Mindless fun that's worth it

Gameplay is mindless and repetitious, but that's to be expected. The game has more enemies than any 5 shooters have combined. Collecting medallions to save the universe is a lame plot, but the enemies and end bosses are tougher to defeat than before. For the price, it's worth it to shoot stuff up for hours. Good game length, maybe 10-15 hours or so, more for the harder difficulty levels. The `serious' difficulty level is tough but well within most gamers' potential. 3rd person view can save the day at times to look beyond obstacles at incoming enemies. Graphics and sound aren't too shabby. I'd give it an 81% rating.

Awesome Sam

This game is great fun. Sam is back and ready for action. The maps are huge and very nicely rendered. Check the system requirements though, especially the graphics requirements. If your system isn't quite up to snuff, your gonna have problems. I had to update my video card to even run it. Happily though, it is was worth it. This game is huge and goes on forever. The only down side I've seen is the final boss, which appears to be unbeatable even in the easiest mode.
If you liked the previous Sams, I think you'll really enjoy this outing.

Best Game Ever

Ever since the first Serious Sam game, i have been a huge fan. Then when i found out that they were comming out with a second one i just could not wait to get it! And when i finally did, i was amazed. The graphics in this game are just amazing (this is based on computer processor and graphic card, i have a AMD Athlon FX 4200+ and a ATI Radeon X800XL pci express and it runs perfectly!) For one thing instead of being in like those room and hallways and little outdoor place. Now your in like this hugh word that goes on forever. The whole game is different. in the 2nd one ur teamed up with little blue people that you have to help protect their village from new bigger more fun to kill monsters and robots. The game lasts pretty long even for pro gamers. The new guns u get are sweet too. they start off boring and dont really do anything. but as u advance u get cooler better weapons. You even get little things you can ride on or in. Like a giant glass ball with spikes on it, that allows you to drive into ur enemy and it kills them. Then you have like dinosaurs that take you place and spit fire at things. overall this came is like the best ever and really better than the first one. very happy its a must have even if you didnt get the first one!!!

Absolutely Brillant every moment!

What a fantastic game! Exciting, very funny, a great video experience as would be expected from the past Serious Sam games. This game should be required viewing for all those other so-called numbnuck software "developers" who produce the garbage all over the software shelves. Here's the new mantra, if it's Croteam, buy it!!!!

AWSOME !

The Graphics in this game are cool.
The code is tight, no glitches.
The action comes at you from all angles, but you have
the guns to take them on. There are many different kinds
of enemies. This is a hardcore, well designed FPS, but
don't expect a deep plot, becuase it's not meant to be
that kind of game. You can always download the free
demo & the demo patch first, which is what I did.

Fun game, but not as good as it's predecessors

I enjoyed Sam 2 a lot, but it lacks the spirit of the first two Sam games, and the voume of baddies, while present here, just doesn't seem as consistent and challenging as the first games.
I can live without the potty humor too.

Why didn't I play this a long time ago?

OK so I admit, I thought this was just another Duke Nukem ripoff... and I was right... but the story and character you play isn't what I expected at all. This game is absolutely wacky. They make fun of the "serious" title constantly. It's like the movie "Mars Attacks" that was totally off the wall. Very refreshing. The only part that was horrible was the ending. But I still wish I would have picked it up in the store when I saw it a year ago.

The Best Game ever

I own SS the Second Encounter, which I've mastered, having played it several times. Maybe it's the fact that I know the maps on the older game, but this newer one seems a little harder to me. Nevertheless, it's great fun, the graphics are unbelievable, and the gameplay is excellent. I'm sure that when I beat the game, the maps will be more familiar to me and it will be easier to beat.

I don't like the fact that you sometimes don't accumulate your entire arsenal of weapons by the end of each world. I really liked having a choice of which weapon to fight the next upcoming battle with. It seems like I'm using the dang shotgun too much, when I really prefer the minigun or rocket launcher, which I rarely ever get my hands on. But all in all it's a good ride. Get it and beat it.

The Serious Sam franchise continues with this entertaining game. While not up to game like HL2, F.E.A.R. or Doom 4, etc., it is nevertheless an entertaining diversion.
