There were levels where I would repeat this process several times, just stuck in an area for over 10 minutes because enemies just kept spawning, strafing back and forth shooting enemies running at me like a first person Gradius, I even got so fed up with it at times that by the last few levels of the game I'd run past enemies instead of taking them on. The problem I had was that I'd move into an area, wave spawns in, I'll mow them down, then I'll start to head to the next area, but wait, there's another wave, okay, I better fall back, I mow them down, now I finally get to move on- oh wait, another wave, really? Lets just fall back again. Don't get me wrong, mowing down hundreds of enemies at a time with a minigun is very fun. The waves, oh my god the waves of enemies were one of the biggest issues I had with the game. Later on I started asking myself "When is this game going to end?" The levels were the most cookie-cutter bullshit I've ever had to endure, it was either urban egyptian environment, underground temple, desert, or running around outside egyptian pyramids and such. But man, that music was getting repetitive, where's that cool metal music from earlier? The first couple levels were a blast, running through egypt, mowing down guys.

I recently completed Serious Sam 3 BFE on 360, I read the shining reviews about how fun and action packed it is, about how it's a fantastic classic shooter not bogged down by tropes common in today's video games (Pseudo realistic, modern military, scripted events, et cetera), and while I do love me some Halo or Battlefield, I have fond memories of Quake and Doom (I still frequently play Doom as well), and decided I should pick it up.
