5.0 out of 5 stars Nice darn game, especially for the price, October 22, 2005

Unfortunately, this game got some bad early writeups because of a semi-weak demo released a couple weeks before the game itself.

However, the new engine is great and smooth, and the new game is well true to the originals. Wide open space shootouts (loved in the originals) aren't quite as common due to the improved ability to handle more things on-screen in closer areas, but this game *rocks* no matter what.

Great graphics, great gameplay, great humor, and one of the smoothest engines out there. Secrets, different strategies, etc., lead to ready replay, as well.

Fully recommend, especially for the price. As far as I'm concerned, this is what games should be like. Now that a new engine has been developed, hopefully sequels are on the horizon as quickly as they occurred with the original Serious Sams.

Outstanding as far as I'm concerned, and fully recommended. Very polished and *almost* 100% bug-free, too.

Especially if you've played prior games in the Serious Sam series, this is a no-brainer.

This review is from: Serious Sam 2 (CD-ROM)

I played the first 2 Serious Sam games and loved them. I feel that there is MORE graphics in this version for those who know how to set the graphics right for their computer systems of course. This game runs best on AT LEAST 2.2 GHZ of processor speed and at least an Nvidia Geforce 5700 Ultra. This game like others are pushing the limits for graphics so updating will be necessary no matter what. I will have to disagree with the person who only gave this one star. He also rated everything else in his review list bad to, so that person has a very negative outlook on something like Serious Sam 2 that he simply did not enjoy like I did. And they have a LOT of monsters to kill and enemies and more so than in the last game. The outside graphics are more varied now. This is NOT meant to be exactly the same as the first game and they added the flying machines Sam can use which I like to. More weapons and a great game for the price at 29 bucks on Amazon. To the one who missed out, shame on you!!!

I've seen a review here and there that say this game was 'corporatized'. Bolognie. This was Developed by Croteam.
The same small group of guys who made the first games.
And, other than the fact that Sam's one-liners aren't as funny this time around, this game is flat out better.
I LOOOVVEEE the Zombie Businessmen. Those guys are hilarious.
And, the backgrounds are simply amazing. Pure and lush. Very colorful. You best have a power rig if you wanna get this baby goin' full steam, though. I've got a P4 3200 with 1 GB DDR ram and a PCI-Express 256 MB DDR ram video card.
I STILL wasn't able to get all of the features kicked to high.
Close, but not all the way.
Lots of new baddies, including some re-imagined versions of the old ones.
The voice of Sam seems to be deeper and a little less comical. I guess you could say, more 'serious'.
Overall, if you've got 4 GIG worth of hard drive space, like a game that NEVER lets up from the action, and have 30 bucks lyin' around, you can't fail with this.
There's even a bit of an actual story-line with this one!
Not that it matters. You'll be too busy getting blisters on your fingers to care.
