Serious Sam 2 Free Download GAMESPACK.NET Flying in the face of the ever-increasing sophistication of first-person shooters, a little developer called Croteam decided to make an FPS the way they used to be made. The original Serious Sam was a colorful, chaotic romp through a world filled with numerous inventive enemies. Sam’s Second Encounter offered loads of new content but few actual improvements in terms of gameplay or graphics. Today Croteam finally released the first “official” sequel to the original, the imaginatively named Serious Sam II. Like its predecessors, Serious Sam II is all about shooting the crap out of everything you see. The action is fast and intense from start to finish. You’ll have tons of beasts to blast and a wide variety of vibrant levels to run through. There are a few puzzles here and there but they’re mostly solved through a little exploration or common sense. Exploration shouldn’t be too much of a challenge either; the levels here are almost all very linear and you’ll know you’re going the right way if their happen to be hundreds of enemies swarming towards you. I have to admit, there actually is a little bit of story for Serious Sam II, but it really doesn’t matter that much. Mental’s back, there’s some sort of thing about a medallion and all manner of bigheaded moppets.TOP/BEST ADULT VIDEO GAMES IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (USA)

The action in the game provides its own context and the game becomes more about your survival than about the collection of the scattered pieces of a medallion. Honestly, when a team of football-playing orcs are chasing you down, you really don’t care why they’re doing it. As long you keep blasting away, you’ll eventually finish out the few plot points that are scattered through each chapter. The highly informative Netricsa system makes a return here, this time with spoken dialogue — something to do, Nettie explains, with “having a bigger game budget.” Her comments about Sam’s dalliances and Mental’s capabilities are genuinely funny but she’s more useful in orienting Sam towards his next objective. While that might sound sophisticated, it rarely means more than simply telling Sam to find a key or jump in the giant monkey’s mouth. Sam’s arsenal is quite a bit more inventive this time around but you’ll still find yourself relying on old standbys like the double-barreled shotgun, the chaingun and the rocket gun. Between the three of them, you should have pretty much every situation covered. More specialized weapons certainly find application during the game — the enemy-seeking parrot bomb is great for chasing down highly mobile enemies and the levels are often large enough to accommodate the sniper rifle, for instance — but those situations are fairly rare.

Frantic Arcade-Style Action.

Your ammo supply might become a problem on the higher difficulty settings but there are so many pick-ups scattered throughout the game that you won’t run out of ammunition even if you try to squander it. You really might as well just tape the fire button down because there’s never a second in the game that you’re not shooting like crazy at every thing around you. The wide variety of enemy types keeps things from getting monotonous. From the hilarious zombie stockbrokers to the deadly patchwork, wind-up rhinos to the giant robotic spiders, you’ll find a wide range of enemies, each with their own attack styles. Some individual enemies have deadly attacks but the enemies in Sam II are dangerous because of their numbers, not because of their intelligence. Some flying enemies even get stuck in tricky parts of the environment. The pace of the action keeps you from appreciating the visual look of most enemies, particularly the smaller ones. Some of the orc footballers or wind-up rhinos can get a little too close for comfort but, generally speaking, you’ll be too busy killing stuff to care about how it looks. It’s a little easier to appreciate the larger enemies (and there are plenty of these) but, even there, you’ll notice that the models are getting by on personality rather than poly-counts. If the creatures don’t look quite as good as some in other recent shooters, the game makes up for it by regularly putting dozens of them on screen at one time.Gears Of War

At nearly every turn, you’ll find yourself confronted with large groups of different types of enemies. This isn’t exactly Far Cry Instincts but the visuals are vibrant and fun and suffice for this type of arcade shooter. Outside of the enemies, the rest of the game looks quite good. The vegetation is excellent overall, with plenty of trees, grass, flowers and other greenery dotting the landscape. Nice textures are found on nearly every surface and the lighting, while not eye-popping, is still good enough to lend a little atmosphere to the game. As with the enemies, the levels here are remarkably varied. Over the course of the game players will run through massive bases in the snow, fairy tale cities, giant-scale backyards, Asian carnivals and a host of other inventive areas. There’s a rudimentary attempt at a physics engine but it falls short of what gamers have come to expect in the days of Havok-driven ragdolls. Enemies fly back from your blasts or tumble to the ground in a very unspectacular fashion. You’ll find a few opportunities to interact with the game world but this merely involves picking up dead bunnies or basketballs and pointlessly flinging them around. Stacking boxes is the one area where physics intersects with actual gameplay but even here you’ll find that the boxes don’t have any sense of substance at all; they just seem like weightless pieces of geometry. When Serious Sam: The First Encounter quietly appeared in 2001, it was a real breath of fresh air.

Spectacular Environments.

