Serious Sam: The First Encounter - Metropolis Part One

Level: Metropolis (Part One)
Difficulty: Normal
Secrets in this part: None
Secrets: One

After emerging from the Sewers, Sam has his work cut out for him as he strives to reach the main temple of Metropolis but a massive resistance in the form of Mental's army is already waiting determined to stop him reaching his goal.

This level was a bit of a toughie. It took me many attempts to get it right without too many mistakes. It doesn't help that it seems to go on forever as well. Due to the size of the level, there is only one Secret which may not seem much but the actual Secret helps out a lot during the later stages of the level.

There's a bit of a hectic start to this level with the game throwing as much as it can at you. The variety of enemies means I had to keep changing tactics in how to approach the next obstacle be it in the form of a Bio-Mechanoid or a Aludran Reptiloid.

There is a lot of weapon switching in this part. Don't blame me. I'm just a very indecisive person.

----------------------------------------

The secret to this level isn't in this part. Be patient, I shall find it soon enough.

That's a tough level. Especially with extra multiplayer enemies.

Strangely enough, it's easier than Sphynx Alley on the regular version, but way harder on the HD version.

@artman40 But this is a fun level, especially in multiplayer, because of the extra enemies.

All I do on this level is rocket-jump onto a tree at the beginning and hop over the wall to walk to the end.

I still have no idea how Croteam thought that one could beat this level on serious without loading a saved game. Its an achivement. Even with rocket-jumping, the final battle is still required and still enough to kill you.
