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!

Cheap good game August 25, 2008 Nice game for about 15 bucks. Very cool funny animations and a lot of dudes to kill. It plays like arcade game in terms of life but overall is a good 1st person shooter with comedy. Highly recommended for something different with little money. I also recommend Serious Sam 1.
Are you serious!? August 14, 2008 Ok the previous games were way better than this. They've kept the humor of the game but as for the game play itself, it was just flat out bad. I think what they did here was aimming this game at a younger audiance. The game desigeners made all the enemies look like they were cartoons like in one part; there these giant mechanical spiders that screem and shoot acid balls at you. Realy lame. And by hearing these this screem all the time will just make you want to put the game on mute. And they've put way to many enemies in it, I mean WAY to many, even for the game itself. The game bogs down if it has to many programs all running at once. They made this game on impossable levels to play and if thats not bad enough, they made a level setting called "Mentel" witch I don't even know how anyone can get past the entire game with that. They did have a couple of things that were good like; In the early stage of the game you can get into this giant orb and run down a bunch of guys, but thats it, its nowhere to be found threw out the rest of the game.
All in all, you can beat the game but its REALY streesfull. There will be times you'll ask yourself "Can anyone beat this game?!"
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).
Green eggs and Sam December 5, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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!
