With the capabilities of the new engine, Croteam will surpass the record set with the first Serious Sam for the most enemies on screen at one time. [2K Games]… Expand

    Sam II's wild, random charm makes for a twisted Duke Nukem meets Alice in Wonderland sort of roller coaster ride-a perfect change of pace from the scads of grim 'n' gritty shooters steeped in WWII war zones and dystopian postapocalyptic futures. Just don't take it too seriously, OK?

    Add in the co-op mode, and it comes down to the fact that if you've ever liked any first-person shooter, you should pick up Serious Sam II.

    I've enjoyed Serious Sam 2 as much as I did the first release and its expansion. In some ways, it's better, I certainly laughed more at the corny humor and references to other 3D shooters ("I love collecting big guns," Sam quips on Planet Kleer. "It looks so … UNREAL.")

    It's not quite the Serious Sam that you've known and love, although there are plenty of great moments. [Holiday 2005, p.76]

    It's essentially the same game in a prettier engine, mowing down waves and waves of enemies with the all-too-infrequent vehicle sequence or boss battle to break things up.

    Unfortunately, sheer numbers alone are just not enough to set this apart from the competition. [Nov 2005, p.90]

    The problems with Sam have nothing to do with the bad guys; there's a lot of them, and they're all weird. [Jan 2006, p.42]

    [Real score 92/100] It has some things that I think game industrys is seriously lacking, like creative level design and lots of humor. This [Real score 92/100] It has some things that I think game industrys is seriously lacking, like creative level design and lots of humor. This is game is so serious it kept me laughing or smiling throughout entire playthrough. Gameplay may seem monotonous, but who cares if you are having so much fun. It kept reminding me of Psychonauts with it's humor. Recommended for everyone that don't take games too seriously.… Expand

    The best game is better than doom. In this game, you fight against aliens and big aliens.

    Лучшее кооперативное веселье! Приятная графика, юморной сюжет, хоть его и очень мало. Куча интересных весёлых пасхалок+к этому классный дизайнЛучшее кооперативное веселье! Приятная графика, юморной сюжет, хоть его и очень мало. Куча интересных весёлых пасхалок+к этому классный дизайн оружия и монстров из 1 части Сэма. Проходить игру и одному классно, а в коопе c друзьями - ну просто шикарно, причём играть можно в коопе до 16 человек! "Запускай Петушка", "Буля", "Космические шреки", сколько всего вы придумаете с друзьями, играя вместе) В конце достаточно эпичная битва. Минусов у игры нет. Если кто-то пройдёт игру в детстве, то это будет одна из его любимых игр детства, я перепрошёл игру с друзьями в 22 года и не изменил своего мнения.

    The best co-op fun! Nice graphics, humorous plot, although there is very little of it. A bunch of interesting funny Easter eggs+cool design of weapons and monsters from 1 part of Sam. It's fun to play the game alone, but in a co-op with friends - well, just gorgeous, and you can play in a co-op of up to 16 people! "Launch the Cockerel", "Bulya", "Space Shreks", examples of nicknames you can think of for creatures in the game) ) At the final level, a fairly epic battle. The game has no drawnbacks. If someone completes the game as a child, then it will be one of his favorite childhood games, I replayed the game with friends at 22 and did not change my mind.    … Expand
