The mirth and mania that comes from a gun-toting man named Sam begin again in the sequel to the original Serious Sam and it's expansion, Second Encounter. The game still has the wild, structure-unconcerned nature that made the first two games such a pick-up-and-play blast, but this edition pumps up the visuals and physics by incredible degrees with a brand new graphics engine, as well as integrates all-new gameplay elements for Sam to cause mayhem. The sequel allows Sam to drive vehicles, and the co-op mode returns for multiple players to cause even more of a ruckus in the game's open and enemy-filled environments.

Just downloaded the demo. If you like the first one, then youll probably like this one. It is diffrernt (more cartoony) but still immensely entertaining.

I was really disappointed by the demo. I was expecting them to take it up a level with the quality, but it feels just like a mediocre mod off of some other game's engine. The first game was fine because it was independent and that showed it's quality. This one actually had some money put into it, and I think it doesn't play so great, with poor physics and sound, and just generally missing that kind of "kick" that needs to be in a FPS action game. Lastly, I was also sadly disappointed by the creativity in what I consider a boring set of weapons.

I'll probably still end up buying this eventually, but as far as old school creative FPS games go, I'll be waiting for a Painkiller 2, to more my liking.
