Best In Series

User Rating: 8.5 | Serious Sam II PC
Don't be put-off by the early reviews when this came out in 2005. SSII is a very good, worthwhile game in the mold of it's predecessors, but this time in more colorful, more destructible, and somewhat cartoony environments. You also get to use some vehicles (small hover craft mainly).

The story is fine for this type of game - recover all the pieces of the magic amulet or whatever, from each themed planet. The humor is lame but quick and not asking for big laughs.

Familiar enemies are here with the Kleers and Exploding Pumpkinhead men etc..., as well as a slew of new ones.

The bosses are ridiculously gigantic and the engine is still impressive now in 2008. Today's hardware runs this game maxed out very well and it's still impressive.

If you like 3D action arcade shooters and the previous SS games, this would make for a solid bargain bin purchase if you can find it for under $20.
