This sequel to the popular original, runs on the newly designed Serious
2 engine with graphics, environments and physics that are 100 times
more complex than previous Serious Sam games. It maintains the same
level of extreme action that Serious Sam is known for. Despite its jaw-dropping
visuals, Serious Sam 2 will surpass the onscreen enemy benchmark that
the original Serious Sam games set. Sam travels through various different worlds collecting parts of a medallion in an effort to defeat Mental, an extraterrestrial overlord who seeks to destroy humanity. The player begins with a certain number of lives that represent the number of times the player is allowed to lose all of his health and re-spawn immediately from the last saved checkpoint. There are over 40 beautiful, expansive
levels spread out over 7 unique environments. Sam will travel through
thick jungles, murky swamps, frozen tundra, futuristic cities, volcanic
planets, and more. Each level is seriously enormous and there are 45
newly designed enemy types for Sam to face. The series is known for
its outrageous enemy personalities, and it gives players
a lot more to laugh about. There's also new vehicular and animal-back
combat. Sam is guided by the Sirian Great Council and receives sporadic
aid from the natives of the worlds he visits. The multiplayer mode
includes online co-op and deathmatch, the latter having been introduced in a patch. Blood and gore effects have been improved relative to the previous games, and all enemies other than bosses can be gibbed. |
