i have had tons o fun with this game the past 2 weeks. Been playing it constantly, and today i just beat it - looks like theres gunna be sequel of sorts
anyone else play this game? PC or xbox? i got it for the box.
I thoroughly enjoy the beheaded kamikaze dudes that come at your screaming
but i just beat it on normal, lookin forward to playing the hardest setting -
anyone else enjoy this game as much as i do?

[Starscream]

I loved this game. I think I beat it on all settings. did you find all of the hidden rooms and items? Some of the hidden stuff is funny as shit. I really liked shooting Santa Multiplayer is sweet too. And even tho you fight the same enemies thruout the whole game, I never got tired of it.

[liquid_sky]

shooting santa? This sounds too good to be true.. can it be done on the PC version?

[JagMX]

haha yeah i found that santa, good thing he gives you somethin nice for killin him

i havent found all the secrets, but now thats im starting a new difficulty, im gunna make sure i get everything this time around

Hey! I JUST started playing this game too! Last night even. Been having a blast.. it's very "Doom" like in how it's just straight up FPS shooting. No sneaking around etc. I'm digging it

[JagMX]

xillent dude, what you got it for? pc or the box?
yeah its fukin cool how theres always shit to kill

[NE146]

Xbox.. I've had the pc version since it came out but never installed it But I'm enjoying the xbox version. It's just so much easier since you don't have to "install" it

[liquid_sky]

yea.. the xbox is great for lazy pc style gamers

[JagMX]

haha, ive done something like that before with a pc game, where i had it for a while and never installed it -but i dont think as long as you

youre gunna find yourself somewhat addicted to this game

I've only played the demo for PC, and as all the reviews have said, it's like Doom, as if Doom hadn't been made until today's technology was available. Beautiful, fast, and fun.

[PuddWakkr]

Make sure you kill all those little dudes with the big brains sticking out. They piss me off.

I have a Beta Version (legally gained) for the pc and finished it on all settings. I love it! It is indeed very doom like and keeps you on your toes from beginning to end. I love the egyptian theme coz i like egypt

I've had it on the box for a while but I got stuck at the bit where you have to pick up the 4 ankhs and place them in the middle of the arena one at a time..... Just way too much to kill and I only got like 3 or 4 lives.

When I get really stuck and just can't go on, I do as Homer says, ' If it's too hard to do, then it's not worth doing.'

[b]3 or 4 lives?! i had a 110 by the end of the game

I don't think that I was ever in danger of running out of guys.

Santa appears in Serious Sam: The Second Encounter for the PC. The PC version of Serious Sam is two separate games, while the Xbox combines them into one game (you might already know this). You'll find him towards the end of the game, in the snow level.

I like Serious Sam; very fun and chaotic. Fans of the PC version may want to check out Will Rock (not sure if this is on any of the consoles, though), which is basically a rip-off of Serious Sam but, judging from the demo, the creature and weapon designs are cool and the game looks like a lot of fun (great graphics, just like Serious Sam, although Will Rock seems to have a higher polygon count and better shadows).

[liquid_sky]

i didnt know the xbox was serious sam and serious sam second encounter put togather!

[ultravi0let]

this takes me back to the days of doom where there was no messing about with thinking what gun to use on witch enemys its just fire until you run out of ammo then select another played the PC one then got it on the XBox i was very pleased with it; such fun, a wellcome return from all these dark FPS out there at the moment.
best thing about finishing it is there is a level select, so you can play all the best levels again and again

Ok while I am not Jag I will still answer

Yup, get it. It should be around $20 new and worth every damn penny!
The first time thru, it took me around 45 hours but I left no tree standing, killed 100% of the enemies, and found around 75% of the secrets. Weapons are awesome. You have a chainsaw, few shotguns, chain gun, huge bombs you can throw like bowling balls, sniper, aww hell, anything you can think of is in there. Graphics are cool - not realistic more fun looking. The game is one of my all time favs.

[JagMX]

well xactly what Starscream said
for 20.00 or in some other places a little less
but i found myself trying to destroy so many trees as well
its a really great game to play, great graphix, sounds and man, just so many great pieces of this game- very well put-together

pick it up!

[ultravi0let]

shame about the screen tairing you get on the XBox version

I've played this game through twice and I still haven't found all the secrets, because some are different from the PC version. So I'm going to play it throughagain and make a list of all the secrets I find so I can go through it AGAIN and get them all. Although I don't think you can do the rocket jump you can do on the PC version that you need to get a couple of them...
I just love all the crazy comments Sam makes...

Hey Jag did you find the movie set secret yet? It depicts the scene where you are standing on the pyramid fighting that big red four armed freak.