The game delivered fantastic-looking, incredibly intense first-person-shooting action without any of the genre’s pretenses of grandiose storytelling, all with its own unique style and for a bargain price of $20 at that. Serious Sam has made appearances a handful of other times since then, but only now has a full-fledged sequel finally arrived. The good news is that this is Serious Sam all right, packing in all the silly humor and massive shooting-gallery-style levels you’d expect from the previous games. The bad news is something’s been lost in translation, perhaps due to the passing of time or due to the new 3D graphics engine, or–more likely–because of a combination of each. Serious Sam II has a lot of levels and a few good laughs, but its simple shooting action is less likely to get your adrenaline pumping as it is to make you go numb. “Serious” Sam Stone, casually dressed in a T-shirt and jeans, has been summoned to rid the universe of Mental and his nefarious forces. To do this, he’ll need to travel to different worlds to collect medallion pieces from their oppressors. And to do that, he’ll need to run from point A to point B through nearly two-dozen levels, stopping frequently to gun down literally hundreds of foes. Along the way, you’ll find a variety of big guns, grab lots of health, armor, and ammo power-ups, and probably discover some amusing secret areas.Warhammer 40000 Gladius Relics Of War

But mostly you’ll just shoot and shoot and shoot as enemies pour in from all around you, attacking from the ground and from the sky, either hanging back and firing at you or rushing right toward you–sometimes using a combination of the two. The original Serious Sam boasted a 3D graphics engine that could render incredibly huge levels packed with incredibly large numbers of enemies. By comparison, the levels in Serious Sam II seem smaller, and so do the enemy counts (or at least these factors don’t stand out like they used to). Both on the PC and the Xbox, when large numbers of enemies clutter the screen, the frame rate noticeably bogs down, which hurts the experience. The bigger issue is that the action in Serious Sam II just doesn’t feel all that satisfying. The game’s weapons look big and bulky onscreen, but the interaction between your firepower and your enemies’ bodies feels rather hollow. Enemies just kind of break apart into bits, then quickly fade away. So despite the high volume of enemy casualties, you just don’t get that sense of wreaking massive havoc and carnage with your ridiculously oversized guns. The weapons don’t behave as you’d expect them to in other ways, as well. The very first weapon you find, a multibarreled shotgun that looks far too much like a toy, turns out to be perfectly accurate at extreme ranges, contrary to first-person-shooter canon, which stipulates shotguns should only be effective up close.

Destructive Weapons.

So this boring gun actually becomes your mainstay throughout most of the game. Using a shotgun to snipe aerial targets from miles away just feels silly, but it’s not the same “silly” that Serious Sam II is going for. The rest of the weapons are pretty straightforward. You never have to reload, but just keep an eye on your ammo count. Serious Sam II doesn’t do much with the original game’s formula, but it introduces some vehicle-driving and turret-gun sequences into the mix. These aren’t anything you haven’t seen in numerous other shooters prior to this one, but they help alleviate Serious Sam II from what’s a very monotonous level design overall. While the worlds you’ll visit have their own unique visual style and enemies, the underlying level design and enemy behavior doesn’t change much from one level to the next, and the game’s challenge doesn’t really escalate all that much either. In fact, at the default difficulty, most of the game is fairly easy, though certain end-of-level sequences will probably take you a few tries, at least until you figure out where all the enemies are coming from. Many of the game’s levels end with an anticlimax. You battle waves and waves of foes until they simply stop coming, and then the level ends. Some decent boss fights are thrown in, but it’s all been downhill for Serious Sam’s boss fights since the jaw-dropping battle at the end of the first game.

All the game’s levels are bookended by little comedic cutscenes, some of which are absurdly amusing. However, just as often the humor falls flat. The same can be said for Sam’s various one-liners during the course of the gameplay. Later on in the game, Sam even starts recycling his material, as if you needed to be reminded of such gems as “I eat resistance for breakfast.” The differences between the PC and Xbox versions of Serious Sam II may seem purely cosmetic, but they add up to a lot in practice. Specifically, the Xbox version looks worse, and the auto-aim feature that’s enabled by default to compensate for having to use a gamepad instead of a mouse and keyboard sucks away some of the game’s challenge. The auto-aim feature makes it laughably easy to hit your mark, though it’s necessary in the many instances when you’re shooting at targets from very far away, where the Xbox version’s low resolution and sketchy frame rate conspire to make it difficult to line up your shots. Also, the PC version supports online cooperative gameplay for up to 16 players, while the Xbox limits you to four (though we had a lot of problems getting into a stable co-op match on the PC). The Xbox version also retails for more than the PC version, neither of which, incidentally, is coming out of the gate for the budget price of the original. So, yeah, don’t spring for the Xbox version unless you haven’t upgraded your PC since the first Serious Sam.
