Serious Sam 2

 

Hale to the king baby.  “Look Dave; if you don’t stop confusing Serious Sam with Duke Nukem, I’m going to kick you in the F**king mouth.”  “Ok, Ok, keep you hair on.”

 

Sam is back in a proper sequel and this time he’s got a friend or should that be, a friend that never spoke in the first game and to be honest; I never noticed that the computer thing was there in the first place.

 

One thing that Serious Sam should be give credit for is laughing at itself.  For instance, when you crash into the first planet, a voice starts to talk to you.  It tells you its name is Nettie, (Can’t be arsed to type the full name), so you stick with the nickname.  Sam asks her how is it that she can talk?  Nettie tell him that it’s something to do with having a bigger game budget and you just can’t top something like that.

 

If the game is aware of is faults and can just laugh at itself, maybe we should too and just enjoy the game.  The trouble is this is still rush and shoot.  The graphics are far superior to its previous iteration but it still leaves me wanting more.  I want more.

 

Maybe by the time Serious Sam 7 is released; someone will realise that a good story and a little bit more atmosphere is a really good idea.
