Oh get serious Sam. (Serious Sam 2)

The original Serious Sam game never really managed to catch my eye. Not sure if it was the engine, the humour or a combination but at the time shadow warrior and blood were more fun. (They still are, I really should link to that remake project.)

Serious Sam 2 simply put is stupid, mindless, crude and damn good fun. The jokes are ancient but work like a charm. Gameplay is wonderfully responsive and straight forward.

Because I'm me there are a few things to nag about, landing on water surfaces more often than not doesn't even cause a ripple, hell there isn't even a splash sound it's the same thud you get from jumping on the ground. This applies to streams, fountains and puddles. There are a few bodies of water you can enter however these tend to stand out because the rendering of the surface isn't quite so smooth.

My usual nag about voice acting applies to this game yet again, too limited cast. In this game you hop from world to world but apart from the chief of the tribes every single npc has the same voice as on the previous world. For example all the kids sound the same, the females etc etc. Bit of a shame there.

None of that ruins the fun though, a great time killer that should get a chuckle out of you.
