What did you think of Sam's Second Encounter?

Thus, the game is better thought of as an entirely standalone expansion pack, though it does easily contain enough content to be justifiably, but still wrongly, labeled a sequel. Not to be confused with a true sequel, Serious Sam: The Second Encounter takes everything that made the first iteration so good and simply expands upon it in all the right ways. Not even a year since the original Serious Sam blew open the bargain bin and blazed a new trail for the possibilities pertaining to PC pricing and production value, the appropriately named Croatian developers at Croteam are ready to unleash Sam's second outing, the also properly titled Second Encounter. Who says twitch shooters can't have developed storylines? Now he's trekking all over the place, killing more stuff, and looking for a new way to hunt down Mental. Not quite the pilot it seems (extenuating circumstances not withstanding). After all was said and done, Sam borrowed himself a spaceship and then crashed it into South America. In weeding through Mental's minions, he murdered close to a million drones of evil, and spent enough ammunition to keep intrepid arms dealers rolling in it for centuries to come. His mission: destroy the evil Syrian armies and then find and eliminate Mental himself.Īfter arriving way back when, Sam, the prolific ass kicker he is, did a pretty darn good job round about Egypt. Sadly, Dancing appeared in the air four feet above the ground and got killed when he landed on a fern (he's a gentle lad, that Dancing is). At that time, humanity's last-ditch effort at salvation was to send Dancing Dan back in time to save the world. It was only last April when we were first introduced to a futuristic Earth that sadly found itself under siege by a tyrannical alien known as Mental and his army of mutants, freaks, weirdoes, and San Franciscans.

And if it doesn't, he can at least shoot a lot of crap at it. He's also darn good at what he does: carrying large weapons and killing lots, and lots, and lots of things. He may sound like he has the IQ of a daft caveman who's been kicked in the head by one too many wooly mammoths, but Sam "Serious" Stone is the future's greatest soldier.
