kick to deflect incoming rockets. However, as the number of hazards increases throughout, these simply give you more of a fighting chance than any noticeable advantage.ĭespite the game’s breakneck pace, lost lives can’t ever be blamed on anything other than your own slow reactions or lack of skill. Obstacle forceĪfter beating a few levels you’ll find your rage meter cools quicker, while other stages increase the number of power-ups, like extra lives and multipliers. You might have to punt 45 missiles, smash through 30 cacti, or hit Sam with bombs before catching up with him. The main objective never changes from level to level, but you’ll be given additional tasks to fulfil which yield substantial point bonuses.
Besides, a few stages require you to boot missiles into the fleeing Sam to slow him down. 'Don't kick' would seem to be the logical solution to this issue, but the game’s pace is such that certain obstacles are hard to avoid by simply jumping. Kick again and you’ll explode, losing a life. Should this fill completely, the action will slow down temporarily. You won’t want to press your right thumb down for too long, however, as kicks increase your Rage meter. Keep your left thumb depressed and you’ll jump higher and farther. Press the left side of the screen and you’ll jump. Like a headless chicken you run automatically, with just two commands to worry about. Your job is to pursue Sam, dodging obstacles en route to blowing him into pieces of all-American beefcake. This time, however, you aren’t playing as the chisel-jawed hero but one of his familiar enemies, the Beheaded Kamikaze. Determinedly - even dementedly - one-note, with a crazy sense of humour, it’s Serious Sam to a tee.
