Some of the humor falls flat but I did chuckle here and there. Serious Sam 2 is a silly game and tries very hard to be funny. Sam travels to different planets in order to obtain the medallion pieces and the plot is conveyed through cut scenes and NETRICSA who is now voiced. After the events of the Second Encounter, the Sirian Great Council sends the protagonist, Sam Stone, on quest to collect five pieces of an ancient medallion with knowledge that the complete medallion will make the antagonist, Mental, vulnerable.

In fact, I would say it’s less “serious” than the previous entries. Serious Sam 2 is a game that is very self-aware and doesn’t take itself too seriously. It runs on Serious Engine 2 and it looks like the result of a bigger game budget which is actually referenced in-game. For the most part, the gameplay is basically the same as that of its predecessors but there’s a bigger focus on the story and humor.
#SERIOUS SAM 2 REVIEWS PC#
For this review, I played the PC version. Developed by Croteam and published by 2K Games, Serious Sam II was released for PC and Xbox in October, 2005. It’s a bit different from the games that preceded it and even Serious Sam 3 for that matter. Serious Sam II is the sequel to the Second Encounter. The Serious Sam games are all about dealing with waves upon waves of armies of enemies. Massive environments, tons of enemies to blow away, and non-stop action. Serious Sam is great stuff if you like to shoot shit.
