This isn't really a sequel... at least, it doesn't feel like it. This and Serious Sam: The First Encounter feel like they were one game that got split in half.

Nothing wrong with that - everything you liked in the First is here in the Second, and more. New types of enemies (the Zorgs are complete wimps... but Cucurbito the Pumpkin looks like a cross between Pumpkinhead and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre). New weapons (Chainsaw, Flamethrower, Serious Bomb, etc). New environments (sort of).

Sam didn't make it... he was in the Sirian spaceship, headed for Mental's HQ, when the CroTeam developers (they do have a wicked sense of humor) crashed into the ship - Sam landed in South America. Now he's got to tear through ancient Mayan ruins, then through ancient Babylon, etc.

You don't need a more powerful graphics card, you don't need a bigger computer... this will run on the same machine that ran the First.

If you liked "The First Encounter" then you'll love the Second - it's more of the same, with a few new toys tossed in. Grab this - you won't be disappointed.

- fun as hell
- plays on almost any computer
- co-op mode
- dirt cheap

if you enjoy fps' at all, you're doing yourself a disservice by not owning this game
