Description
Sam is back in the all new Second Episode of his battles against the arch-enemy Mental. After finding the Sirian spacecraft in ancient Egypt, Sam 'Serious' Stone hijacked it and headed for Mental himself. But sadly, this was not meant to be, as Sam lost control of the alien craft and crash-landed in the South American mountains.

Now surrounded by an even stronger army of Mental's evil forces, Sam is forced to battle his way towards Mental's fortress and put a stop to his plans of world domination once and for all.
  • Bulldoze your way through hordes upon hordes of enemies
  • Addictive, fast-paced gameplay topped with cheesy, Duke Nukem-style one-liners
  • A diverse arsenal of weapons, from the common shotgun to the all-destroying Serious Bomb

Serious Sam: The Second Encounter

Played this over and over again for years, just mindless havoc and mayhem, and love to try to find all the secrets!

Second encounter. Best encounter

For i9ts age the game is really fun and enjoyable. I appreciate that those games still exists. The graphics are outdated, but the game is very much fun to play, without all of the modern "social" features. The best game to play for cooling down from a long day at work and put ones mind to ease.

Great, challenging, serious shooter!

The best of the old Serious Sam games, nice bosses, cool ideas and classic fps style with some extra physics and serious fun. Feels pretty challenging on normal but I'm probably just noob. If you're here for the story it's more like four stars out of five

Serious fun

I got many hours of "playtime" from this one little game. You have to be smart on which weapon type you use for the different enemies all the while conserving your ammo. Good selection of weapons throughout the game but in the end I was surprised that the basic six shooters with their uncanny range and limitless ammo was my go to weapon for eradicating throngs of enemies at long range. The graphics are good and the action can be fast at times but everything works as it should. Except for trying to find all the secrets nothing in the game should cause you to pull your hair out unlike many games that are programmed with this in mind.
