If you want to know about Serious Sam please read my review of Serious Sam: The First Encounter. I'll tell you quickly about the second one. It's everything that the first game was only better. The levels are bigger, the mosters are badder, and they throw everthing but the kitchen sink at you in this intense shooter. Even the environment becomes a challenge with bouncing rooms, wind rooms, and levels where the ceiling is the floor and the floor is the ceiling. This game will put even the most experienced first person shooter to the test. The graphics are not the same as some of the more current first person shooters, aiming toward scary realism, instead Sam is colorful and fantastic, and often times quite funny. Often times you will find yourself just staring at the scenery wondering where they came up with this stuff. The sound is good, the voice overs are hilarious as Sam has quite a sense of humor as he blasts hordes of baddies away. Don't go looking for anything amazing, this game puts it's effort into the gameplay, not fancy sound effects. Serious Sam: The Second Encounter is a throwback to the classic days of first person shooters where all you have to do is keep the enemy in your sights, your finger on the fire button and hope you don't run out of ammo. Croteam took a winning game with the first Sam and made it even better so now you have more fun than you can shake a stick at for about half the money you would usually spend on a good game, you can't loose!
