Product Description
Serious Sam 2 has the wild shooter fun that made the first game so popular - with all-new game elements, weapons and monsters to shoot up. You're back as Sam Stone, the giant hulk of a man who hates aliens -- which is good, because they're invading and Earth needs a bloodthirsty maniac like him to take them on!

 The best type of FPS. June 21, 2008
It has gorgeous level designs that remind me of other games, like American McGee's Alice & Dungeon Siege II. It's also very ammusing; some of your targets are silly & not terribly bright, but they will bombard you in a patterend routine. The design is cartoony & will continue to look "good enough" 10 years down the line. Stay tuned for Serious Sam 3; supposedly comming in 2009.
I recommend configuring the controls so that the 2 main mouse buttons control the left & right of the camera, & the scroll up/scroll down control the up & down of the camera. Then assign the side mouse buttons to previous & next weapon, & clicking on the scroll button to fire.
The only thing I didn't like about the game was that I couldn't disable the subtitles on the level intro videos & that (except for the computer lady) all the women are voiced by men (which is probably supposed to be a joke).

I really loved Second Encounter, so I persisted for several hours before
uninstalling. The game has such a kiddy feel you find yourself looking for
that purple dinosaur we all love to hate. Mood of the background music is
just wrong, the cut-scenes are often distracting, and the level design
is cramped compared to Second Encounter.
My thanks to Croteam for their earlier work - never died so many times
while laughing! But this...just gonna pass.
Works with Vista and Lots of Fun October 26, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Works fine with my HP DV2500t VISTA laptop. My laptop has upgraded graphics & hard drive but is by no means a "gaming" machine.
SSII is lots of fun blowing up bad guys and stuff. Never takes itself too seriously - baddies are creatively funny and varied.
Nice soundtrack.
Only a couple bugs. One area - if you can't get out the exit door, you will have to redo the level (not all baddies always spawn that level but you are required to kill them before proceeding). And I have found that if your resolution changes - like hooking up an external monitor to your laptop - sometimes the save games get weird.
Cheap in the bargain bins. You won't regret the investment!
A Shooter with a sense of Humor. April 10, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Serious Sam 2 is an excellent upgrade from Serious Sam,The Second Encounter. The graphics are grand improvement over SS-The 2nd Encounter.Mental^s evil minions are even more funny,& ridiculous compared to SS-The 2nd Encounter. Most shooters are frightening,grim,and bloody.Serious sam 2 adds humor to the game when having to kill the evil minions using a variety of Serious & outlandish weapons. All-in-all Serious Sam 2 is worth it in price,humor,etc.
BUY IT NOWWWW!! Great Fun April 3, 2007
Awsome game for the price! Wow.. Graphics are awsome and gameplay is nonstop fun. Just buy it and stop reading reviews!
