I dont think any other game made me more mad as a kid
I shouldn't have used this game as an introduction to the "Serious Sam" games. I don't know what I was thinking.
Anyway, Serious Sam Advance is... painful to watch... and to play...

3D Serious Sam on your portable console in 2004!!
"A Completely Useless Game"
This will be short and not so sweet - this game is hot garbage. I don't really know what I expected going into a "Serious Sam" title on the GAME BOY ADVANCE, but I wasn't prepared for something so clunky, so amateurish, so unfun, and so crummy. Everything about this title is a failure, and makes me question the reason behind its existence in the first place.
The shooting here is terrible. You can't aim up or down, and in order to turn you have to momentarily give up movement control. The damage scaling is piss poor, and combined with the trash controls it just makes for a miserable combat loop. The graphics are also really bad, and grainy to look at even through the use of an emulator. The environments are simplified versions of the ones in the first two "Serious Sam" games, and this is not a good thing here as those games had some repetitive environmental design. Here, everything looks squished together and pixelated to all hell.
There isn't anything else to note about this game as its just a simple yet poorly designed experience. This shouldn't have been made for the GBA - period. I would Not Recommend anyone to play this trash, and its a forgettable entry to a series that needs less monotony and more creative design with its sequels / future entries.
Final Verdict: 1/10 (Terrible)
